SEAOURA Clip On Aquarium Light for Plants-24/7 Fish Tank Light, 7-12 Inch

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 has been a great little light and my aquatic plants grow well with it. It is sturdy and has a good spectrum so it's good for both the plants and the fish look good. I do wish that it could swivel up out of the way for when I am cleaning in my tank and that the controller was a little more responsive. But otherwise it does what I need it to do and looks good doing it.

Great light for my small fish tank! The way the brackets just slide to adjust to fit are very convenient and easy to use. The colors and brightnesses are awesome and it’s nice that I can separately adjust them. It seems very stable on the top of my tank. I personally did not need to mount it. would purchase again!

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!

I give this light 4 stars. If there was one thing I would change is to make it have an actual clock timer in it and then pick your modes of 10 hours or the 24/7 mode. For the 24/7 mode you can adjust time and it will cycle off thatand if power goes out very easy to set that mode up again. For the 10 hour mode though if you want that setting you have to wait till it that time in the actual day and then start the 10 hour cycle. I personally use 10 hour cycle on my tanks and if there is a power outage I will have to manually have to wait till its whatever time in the day I want to start the 10 hour mode and set it then. I have lights on other aquariums where the time is separate from the mode. Other than that it works and plants are thriving. I also like the stand attachment for it and its adjustability. Excellent height option and ability to move it and adjust sideways for the ability to grow external plants.
