Just as expected
It's a nice little light for the price. I preferred this over the expensive LED strips they sell at pet stores. I used it in my 20 gal tank. I'm debating on whether or not i need another one because i have it on one side of the tank as an addition to the standard UV light. It is a bright light, but for anything bigger than 20 gal, i would recommend 2, especially if you plan on using it as the only source of light. It camouflages well inside the tank. I love that it has a switch.

Blue Strip is only 50% blue LEDs
Warning: The Blue lights are only 50% blue, the other half of the LED chips in the blue strip are white. When I contacted the seller to ask if they had a solid blue strip, they gave me my money back without answering the question.My initial impression is that these lights are well made. The potting material covering the LED's is very clear and well done, with no bubbles or voids. I've only run them for 30 minutes, but they get much less hot than the other LED's I used to have in my tank. The white LED's are the 5050 style, so 5.0 mm x 5.0 mm and are very bright.The blue LEDs are also in a 5050 package, but you can see there are just 3 small LED chips inside the 5050. I'm not sure if that's enough to stimulate my coral to grow. I'll update my review in a couple months with the results.Summary, I'm happy with my purchase, just wish it was solid blue LEDs.

Great light and easily able to attach to hood
I am using this with a stock light already mounted under my aquarium hood. This one connects to my stock light so I can still use just one plug adapter. It has a hole on both ends allowing it to be screwed into wherever you need it.I came with a plug so you can use it out of the box. If you buy 2 or more they can be connected. It puts of a decent about of light. I wouldn't characterize it as a high output, but for a low tech tank needing more light this works great.

Working perfectly
I got three of theses to put under my glass shelves in my China cabinet because I keep for Beta lined up across the bottom it's working perfectly ! I even lay a heating pad on the shelf above them and turn it on lowish with auto shut off after two hours to keep that area warm if needed that way no heaters in each! I love it ! I'm a Sucker to rescue a Betta they are kept in such horrible conditions at Petco I have 7 ugh

Perfect little light for smaller fish tank
Had this for a while now & was able to verify it would last. I wouldn't say it's super bright, but it works perfectly for a smaller tank. I'm using it for the red & blue colors as night lighting to see nocturnal fish, for which it works very well. I did have it on for a time in a planted tank and my amazon sword didn't die it that counts for anything :-)

Long light strip, and worth it.
I bought this because the light my tank came with stopped working! This one is bright and does the job well. I have a 5 gallon tank for my betta and a shrimp. My gripe is how long the actual light is! Lol. Of course it's my own fault for not measuring properly, so I won't deduct stars for my own error. But I've made it work and I'm content. You have to place it at the top of the tank to get the best results, so bear that in mind when making the decision to buy this one.Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase.

Looks very cool!
This blue light looks really cool in my aquarium! It is so bright that it lightens up my 75 gallon tank pretty well. I much prefer this over the old-style aquarium lights that sits on top. This light is submersible and has suction cups so you can place wherever you want.
