For the price, the HG018 is a great light—very bright with tons of color and setting options. The 24/7 timer feature is what really sold me. It can be a little tricky to set up at first, but once it’s programmed, it works smoothly. Hygger continues to impress with their quality products.
That said, I do have two small suggestions:
I wish Hygger offered an extended mounting option for those of us who prefer the light to sit a bit higher above the tank.
The power cord placement could be improved—it’s currently attached to the side of the light, even though the unit mounts from the back. A rear-centered cord would make for a cleaner setup.
Despite those minor gripes, this is still a fantastic light and definitely worth the investment.
The HG018 works really well—simple, reliable, and does exactly what I need for my aquarium setup. No complaints so far!
The HG018 is the perfect size and provides just the right amount of brightness for my tank. It really enhances the look of the setup without being overwhelming. My only wish is that there were a compatible tank lid designed to fit around it—it would make the setup feel more complete. Still, very happy with the light overall!
The HG018 works great for my freshwater setup! It provides clean, bright lighting that really brings out the colors of my fish and plants. Simple to use and does exactly what I need. Very happy with the performance so far.
I am using these on a couple of smaller tanks, these have a great full spectrum full light if you do not have to penetrate deep tanks. I ma using them on tanks that are no deeper than 13″, and I use a couple inches of substrate. That being said, I am having excellent results with vibrantly colored plants, and fish colors are vibrant as well.
Very sleek light, looks great on my custom 35gal hex. The sunrise and sunset features are my favorite. The colors are strong and everything works well. This has been by far my favorite light in my 16 years of fish-keeping.
