Usage Tips
Adjust the Mounting Brackets
- For rimless tanks, adjust the light so it sits evenly on the glass edge.
- For rimmed tanks, fit it over the rim without leaning on fragile plastic edges.
Keep It Dry
- Mount the controller and power adapter outside the tank, and avoid splashing water to protect electronics.
Setting the Right Brightness and Color
- Especially for newly planted tanks or delicate plants, begin on a lower brightness level (30–50%) for a week.
- Once plants show healthy growth and no signs of melting or algae, gradually increase.
Adjust Color Modes Based on Goals
- Strong white + red spectrum boosts plant photosynthesis.
- Blue tones enhance fish colors and make the tank more visually appealing.
- Experiment with different color mixes to balance plant growth and aesthetics.
Use Natural Day Cycle
- Mimic sunrise →daylight → moonlight for less stress on fish and plants.
- Sudden full-power changes can shock livestock, so gradual transitions are better.
Use Fertilizers & CO2 with Light
- Strong lights paired with nutrient dosing and CO2 often yield the best results in planted tanks.
- If you’re using CO2, match peak light intensity with CO2 dosing for consistent growth.
Maintenance & Care
- Wipe off dust or salt creep from the light housing occasionally using a soft, dry cloth.
- Do not spray water directly on the fixture.

Extremely fast shipping and a great compact light with many colors and brightness setting…I really like and would recommend this light. Adds a new dimension to my 55 gallon tank….I really like the way it can fade and continuously cycle through the colors… very cool!!
Works great. I highly recommend.
Great light – love the built in timer. Tank used to get stressed when the older light would come on, straight 0-100% no gradient, this one seems to be much more liked by the animals as well as the plants. Great product. Beware, not all sizes come with the 2 sets of risers.
Love this light! The natural cycle keeps my fish happy and looks beautiful.
