  • You can't go wrong with these lights at their price!
Size: 36"- 42"
Our 450-gallon African Cichlid tank desperately needed some new lighting, but after researching the high-end lights on the market, their price points were just plain ridiculous!!! So I started looking for the best lights for the money. I found several reviews on YouTube and other sources about these Hygger 978 24/7 lights. Compared to the high-end lights, these seemed too good to be true, but I decided to give them a try, and I ordered 4 sets of the 36-42" lights for our big tank. (The first number is the length of the light itself, and the 2nd number is how far the stands will extend out to fit your tank) They seem well-built, and although the directions are a little different, they were not difficult to program. There are manual settings that allow you to set specific time periods for the lights to be on, and in whatever color you prefer, and they allow you to adjust the brightness settings as well, but I wanted to try the 24/7 program. That program is pre-set, with the lights coming on at 6:30 AM in a dim, all-orange tint, to simulate sunrise. That gradually brightens up and turns whiter as the day goes on until the tank is fully lit with bright, daylight lighting. In the evening, the lights start dimming and turning bluer in color to simulate sunset, and eventually, an all-blue moonlight. Then the lights go off at 10:30 pm. We've only had the lights for a few days now, but so far we are loving them! The tank has not looked this good in a LONG time. The lights are really bringing out the colors in our fish, and they seem to enjoy the light schedule as well, with some of them becoming much more visible throughout the day than they were with our old lights. So far, the lights have been flawless, but at their very affordable price point, even if they don't last more than a year, I would definitely buy them again as needed. I honestly do not think anyone could go wrong buying these lights for their tank(s). Are their colors as accurate as the $2700 high-end lights I looked at? Probably not, but honestly, unless you had them both set up on tanks, side by side, I doubt that you would really notice! I've been running aquariums continually for over 45 years, and I think these lights just might be the biggest bargain I've ever found! (If this new purchase opinion changes, I'll update this review as needed.) ... show more

  • Great light, 24h cycle is awesome!
Size: 30"- 36"
**Update 3: Putting this at the top - I'm at a little over 2 years with my 3 lights and they are all going strong. I love them, my plants grow great, and all my aquariums are doing great. These will be my go-to lights for any future builds.** I'm just getting my setup together, but I've been playing with this light for the last 2 days. I'll update this review with any issues once I get my tank setup and planted. The good: -Bright full spectrum light -Super slim -Lightweight -Stays VERY cool to the touch -24h mode is great, and unlike what I've read about the timer on some other Hygger products it does turn fully off. (I haven't tried the 6/10/12 hour timers yet as I don't plan on using them) The bad: -Directions are pretty confusing, especially when it comes to how the 24hr timers work -I don't love the slide-out legs for mounting, but they do the job -RGB Modes are neat, but probably useless to most -No memory if power is lost On the 24h mode. You can kind of see how it works in the video for the product, but here are some details/info. -The daylight cycle takes approximately 16.5 hours from start to finish. -Day light starts at a dim orange and slowly works up to full bright for the late morning through afternoonish, then starts winding down. -The last ~30mins are blue only LEDs that slowly fade out to off. The 24h button is probably the most confusing part of the directions. It has 8:00 / 10:00 / 12:00 / 15:00 / 18:00 / 22:00 settings. This is for setting where in the light cycle the current time of day is. As an example if I power up the light and want to start the 24h cycle, and its 10:00am I set it to the 10:00 button. If it was 3:00pm I would set it to 15:00, etc. Now the cycle will start at 6am and end at 22:30 (10:30pm). There is a little time math involved if you want to set a different start time, say 7:00 am instead of 6:00am. But this time schedule is perfect for my use. Overall I am very excited to get my setup complete and see how it looks with this light. **UPDATE** This light continues to be awesome! I've had it running for about 3 weeks and my plants are taking off! The "sunrise" is beautiful as well. My one and only complaint so far is that the plastic that covers the LEDs isn't secured in any way and will rattle occasionally from my wavemakers/filter. Should be an easy fix tho. **UPDATE 2** I'm rapidly approaching a year with this light and now have 3 sizes running on 3 different tanks. (10g, 29g tall, 40g breeder) All are working great still. The total light time is a little high (16.5 hours) but none of my tanks are out of control with algea growth. All of my plants are doing great! I'm planning a couple more aquariums this winter and will definitely buy this light for them. ... show more

  • Works Awesome For Me!
Size: 30"- 36"
I had no problems with timer set-up, light intensity, or performance. I found it easy to set-up my lighting preference, which is 10-hours on from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM. You simply select 10-hour mode and turn timer function on at 9:00 AM on day 1. Every day after, the light comes on gradually at 9:00 and gradually off at 7:00. You can chose any time frame you want. For my purpose of having rare and ornamental goldfish, the brightest intensity is far too bright. I run it at the third intensity setting which is perfect. If you have a reef or marine tank the highest intensity will surely suffice given my experience with a 200 gallon reef and marine tank. You can also chose various light color options such as all red, all green, all blue, etc. Personally I don't see the need for this, but the options are there if you chose. Some reviewers have complained about the clarity of instructions, but I found them to be clear and concise. The light has a low profile so the reflection from tank glass cover is minimal. The adjustability of length is easy and fits my 55-gallon 36-inch tank perfectly. So far, I have no complaints and find this to be one of the best LED tank lights I have used in the last 10 years. ... show more

  • Good Value, Entry Level Light
Size: 48"- 54"
Nice entry level light with various setting options. Currently using the 24/7 option. I like the simulation of a daily cycle. However, I would like the option of selecting the light intensity while on the 24/7 mode. The light is bright and the LEDs are sealed. The thin design has a nice look to it. For the money this is a good option. The photos reflect morning, noon, and night using the 24/7 mode. ... show more
