Review: One of the best light out there for the money! - Bought this light a couple weeks ago and it has been working like a charm! Love the customization that can be done and the set and forget peace of mind. Remote seems to be of good quality and the light is thin but sturdy and will look good on any tank! Best though if its on a covered tank according to the other reviews i have read prior to buying. If i should encounter any issues, i will update. So far though im happy to say ots the best light i have had, and would recommend to anyone looking for a way to make their tank stand out! Plants are showing good growth, and no algae present so far. But even algae can be fixed with settings and light intensity. Colors really stand out with this light, my fish look brighter, the castle i have in there looks like the details stand out more as well. With my previous light ( simple white led and blue option one) my tank disnt look as good. UPDATE 4-1-22 I did end up having a small issue with one side of my light because it did get some moisture on it from air bubbles popping at surface. Some of the led lights stopped working. I gave that light to my dad who is still using it and loves it. I bought the other model (not as thin) and covered tank so light has no moisture. This happened several years after purchase and I still say its the best one I have owned!
Review: Best live plant LED fixture on the market - I cannot stress enough how much we love these light fixtures. Metal, sleek, discreet, bright, highly programmable, reliable, and durable are a few of the many adjectives I would use to describe these lights. We use these fixtures on all of our freshwater live planted tanks as well as order them for our clients when getting them set up with new equipment. Below I will highlight some key pros about these lights (note: there are no cons) Pros: The Lighting - These lights are bright at their highest setting, and plenty strong enough to reach the lowest parts of most tanks (no PAR values though, sorry!). With the customization built into the remote and 24/7 functionality, they can be set to an incredibly wide range of color wavelengths as well as intensities to suit your tanks needs. This makes it very easy to make adjustments to combat algae growth over time. The 24/7 Function and Remote: - Simple to set up, reliable lighting. With other lights, I have had issues with their timer settings using the small boxes integrated to the cord. In power outages, those ones will reset and not turn back on until you manually do so and will need to reset the timer. That is not the case here. Using the remote, you can set the lighting intensity and colors with the touch of a button for every 3 hours, which will then slowly transition to each set value throughout the day. When power goes out, the settings are saved and the lights will pick up where they left off. All you need to do is set the current time, since the light will think it is still the time of the power outage. Its simple and amazingly reliable. The Quality: - Made from high quality aluminum, these fixtures are durable, sleek looking, and lightweight. While they are not made to be hanged from the wall or ceiling, their lightweight nature and slim design make it easy to fashion up a simple mounting system without fear of it falling due to weight. These lights are made to last, and Finnex has been a fantastic brand for years. With so many other brands popping up (the ones with the odd "desertcart Names"), you need to know that these guys are the real deal. I have used their fixtures on all of my personal tanks for over 15 years now, and some of my original fixtures still work to this day, albeit slightly dimmer than they were out of the box. I know every time I buy one of these lights that it will work out of the box, is easy to set up and program, and will work for many years to come. Discovering Finnex when I did has led to incredible success keeping live plants. If that wasn't enough to sell you on this light fixture, then please see the below final thought: BUY THIS LIGHT RIGHT NOW, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What are the PAR ratings for this?**
A: Finnex's webpage has a chart that shows the PAR rating for each of their models.  Note that the ratings are for the 48-inch model and were taken at 14 inches through open air.  It doesn't say whether these ratings are maximum or average (a distinction I saw on another manufacturer's models).

**Q: I'm usually only home at later hours toward the evening. Will this be bright enough for me to enjoy my fish at night? I'm worried it will be too dark.**
A: You can customize lighting from bright-full-on to completely dark for eight different 3-hour time blocks.
So, if you work the late shift, you can set your light to come on at 6PM or 9PM and go off or go dim at midnight (12AM) or 3AM - totally customizable.  I love that I can bring the lights on dim first 3 hours, then lighter, then full on, then dimmer, then off so I don't startle my fish, LOL. I also like that you can adjust the number of white, red, green and blue led bulbs that come on, so you can have a reddish, bluish, or greenish hue to the lighting at beginning or end of your day, then full brightness for two 3-hour periods (6 hours total for live plants).

**Q: Q: My tank is 31,5" Will the 30” work?**
A: yes the brackets extend out past the light like 2" on each side

**Q: does the 24/7 cycle put out enough light to grow some low/medium light plants well? I have a 29G that is 18.5" tall tank.**
A: Yes.  You may actually need to decrease the intensity.  I have a 29g as well and I have it on for 6 hours at lowered intensity.  Plants are doing well and I'm not getting algae.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value
*by R***N on June 22, 2026*

This is the coolest aquarium light I have personally seen. You can dial it in to exactly how you want it, or use the really cool 24/7 feature that runs a life-like cycle from darkness, through sunrise, daylight, sunset, and darkness again. Also has some other neat features like thunderstorm and cloudy skies. Comes with a remote, only downside is not app compatible. But im ecstatic about this light and value. Highly recommend for planted aquariums.
