Aquarium Light Review After being away from the aquarium hobby for 25 years, I’ve been surprised by just how much things have changed. Gone are the days of bulky aquarium hoods with fluorescent tubes. Today’s lighting options are much more streamlined, and this light is a great example of how far aquarium equipment has come. I’m getting back into the hobby with four 33-gallon long tanks, each measuring 48" x 12" x 13". Because of the length of these tanks, I ordered the 48–54 inch version of this light. My first impression was very positive. I was pleasantly surprised by the overall quality and especially by how incredibly low-profile the fixture is. It doesn’t have the bulky appearance of older aquarium lighting, and once it’s mounted on the tank, it has a very clean and unobtrusive look. The fixture also feels solid and well made, rather than lightweight or flimsy. Another thing I really like is the way the light is directed. It shines straight down into the aquarium rather than throwing a lot of light outward, which helps put the available light where it’s actually needed. For my 33-gallon long tank, it appears to provide plenty of brightness and gives the aquarium a nice, evenly illuminated appearance. The controller is also fairly straightforward and doesn’t seem unnecessarily complicated. One feature I particularly like is that when the light is powered on, it gradually ramps up instead of coming on at full brightness immediately. This creates a sunrise-like effect, which is a nice feature and should make for a more natural-looking transition for the fish. I’ll probably end up plugging the light into a smart outlet and using an app on my phone to control the lighting schedule. That will allow me to automate the on/off times without having to manually operate the light every day. Obviously, I’ve only had the light for a short time, so I can’t comment yet on its long-term durability or how well it will hold up after months or years of use. However, based on the initial fit, finish, construction, brightness, and low-profile design, I’m impressed with it so far. For the price, this appears to be a very good value. If you’re looking for a simple, low-profile light for a longer aquarium and don’t need an overly complicated lighting system, this one is definitely worth considering. So far, I’m very pleased with my purchase and will be interested to see how it performs over the long term.

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.)

hygger HG-978 Operating Instructions ("translated") I love this product. I got a smaller version for my 10G tank a year ago, and used that on my 20G"tall" tank as well. This larger one does more, and that's great! You have options. The bad news is, the instructions are somewhat difficult to understand. Like many things made in different parts of the world, sometimes the English instructions need some study to figure out what they really mean. It happens, and doesn't make it any less of a great product, IMO. So, after some study and experimentation, I was able to condense the basics of this light. There are three ways to use it. The first is to simply turn it on, select a color (it has a bunch), set the intensity level, and turn it off when you want to. Basically a "manual" light. One feature here... you can select a "Color Changing Loop" when you pick a color, and it will cycle through all the colors like one of those old Christmas tree back lights , if you remember those... Anyway... The second way to use it is to set a Timer. This light has a 6, 10, or 12 hour Timer setting. It will be "ON" for the selected amount of time from the time you set the Timer. There will be a 15-minute ramp up and ramp down in intensity at the beginning and end of the time selected. So, you select the color, the intensity, and the amount of "ON" time you want, starting NOW, and there it is. Using the light this way, I'd use a 12-hour cycle @ 75% intensity and shutting down about an hour or two after sunset, so I'd have to set the timer around 9AM this time of year to do that, and fiddle with it a few times a year to account for day length. Finally, there is a 24/7 preprogrammed setting. You have no control over the color or intensity or anything else other than figuring out the instructions! The instructions have to do with time. With this automatic setting, the goal is to have it finish at 22:30 or 10:30PM, according to the manual. Now, you only need to do this once... but what you need to do is look at the clock on the wall NOW, and select the starting point either closest to what your local time is right now, or one to "fool" the system into finishing earlier or later than 10:30. The time selections are 0800, 1000, 1200, 1500(3PM), 1800(6PM), and 2200(10PM). The idea is that if you are setting this light up and it's around noon, select the 1200 setting and it will now cycle without any further input. Off and into the night light at 10:30, and beginning the dawn routine at 8AM. That's it! I set mine at 0700 and selected the 8AM setting. The lights are running in night mode at 9:30PM rather than 10:30PM. So, you can offset or "fool" the system to shift the cycle around the clock a bit. A couple of things about this setting... It seems to never get brighter when you first set it up. VERY SLOW ramp-up and down. It actually takes an hour or so to ramp up to 100% intensity. Nice, really... but I thought it wasn't doing anything at first. And the same to ramp down. The only issue I may have with this setting is if I get too much green algae. That's my sign in my planted aquarium that there's too much light. There's no control on this setting other than time-shifting. I'd like to be able to set an upper limit on intensity. So, depending on my needs for the plants and balancing the algae issue, I may end up using the timer versus the 24/7 setting. That jury is still out. Excellent product! Now, if only someone made one exactly like this one only with a USB port and completely programmable! ::hint! hint!:: *********** After a week or so of using this light, I've settled on the timer function as my default. I set the timer to start at 9AM and go to 9PM. Because I am always up long before 9AM, the timer mode allows me to turn on the light earlier without disturbing the OFF time of 9PM. Also, before 9PM, I can step down the light so that when I turn it on at 7AM or whatever, it's pretty dim, and then I can go from there until feeding time an hour after lights on. More manual, but I'm a control freak, which I think you have to be a bit to keep fishy friends.

I upgraded to this light from two smaller smaller Hyggers and I love/hate it. It puts out great light and makes my tank look stunning. The sunrise is a lovely orange color and sunset transitions into deep blue. I have chili rasboras which continually spawn in dawn hours, thus I wanted to try this light to mimic a more natural cycle. The only issue I have is with the day/night cycle on the timer. In other models you can set a sunrise and sunset schedule regardless of the time on the light itself. You can't with this model. You set the light by pushing the button at the appropriate time according to you, then the day/night cycle is tied to that precise hour you set. The daylight hours are well over 8 hours long and you can't change the length of white light into blue light. Orange dawn starts around 7am and is over by 9am. It's currently 9:40pm and the light is still mostly white with very slight blue. Night time lasts only an hour before the light shuts off. These long daylight hours have given me a hair/thread algea bloom. I'm debating if I want to get an amano shrimp to clean up or just switch back to my old lights.

Not a perfect light but very good, especially for the price. Appreciate the build quality, timer functionality, brightness, adjustability, dawn vs. full spectrum vs. dusk/moonlight, and how fish look under the light. Wish there was a 10-hour timer and that there were more programmable options during the timers, but can’t complain too much given everything else.

**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.

I just got it and loving it so far. I like that it has a clock setting for 8am, 10, 12, 15, 18, and 22. How that works is if you set them at those hours on the clock, they’ll turn on again at 6am the next day (e.i. If you set 10hr, at 10am, it will turn back on at 6am the next day. If you set 10hr at 9am, it will turn on at 5am the next day.). It also comes with 6, 10, and 12hr timer although I wish there is an 8 hour timer. You can dim the lights but you adjust the dim on any timer or time setter. But the brightest setting is the right brightness for me. I bought this to replace my more expensive hygger model with time setting and screen (my cat sat on it and it crashed into the tank). This is also way more affordable and I wish I had this one first.

I purchased the 48-54 inch model and it fits perfectly over a 55-gallon long tank, a common standard the aquarium industry. I highly recommend this, especially if you are currently using the legacy fluorescent bulbs over the top of your aquarium now. With full-spectrum LED lighting, the colors in my tank now appears much more vibrant over the previous fluorescent setup I employed previously. I use the 24/7 lighting option, which manages the lighting from dim and red light at the crack of dawn, until the light becomes brighter and more vibrant until the peak brightness of midday. Then, late in the afternoon the lighting ramps back down again until post-sunset, when the light becomes blue for an hour or two before switching off again at night. This really is nice and wasn't possible in a single lighting system until full-spectrum LEDs became the standard. This product isn't perfect. The lack of custom time setting options, a digital clock or color wheel found in some of the more expensive LED products make the configuration options somewhat more limited, non-intuitive and difficult, without the use of the instruction manual. Still, I think there is tremendous value here for the money, especially if you're looking to dip your toes into the LED lighting world for your aquarium. I love it and won't go back.
