Clip On Aquarium Light for Plants-24/7 Cycle Fish Tank Light with Timer, Full Spectrum+7 Colors Mode, Auto On/Off, Adjustable Brightness and Height, 12W (7inch for 7-12 inch Tank)

I got this probably 2 years ago and wanted to wait to write my review to see how it would hold up. Well it's 2 years and still functioning perfectly! The timer setting is very useful, I have it set on the day cycle and it goes through different color temperatures and brightnesses, mimicking the sun. One downside, if the power goes out you do have to manually reset the timer, it doesn't just pick up where it left off.It easily clipped on the back of my tank (rimless), and the height can be adjusted by loosening plastic screws, then you can slide the light up and down the track, and tightening it at the height you want. I actually have it near the highest setting because my tank isn't very deep, and the plants are super happy, even bringing out red colors in some of them.A word of warning, it does get very hot. Not hot enough to burn you, but hot enough to surprise you if you touched it. Make sure you have adequate airflow around it so that it doesn't get too hot. I haven't seen any performance issues because of this, but I've also always kept it in an open area.Overall, great bang for your buck and I'm happy I got this one!

The lighting provided is excellent, with several modes available. I appreciate the adjustable feature, particularly the 24-hour mode, which eliminates the need for constant adjustment. As a result, my fish appear to be healthier and my tank looks fantastic. However, the instructions could be clearer. Overall, I highly recommend this lighting system.

This is the first light with a 24/7 mode that got it right (that I've tried, anyway). For example, the Hygger will start off with a reddish sunrise mode, white daylight, and end with gradually fading white light and replace it with blue for the "moonlight" mode. This isn't how actual daylight fades work; but thankfully, Seaoura understands perfectly that you have to end with a sunSET (red) before you get to the pale blue twilight. Is this essential for an aquarium ecosystem? Not really, but it's a nice aestetic that I suppose most aquarists can appreciate.I've had this Seaoura light on my little planted cube for about one week now and it's done wonders for the plants. It replaced a Lomine that was there for 6 weeks, supposedly had 10 watts and just wasn't cutting it -- the bacopas, saggitaria, and dwarf hairgrass were barely hanging on but not growing. In one week, the bacopas are about an inch taller already and the sag have been sending out runners. Love how the clean lighting also makes my flame endlers pop.The programming is easy on this model and doesn't require you to link it to a phone to start. Which is nice because it cuts down on the amount of apps overall and frees up the phone. Hey, maybe that shows my cantankerous oldie vibe, but this trend of downloading an app to your phone to simply turn on a light is ridiculous. I'm looking at you, Brite.This Seaoura light has it all -- reasonable pricing, intuitive operation, and good looks for a more modern style. It's bright enough for medium-light plants to thrive. This brand is likely going to be my next purcase for larger aquariums in my future plans.

This light was easy to assemble and does a great job on my planted cube. It’s a good value for the money.Having said that, the controls are a nightmare. The “labels” are microscopic and thereby illegible. The buttons and what they control are confusing. The written instructions aren’t much help. You have to choose between using the preset and the ability to choose the intensity of the light. I like the schedule of the 24 hour timer, but it illuminates the entire room, which seems a bit intense for my betta. The algae in her tank really liked it though so I’m fiddling with the settings again.

Great light, I personally don't want or need a built in timer, or 24hour sunrise/sunset feature. The thing this light gets right is if you just set it to the brightness setting you want, with no timer, it remembers its settings so it works perfectly with a smart plug, as a simple on off without resetting to a default mode.The light itself is bright enough to grow any plants in my 6 gallon nano cube, with CO2

I'm the type of person who dives deep into product research, often to the point of frustration. When my previous aquarium's full spectrum light stopped working, I spent considerable time searching for a suitable replacement. Seaoura kept appearing in my findings, a brand I hadn't encountered before. Taking a chance, I placed my order, and it arrived surprisingly fast. I must say, this light is impressive! It's sturdy and well-made. While I'm unsure how it would work on a rimmed tank, it fits my rimless setup perfectly—securely without risking any scratches on the glass when installed correctly. It looks great and is positioned high enough to support the indoor plants in my aquarium. The inline remote is user-friendly, making it a fantastic value for the price.
