Red Heart LED String Light, 10ft 40 LEDs Twinkle Fairy Lights Battery Operated with Remote and Timer for Valentine's Day White

Purchased for 5 gallon aquarium that had tiny attached LED that couldn't cover the entire tank once plants got bigger. I ordered the 11" length, which is just right to fit inside the lid (the underside). It hangs in the water when the water level is to the top, and since the light can be used in OR out of water, I don't have to worry about evap exposing the fixture to open air, I really like that feature! The fixture isn't even visible to the viewer, and the 2 suction cups hold securely. It gives off just the right amount of light, not too bright, but enough to reach all the corners of the tank and give adequate light to the plants (low to medium light plants). The only thing I don't like is the location of the on/off switch. It is on the end of the cord that plugs into the electrical outlet, which is opposite of where the switch is on every other portable aquarium light I have. I didn't even think of this when I looked at the pictures and the two-piece cord arrangement this light has. If the switch is on the other end of the cord, near the light fixture, it's easy to access and turn on and off. The set up of this 5 gallon tank requires me to use an electrical strip for the accessories, which sits on a stool under the tank stand. With the switch on the plug/outlet end, you can imagine how unhandy that is. I suppose I'll buy a timer so it can turn itself on and off, which will add to the cost, something I didn't want to do with this little aquarium. It is for that reason that I have docked the review one star.

This is the most amazing fish tank light I’ve ever bought!!! I got the 11 inch white for my 10 gallon top fin aquarium. The original light in my aquarium lid died pretty quick and the “multi light” glo light LED bar that was recommended to me lasted a little while but it crapped out too and was way more expensive than this light. Now, this light is THE BEST light I’ve bought, it’s brighter than all the others I’ve had, I love that I can stick it any where, and it’s very sleek looking and doesn’t look invasive in the tank if you do get a glimpse of it but with the suction cups and submersible aspect that’s not been an issue cause I can stick it anywhere!!!!! The only problem I have with this light (which is 100% my fault) is that it’s not as long as I was hoping it would be compared to the tank, but that is my fault cause I just guessed what size I needed instead of measuring and the only reason I even mention that is to say if you have a top fin 10 gallon tank or I guess any “standard” 10 gal, then a 15 inch light would also fit, and this light also comes in that size!!!

We put dividers in the tank so we could put 3 bettas in the same tank, and of course, this bar light wouldn't work inside after that. So we ended up using the suction cups to put this on the outside (front) of the tank and shine it in. This also had the added benefit of not having the light shine in our eyes from out of the tank (it's on our TV stand under the TV set, so it's always in our line of sight). The only thing we're not real happy with is that one of the suction cups doesn't want to hang on real well, so I'm constantly adjusting it and reattaching it. It never completely lets go, the light stays horizontal on the tank, it just starts slipping down a little on one side.

I am not an aquarium pro, don't have much interest in all the super fancy plants or aquarium setups. When I bought this light I was mostly looking for an easy replacement for the light that came built into the aquarium hood that I misplaced several years ago. I decided to add a couple live plants to my aquarium because it was winter and I missed the plants in my outdoor garden, and because I liked the idea of a natural fish environment. I started with water wisteria and Amazon swords. The wisteria grew so quickly that I was able to snip the tops off creating new plants multiple times within a couple months. My plants have now grown so much that I'm planning to upgrade the tank soon.

The light is very bright and illuminates the tank very well, thus fulfilling it's purpose. It is competently water prof but the suction cups leave ugly pucker marks on the glass which are very conspicuous. Simply getting a clear lid and setting it on top though will work very well.

I pulled the hood for my 10 gallon tank from my garage after a couple of years. I found that the light in the hoid had completely rusted out. I bought this light strip to replace it. I was able to take old light out and stick this one in it's place. I used the suction cups to attach the light to the shiny metal pads in the roof of the hood and voila. It's working well right now.

Perfect lights. I left them on their timer through Jan. and Feb. So cute and the timer is great!

This worked great for my fish tank. My lights went out in the tank lid and I have the tall tank. Took the broken lights out and installed this one. Works great and saved me 70 bucks not having to by a brand new lid with lights that would not last.
