Amazon Customer: First I want to say I didn't read the reviews before hand like I usually do. I ordered this light and was very excited to receive it. I received the tank light quickly after ordering, I open the box and start setting up the new tank light. I get it plugged in and it won't turn on. So I started a return and resend a new one. I received the new light 4 days later. Super quick shipping. I get this new light plugged in and it's beautiful. Highly recommend. All the different settings and colors that you can customize is awesome. I love the 4 different weather options. I can't say how much I highly recommend this light. The company was fast shipping and quick to fix the issue with the first one.

Jeffrey C: I was excited to get this. because with the lockdown, I would not be home. but sheltering away. With only plants and my otos in there (with plenty of algae to eat), I was happy for the. 24-hr feature. Fast-forward to September having been back for 3 months, my remote died and was stuck on the that 24-hr cycle, as I like to adjust the lights. myself when home. With limited options manually on the fixture, I had to use it. Only issue was the light never goes black and I really don't need a fishtanks as nightlight, nor do the plants.
I reached out to Nicrew and explained the issue and that I even tried new batteries. Could they please send me a new remote. Unfortunately, this model was phased out. with an undate, so they no longer had remotes programmed for my light. happily, my. warranty. was still good and got a new one with a new remote. Besides upgraded. LEDs in the new model, the 24-hr cycle now also includes a 6-hr blackout period. So much better! Nicrews customer service is the tops.

Iora Rua: The old light was giving up, so when I came across this light, I gave it a try. I have a hexagonal tall aquarium and this sits right on top nicely. The remote works well, but I only used it to turn the light on and to set it and forget it. The family really likes the 24 hour setting to watch the different stages of lighting. I hope the fish like that they aren't living in an off and on environment anymore. Before it was white light during the day, if I remembered to turn the light on, and blue light at night. I hope it lasts a long while, but at the price point and the different light options, it won't break the bak to replace.

Beaulieu: This Nicrew feel really cheap. Mine was dirty with a lot of dust in and outside. I had to unscrew one side to clean the dust inside and on the transparent plastic. I currently have 42 LED at 8000K on my tank top cover. From my eye perspective, both seems to have the same intensity. All my Ludwigia repens lower part always melt and died because of lack of light. Since this Nicrew RGB is not brighter, compare to my default one. I think my problem of medium plants wont be fixed. I don’t think I’ll keep it. I realize that all the features was cool at first when you read but in reality, you do not need those. The remote is ease of use. Stay simple and keep using your wifi timer.

Rolan OrdwayRolan Ordway: Edit: After 6 weeks the light stopped working. I contacted support and they asked that i send a video of the light not working. There was condensation that formed inside the light and because there was “water” inside the light they said it was not covered under the warranty and thus they would not replace it. So, my first one was DOA, my second one died after 6 weeks and is not covered under the warranty because of condensation. It’s an aquarium light. So, 1 Star for poor product design, poor quality, and poor customer service.
The first one I ordered was dead on arrival and would not turn on. I ordered another on and it took about five days to get another one. Packaging was fine. Overall it’s a decent light for the price but some thoughts to consider:
The instructions are not very helpful so figuring out how to get the 24 hour feature was some trial and error but basically I just pressed the 24 hour button then the button that was closest to the current time. The light should automatically set to that time frame and will cycle through the light cycles from there. The light cycles are really nice and give the tank a really cool ambiance, especially at night....

GabrielGabriel: This LED is slick and looks amazing. It’s pretty expensive but the build quality seems decent. It has a 24/7 mode which the light would mimic outdoor natural lighting outside. You can also should from 4 types of pre- set lighting effects or customize your own brightness and colour combinations into 4 memory slots.
I was disappointed about it not able to be fully customized in terms of scheduling. The 24/7 mode turns off the light at midnight and comes back on at 6am.
I appreciates that it is completely silent and heating hasn’t seem to be an issue however I’ve only had them up for 3 days.
Will update later

CK: The media could not be loaded. My roommate and I are setting up a new aquarium in the living room because I had this empty aquarium sitting outside that I got from an old friend. My roommate brought it up that why don't we use it and I thought why not, with the pandemic that's going on this would be a good hobby to get into. I have a couple of fancy goldfish in a 29 gallon in my room already and had fish in the past so I say I have some knowledge to fish keeping whereas my roommate is new to the hobby, which means I'll get to teach her. We'll be going with a couple more fancy goldfish as I absolutely love them and my roomie fell in love at the sight of the panda moore when I showed her some goldfish varieties.
Now, onto the light. I was looking for an LED light instead of a fluorescent light for energy savings and that some of the LED lights made nowadays are on par or above fluorescent bulbs. I was hooked on the fact that there was a remote and the 24/7 hour feature. I liked this so much that I replaced the light on my bedroom aquarium with a 24/7 hour light. Unfortunately, it was not by NICREW but some other brand on Amazon that had a 24/7 hour remote. Quickly...

QcCustom.: Seller suggest this :
1. To avoid excessive algae growth, limit the lighting time of your aquarium 8 to 10 hours per day;
Product doesnt have a timer other than the 24/7 which is 18h of light of different types...
I wanted to add their cool 1 channel timer but they advised against it and i still dont know why...
I desire just that : 8-10 hours on with a gradual on-off sequence..
Dont get me wrong i can use the remote to turn it on/off when i want but thats silly since i might not be home all the time when it reached 10hours on.. The timer seemed a promessing product now i dont know what to do.

Lance Hardwood: I switch from Nicrew Classic to this and so far so good.
I don't have plants in my aquarium so I can't tell if this light is good for planted aquarium.
The remote is a bit tricky and the receiver is not perfect.
I ordered the 36" to 48" and my tank size is 48" length. The light bar extenders can't support the weight of light if I stretch it to 48". Good thing that my tank has canopy, that I can just place the Led Light on top of the canopy. My problem will be on summer time when I never use the aquarium canopy.
But the best thing I like about is the 24/7 mode which mimic the day to night light.
