NICREW ClassicLED Gen 2 Aquarium Light, 25 Watts, Dimmable LED Fish Tank Light with 2-Channel Control, White and Blue LEDs, Size 30 to 36 Inch

I'm about 2 years into being an Aquarist and received a 30 gal tank and supplies from a neighbor who hadn't used it in many years. It had one of those traditional black plastic hoods with bulged section for the fluorescent tube light. It was fine, I was just starting out and it didn't cost me much to start the hobby. I enjoyed it except the one annoyance of not being able to use a timer with a fluorescent light. So having to turn on/off all the time and sometimes being out my fish spent some time in the dark until I came home to put the light on.So my search began recently after seeing so may nice online pictures of pristine aquariums beautifully lit. I first searched for complete LED hood sets to replace what I had, but all seemed cheap with mixed reviews. Then started seeing these light bars for tanks and wondered how those work with hoods. Then progressed my search onto glass tops that fold and this light bar sit over one section. Not bad I thought. Ordered this light and glass top only to find the glass top is like a 1/16th too wide to sit inside the tank opening on the ledge. Damn!Then remembered my old tank hood actually separates from the Fluorescent light part and reveals a glass window. Well this light bar fits right over that perfectly and rests on the edge of tank with it's extendable support bars.WHAT A MAJOR TRANSFORMATION!!! It's like a new aquarium and I am newly enjoying the aquarium. Get rid of your fluorescents if you still have them! Wonderful brightness with blue mood settings, mix of white/blue, just white and dimmable as it says. So nice.So what about my timer dilemma? It has a 8, 10 and 12hr setting. So I set it one day expecting it to go off on its own. It does. But viola! It also comes back on again at the same time next day you turn it on prior day! So a complete timer all by itself now comes on at 11am and goes off by itself at 11pm, with no other plug-in timer needed.Want more?? Well how about this! It is fish friendly for those slow morning risers and nocturnal type fish, cause it comes on dim first then brightens to max on its own. Opposite at night with it going dim to blue for a while before shutting off. TOTALLY AWESOME!! LOVE IT!! and Highly recommend this product.Looks like good quality to me and longevity I can't say at this time. But I am super happy I bought this product!!Well designed and thought out. Has re-energized by aquarist hobby mood!

AWESOME! Very bright. The white and blue lights are separately controllable, resulting in the ability to get the perfect light temperature you need. I purchased the 12" light for a 15" cube aquarium, and the light is perfect! I'll try to update once I've had it running longer to see how well the timer maintains its schedule over time. Almost all of these lights use an elementary timing circuit that drifts from "real time" after a few weeks.

Excellent product 👌🏽

good strong light. Has very long cables works on almost any aquarium or glass tank you have. The rods they give you that go into the light are easy to put in and easy to change the size of. The design is nice and it’s easy to move around. I’m not sure of the durability since it hasn’t gone through much yet but after a couple of water splashes it’s been alrightI feel like the only problem i’ll ever have with this is the fact that it really doesn’t come with an off switch there’s a night mode and a day mode but it can never really be turned off unless you pull the plug. It lights up everything though and it looks nice worth the money for sure

I loved this thing. It has different brightness settings and is very versatile. I like the design and it comes with a remote control which is pretty cool. It is adjustable, so it can fit just about any tank. Just don’t drop it in the tank accidentally like I did or it will die on you sadly not waterproof. It was very sturdy though otherwise and lasted great until the catastrophe. Let’s just say it was a user error🤣

Great lights..but they literally last only a year..this is the 3rd set I've bought.

The lights worked out for me as intended

I ordered this light, and received the ClassicLED PLUS 36 light instead. They are similar, but the function I was excited about with this light is absent from the light I received, so that's disappointing. The light I ordered (the one for which this review appears) allows for adjusting the blue and white, the light I received does not have that function. The light I received is fine, and programming it is easy, but I'm not completely satisfied with it, even if I had received what I actually ordered. The settings include the option to have a ramp-up and ramp-down when turning on and off, with the option of having the ramp spread out over either 15 minutes or 30 minutes. I absolutely LOVE watching the dynamic appearance of the sunrise/sunset but it ramps completely over only 10 minutes, regardless of what I choose. It seems like a small thing but to me it's not. I really want to relax in front of the tank with the rise and fall over the 30 minutes that the light is supposed to offer. Now, I don't know if THIS light that I paid for and DID NOT receive has that feature, but overall I'm not happy with the fact that I ordered a product, and received a cheaper product than I anticipated. Not great. If I had ordered the product I received it may have gotten 3 stars, but this gets 1 star because I don't love the light I got and I've lost a few dollars in receiving a cheaper product than what I actually paid for.
