This light is the bomb, I’ve been using it for over a year now and it is the best light I’ve ever bought and a damn steal of a bargain! Even on a high tech setup I have to run it at half brightness, it is just that powerful. Beautiful color rendition too
Great review, I was very impressed with the PAR it's the only way to make a comparison. I too wanted a Twinstar but my tank is 800 mm (31.5"). Standard in Europe but not when lights are concerned. I checked Amazon they will send to the UK, Voltage compatible Yes. The last thing I looked at was the size only one model to 24" so I missed out again. I like the light clear of the tank. If you are aware of anything let me know.
you only need 40 par at subtrate for all the plants. too much par = much co2 and nutrient, if dont dosing fert or co2 enough that is a huge bloom of algea.
For the price, the quality of the light spectrum is rather decent. Lot's of the cheaper LEDs are far worse with a greyish/yellowish low CRI light. And it can put out some serious PAR!
Hi nice video, i have a question many of the on/off switches there are on lights, can not be compared with a timer, because you need to press on or off ? The light u have, can you set it to a timer ?
Did you use a timer on the ligjt does it come on to the same spot it wemt off at? Ive noticed alot of lights with touch on off butrons are glitchy like that.
Hey dude, I have a tank that is 13' deep and 19.5 length. Will this light reach carpet plants like monte carlo? Is this consider medium light for that depth?
Hi, I'm also wondering about the plant growth. Currently looking to buy new lighting and looking at a Twinstar 600E & 600S, but am willing to take a chance with this light if it performs well.
Dennis Binkhorst i plan on getting a twinstar soon. I do believe you will get a better quality light. But for just starting out and learning this light is more than enough.
I could only find this light by Pawfly in one size and only made for the 120v American electric grid with an American plug. Surely this is made in China and should be available with a Euro or UK plug.Look at Sunsun 500C as an option.
I use and Apogee Par Meter, Kinda Pricey But well worth it if you have multiple tanks. here is a link to the one i use. www.apogeeinstruments.com/mq-200-quantum-separate-sensor-with-handheld-meter/

Looking forward to your update. I am planning to buy that light too. Good Job

Great video i bought the same aquamaxx tank and stumbled across your video because I need a fixture to fit that size. Great review
This is the best light Under $35 FOR SURE!!!
They stopped making this light. I bought one, and it's so amazing I wish I had bought five more just in case.
This is a great alternative to the Twinstar Planted aquarium LED. amzn.to/2Ix7IfE

And it can put out some serious PAR!
You should do an update on this.
Thanks for the review. Wow, that light puts out a lot of par.
can you update us on your plant growth? and what are your approximate depth at which you are measuring your PAR?
Hi, what are the tank dimensions? Just to know at what dept is that PAR.
Wow great light
Hi nice video, i have a question many of the on/off switches there are on lights, can not be compared with a timer, because you need to press on or off ? The light u have, can you set it to a timer ?
Its $30 now
Updated video please
I know this video is old but how much par does the light produce when on lowest brightness
Did you use a timer on the ligjt does it come on to the same spot it wemt off at? Ive noticed alot of lights with touch on off butrons are glitchy like that.
Какие ра́змеры аквариума?. what are the dimensions of the tank?
Hey dude, I have a tank that is 13' deep and 19.5 length. Will this light reach carpet plants like monte carlo? Is this consider medium light for that depth?
Update pls?
What's the Kelvin temp??
Lumens and watts please.
Hows the light holding up now? Good growth?
Joon Park so far great growth! The dimming feature is the best.
Transpire Eco what size tank? What's the length of it? I have a 20 Long and wanna see if this would work
can you put this light on a timer or the power button needs to be pushed?
You can use a timer for this. It remembers the last setting you have. I have the same one

Dennis Binkhorst you can also try chihiros a series. Its damn bright and well dinmable! Cost for 50cm is about 30€
Were you able to grow a carpet using this?
Yes, the light is plenty bright enough. Co2 is key to a healthy carpet!
Update please!
can you get these in uk and do they do bigger sizes

I wish there was a bigger size
This is light, I want use high and low tech tank ? How do u think ?
you can adjust the intensity for high or low light for either type of tank. I had no problems growing carpet plants
Transpire Eco ok thx u very much bro, I buy. For size 50*35*35 I use
Hakan Cakir perfect tank size for the light. I would say for no longer than 24"/60cm
Transpire Eco 60*40*40 how ?
Transpire Eco your tank size what ?
Current update?
Update please.
Bought 2 off of Amazon and I gotta say it's amazing!
What kind of PAR meter is that? How much will it cost for that PAR meter?
I use and Apogee Par Meter, Kinda Pricey But well worth it if you have multiple tanks. here is a link to the one i use. www.apogeeinstruments.com/mq-200-quantum-separate-sensor-with-handheld-meter/
how many lumens does he have?
So is that sufficient for high demanding plants like dwarf baby tears?
The music sucks.
