The hygger 26W 24/7 Lighting Aquarium LED Light is a full spectrum light for freshwater and planted tanks 30”-36” long. An 18W version is offered for smaller tanks. Both run hygger’s automatic 24/7 natural mode.
24/7 natural mode
Orange sunrise fades in from 6 am to about 8 am, white daylight runs to about 10:00pm/22:00, and blue moonlight follows until about 10:50pm/22:50. The light is off at other times. The schedule can be shifted earlier or later.
DIY mode
Set a 6, 10 or 12 hour timer, 5 brightness levels and a color: white, red, blue, green, purple, orange or cyan. The light ramps up and down over 15 minutes before reaching your chosen brightness. A cycle color option is also available.
Specs
- Power: 26W
- 130 LEDs: 63 white, 26 blue, 9 red, 6 green, 26 RGB
- CRI 85
- Extendable bending bracket
Build
Thickened aluminum improves heat dissipation, and the lamp beads are waterproof, so the light is easy to wipe clean. A separable adapter can be replaced without replacing the light. Power-off memory keeps your mode and settings after an outage.
Plants
The 26W output suits low to medium light plants in a standard 30 to 36 inch tank: crypts, swords, anubias, java fern, many stem plants and easier carpets. Shorten the photoperiod in new tanks to limit algae while plants establish.
Compare
The existing hygger 24/7 planted aquarium light is a related model sold for 24-30 inch tanks. For a simpler on-off bar at this size, see the AQUANEAT 30-38 inch light.
Who it suits
Planted tank keepers with 30 to 36 inch tanks who want a natural cycle without programming. hygger offers a 2 year warranty.
For tanks with demanding plants, two of these side by side give more even coverage than one.
The Bottom Line
A balanced planted tank light with a natural day cycle.
