In our ongoing effort to make lighting as easy as possible to understand for everyone, all of our lights have an explanation of exactly what they're great for. Lighting is unquestionably the MOST crucial factor of plant growth and health, so having a beautiful and effective light is critical to the success of your planted aquarium. As always, feel free to ask us if you're having trouble making a decision!
TECH LEVEL: 2
( 1- Grows basic plants, 3- Grows most plants with good color, 5- Grows anything with incredible color)
CONTROL: Simple Button (Requires a timer or smart plug)
TANK SIZE: Up to 24"
SPECTRUM: Ideal spectrum for low/med tech plants
POWER: 8/12/16/20/24W (Shockingly good for the price and beats out most Nicrew or Hygger lights)
NOTES: This light is our goto for a cheap, effective light for a planted tank. It features a strikingly good output and surprisingly good spectrum, resulting in great growth and color for any plants no matter if CO2 is present or not. It's thin, waterproof, bright, and cheap. What more is there to want? Well, other than a timer, which this unfortunately doesn't include, but we generally recommend hooking your lights up to smart plugs anyway. It makes them far easier to control and a smart plug is like $5.
