HG005-12W

Purchased a pair of these 19.2" (12W) lightbars in July 2025. Really love the 24/7 light mode, which mimics the daylight cycle and makes the fish tank look amazing. All the fish colors seem more vibrant. Recently, in October, had a failed LED (out of 72 LEDs per lightbar). Contacted Hygger via emails for warranty support. The tech was very prompt in response and walked us through a simple troubleshooting process. Then after, the tech sent out the replacement unit. While having no issues is always an ideal experience, having a great warranty support is right next to it. Highly recommend these lightbars to everyone, who looks to light up their aquarium tank.

Nice light for the money have had it for a year now it’s held up great. Easy to use and suction cups work well. Size is spot in

I absolutely loved the full spectrum lighting but I never could get the timer to work. I submerged this light bar in my outdoor aquarium during the fall to keep my plants alive and my fish looking vibrant. The first couple of days it was extremely clear and then the inside clouded up. The light bar looked as though water was inside it the second week but it didn’t affect the lighting. I had for 6 months however it didn’t survive the last ice storm. My outdoor aquarium is double walled and is kept at 75 degree with further insulation during the freezing temperatures. I don’t think it was due to a fluctuation of temperature but it still cracked and filled up with water. The light bar plastic was very brittle when I took it out of the water. Within the 5 month window is when the lights started disintegrating and dimming. It is worth the purchase.

Update: the company sent me a new unit and has worked perfectly. No issues at all! Worked perfectly for two days: very bright, perfect for my 36 gallon bow front, and loved the 24/7 lighting mode. On the third day however, the light started to dim and eventually shut off completely. After unplugging and trying again, still no light. Very disappointed as I really like the light. Maybe I just got a bad unit, I’m not sure.

Love this light! It has timers on each color. Fits perfect on our 20 gallon tank.

I have been using this light for my aquarium for about 3 months now. It is on a 26 gallon tank. I used Command strips to secure it to the top of the tank. It is also exposed to constant moisture. All the LEDs are still working. It is very bright but can also be adjusted to a dimmer setting. In the Video it was on the 2nd dimmest setting. Timer function works as does the 24 hour time. I don't use either because I don't like the super bright light. Probably my only complaint is that it gets too bright on those modes. If you are wondering about size just know I have the 19.9 inch and it fit perfectly in the 21 inch space that I had. Note: I was unable to use suction cups because the surface I was mounting it on isn't flat. I can't vouch for if the cups work or not. 18 month update. All LEDs still work. For the price I don't think you can beat it.

Unfortunately unit was faulty. Lights technically work but power button doesn't turn it on or off...must disconnect power. Timer settings don't work. I'm using it anyway because seller didn't offer a resolution. Went back and forth with them asking me to video what it didn't do. Couldn't send them a video of what it didn't do so I stopped hearing from them. Dont recommend.

I got this because I'm away from home sometimes & my live plants suffer. As noted in another review, the instructions are not clear and I had to experiment a lot before I figured out how it works. If you don't want Auto lighting then you have a choice of colors, time & intensity. The "trick" with Auto light is that it's geared to be activated at 8am. So if you want it to come on earlier you have to cheat it. Also you have to turn it on for regular light before you can set Auto. So turn on room lights if you're trying to set it before daylight so you're not shocking the fish with super bright light. I want mine to come on at 5am, which means first you turn on the regular light switch at 7am, then hit the 24/7 button. It runs it's cycle that first day, then resets to the "cheated time" from then on. A couple of hours of gradually increasing "dawn" light, then full spectrum lighting throughout the day, followed by a gradually darkening "moonlight" til it shuts off. Depending on when you want light cycle to come on/go off is how you pick the "cheat" time. The plants really like all that light but you may get extra algae growth. I usually don't leave Auto on when I'm home. I just turn the light on/off like a regular light then which cuts down on algae growth without a negative impact on the plants. It is fun to watch it go through Auto mode though. Mine is not submerged. It's under the hood on top of the glass splash guard. This is on my breeding Discus tank, both plants & fish are thriving.

The brightness of the blue light is not strong, defeats the purpose!

I purchased this in Feb 2023. It is now July 2025. This light was working great until water seeped into the sealed light area that is supposed to stay water proof. The light was stuck to the inside of the lid so was not submerged. The mist from the aerator bubbles must have caused the issue. The light still partially works, but I don't think it's safe to use. This was not an inexpensive light. For the price I paid I would have expected a least three years use out of it.

After a few months the controller started to create a humming sound every time the lights are dimmed. This means we have to unplug it every night.

Says submersible but it burnt out within a month

Not bright enough for plant growth
