Question 1

Will this plug into my loop system currant light?

Accepted Answer

If you're looking for compatibility, check the current-usa website. This light is not listed as one of the compatible LED lights in their ramp timer section: https://current-usa.com/aquarium-ramp-timers/  So no, it's not officially compatible.

The ClassicLED Plus light doesn't give direct control to the LEDs so direct color control is not possible without some bridging and soldering. Color control isn't possible either. Dimming would also take a good amount of electronics work.

On/Off and night time modes are the only ones possible out of the box. Compared to the $190 USD for the Current-USA model, this one is worth the price so far.

Nicrew does offer a Single Channel Timer that would allow for a ramp up and ramp down so you can simulate sunrise and sunset. It doesn't allow for color control or automatic night mode like the Current-USA models.

Question 2

is it dimmable?

Accepted Answer

The current iteration of this light is definitely dimmable. It is not necessary to purchase a separate in line dimmer.  Dimming can be controlled at 5% intervals between 0 and 100% for both the blue light and white light channels.

Question 4

Would the 8w or 15w be best for planted 10g?

Accepted Answer

I have the 8w strip in a 5 gal. planted tank that is 14” tall.  Only the low light plants are showing active growth when there are no other plants shading them from the light.  That works for me… But it depends on what your aquarium.  The combination of colors in the light does make the aquarium looks great!
