What owners say
Great light for my 20-gallon tank
This light was easy to mount and gave my aquarium a much brighter, cleaner look. My fish colors pop, and my low-light plants are doing well.
Good for beginner planted tanks
I like the even spread and slim design. It works well on my freshwater tank, though I would want something stronger for very demanding plants.
Solid budget option
For the price, this is a very useful aquarium light. It is not the most powerful fixture, but it does the job for a simple community tank.
