Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)My need was for a small 10 gallon "hospital" tank [one of three in the house].
Cheap setup (purposefully so)
Lighting was horrible - one 25w incandescent (or maybe halide) orange tube bulb and a bluish CFL 10w "coral life" [kept blowing CFLs left and right when running two CFLs in the fixture, so that's how the orange tube bulb stuck around]
I saw this LED aquarium light here on Amazon. Already a HUGE fun of GOOD [which usually means expensive] LED lighting. I already use super high end [$90/bulb] Edison replacements and 16w LED shop lights as 48" florescent 40w bulb replacements.
I liked the thin bar design and the low energy 9w design. Ordered for the small tank, and it came today.
I really like the brightness of the 9w II mode - very bright - appears good enough lumens for good plant and algae growth. The 3w I mode shines only the three center blue LEDs giving the tank a funky black light night light look - can't wait to see it tonight after sunset.
If I am still feeling the product love in a few days, I may order two of the 48" versions for the 125 gallon display tank in the front hallway.
Very good product and LED lighting the cheapest thing the run any lighting with, so why not covert the aquariums to LED to save on the electricity bills.
More light with only 25% of the wattage - win-win. Since this aquarium remains lit a lot, the LED lighting will probably pay for itself in a year or so. Recommended - two thumbs up.
