HITOP Full Spectrum LED Aquarium Light – 12” 16” 24” 32” Classic Fish Tank Light with RGB LEDs, with Timer and Stable Extendable Brackets (12-20in...

The quality is OK, and I like the clips that hold the light extenders onto the rim. The timer is weird in that it doesnt come on at the same time every day, waking me up when I forget to turn the timer off after it shuts off. But my plants are dying. If its just to illuminate fish, this might work well, but I would not recommend it to keep plants healthy.

Happy with my order Great fish tank light Easy to set up,bright

I have this light on a 10 gallon and my plants are doing well with it. I like the simpleness of this light and the timer works great. I don't care for the feet on the legs but that is the only thing I don't like.

Decent to great spectrum depending on the length; nice and bright, good plant growth. Not the most solid construction nor is the fixture itself much to look at. One came with some scuffs. I'm always wary of cheap white plastic yellowing over time. Timer is pretty simple. No dimming with: always on, always off, 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours. There is a manual rocker switch that works in conjunction with the timer. I like that the adapter is on the cord rather than the plug, but the cord itself is rather short. The price and brightness make it too hard to take away any stars. Would make a great back up light for an emergency for anyone.

As a non-recovering Tankoholic. I own several different brands of lights from the Fluval 3.0 ,hygger 957 and everything from shop lights to outdoor spotlights. Every aquarium I have is heavily life planted deep substrate natural tanks. So I am hoping this very inexpensive light is worth at least what I paid for it and if it is worthy I may need a dozen more. So far at first use I can say light output is worthy of the price, I have no choice but to admit this light will grow low level light plants very well in a 1 foot tall tank. as far as longevity and durability I will comment on that in six months or sooner if it pukes out. The physical size of this light is much smaller than expected, which is nice for nano tanks. The light does come from the factory set up to be used on a rimless tank, The plastic clips with a lot of work can be removed to sit on glass top. I say a lot of work because I actually had to use two pliers to break the pieces of plastic apart. I would love to fall in love with this light if it continues to work as it does now for at least one year I should be happy after all it was a $14 light. As far as the build quality, it was a $14 light. So far do I like it at $14 yes I absolutely do, so far! One month update. The light has been working like a champ for a month now. Each of the LEDs are still working. My only complaint with this light so far would be the color, it is very white almost unnatural, but easy to remedy with a drop of red food coloring and a paintbrush. I give the glass aquarium top a light wash with a red Magic marker to help warm up the color palette. This greatly helped the looks of my CPDs and bloody Mary shrimp, Inside a heavily planted 10 gallon. So far still a good light for $14 Two months on and still working just fine. This light (16)is almost too bright for a 10 gallon. My bloody Mary shrimp glow like little red lightbulbs on my black Eco complete substrate. Ive cut the light back too six hours a day and the plants are still going crazy. 18 month update all of them are still working just fine, none of the LEDs have burned out on the five lights I am running. I am getting ready to buy a couple more of these for the plants I have growing out the tops of my aquariums, I have around 10 riparians set up full of house plants with the roots inside the aquariums. I am running a couple of these lights now in my fish room on my own timers they have been working flawless. Dollar for dollar I dont think you can find a brighter light than this. Will it show off the colors of all fish of course not but it does what it does very well.
