SEAOURA Clip On Aquarium Light for Plants-24/7 Cycle Fish Tank Light with Timer, Full Spectrum+7 Colors Mode, Auto On/Off, Adjustable Brightness and Height, 20W (12inch for 12-20 inch Tank)

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.

Really nice (high quality) light for a smaller tank or in pairs for a lagoon setup. I like the programmability of light level brightness, time sequence, etc.. * ya gotta play with it for a minute to figure out the setup but it’s easy. The mount is for a rimless tank. It works well.. clean design.

This is a nice bright aquarium light with a 24/7 cycle. The only thing I wish you could do was to set the light head further back for nano tanks. But really nice light and easy to setup.

This is a decent aquarium light with various settings and options that I appreciate. However, I find that the mount takes up quite a bit of space on my aquarium, which I hadn't anticipated. I wish the mount had a lower profile. If space isn't a concern for you, then this light is perfect.

I'm using two of these for my 35 gallon cube because it is so awkward for lighting and it seems to work well! I wish they penetrated deeper with their light, but I have a LOT of surface plants likely causing that issue. I love the colors for sunrise and sunset. They are a bit unrealistic if you are into realism, but I love the fantastical, saturated nature of them more than simple dimming. I will say I still don't completely understand how to set the timers, but they are working well enough so I just let them go!

Absolutely beautiful spectrum, solid construction, sturdy mount. Many programming options. I won’t take a whole star off for the confusing programming, it’s probably partly just me not getting it. But it could be easier, or at least better instructions. Can’t speak to durability as it’s only the first day, but I suspect this light is high quality and I fully expect it to last.

Awesome value! Great light , very bright and the description of this product is very accurate. I’ve had this light for about a year and still working nicely. Definitely recommend

What's not to like? Multiple settings. Multiple brightness levels. Multiple color combinations. Multiple timer options. Perfect for planted aquariums It doesn't have a true remote control (detached from the unit), but that doesn't detract from the power, cost or functionality of the light. I've used it everyday for well over a year and it's still going strong. Even the lowest light setting is BRIGHT! I was concerned that it wouldn't correctly attach to my 20 gallon, but it comes with an adjustable mounting bracket, so it fits nearly any aquarium. Very durable. And the price was perfect. I would definitely recommend!

Light just arrived so I’ll do a first day review. May come back and update if the light doesn’t work as it should. On first glance, the light is kind of bulky, not going to lie. As a light made for tanks that are of smaller size, I didn’t expect such a huge bracket. Bracket does work well and holds as it should. Light is easy to put into different positions as well. The installed the bracket backwards to avoid having all the bulk on the inside of my tank since I am building a custom lid. I have this light installed on a 5g Topfin Shrimp and Plant Oasis, for size comparison. So far, the controls are easy to navigate. I will probably use the timer, as I’m not sure I want 12hours of light in my aquarium. Will update once I find a sweet spot for my plants. Overall, I have purchased 5 lights from two other comparable brands, and this one is the highest wattage for a small clip on light. I wish there was an option to set different times like my Nicrew light but it is much more customizable than the comparative low watt Hygger I am replacing this with. For the low price, I think this is the best nano light you can buy without spending $100.

The light is very bright, with several options: Sunrise/Sunset (brightness not adjustable), Different colors and Brightness levels, Timer setting with gradually increase/decrease brightness. The programming is a little tricky. In case of power failure, you need to set the time. The mounting can be adjusted up/down and left /right. Very good overall.

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.

SEAOURA makes the best lights! I use them on many of my tanks. Affordable and just as good as the more expensive brands.

haven’t had a problem with this light works great
