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.) Review: Works Awesome For Me! - I had no problems with timer set-up, light intensity, or performance. I found it easy to set-up my lighting preference, which is 10-hours on from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM. You simply select 10-hour mode and turn timer function on at 9:00 AM on day 1. Every day after, the light comes on gradually at 9:00 and gradually off at 7:00. You can chose any time frame you want. For my purpose of having rare and ornamental goldfish, the brightest intensity is far too bright. I run it at the third intensity setting which is perfect. If you have a reef or marine tank the highest intensity will surely suffice given my experience with a 200 gallon reef and marine tank. You can also chose various light color options such as all red, all green, all blue, etc. Personally I don't see the need for this, but the options are there if you chose. Some reviewers have complained about the clarity of instructions, but I found them to be clear and concise. The light has a low profile so the reflection from tank glass cover is minimal. The adjustability of length is easy and fits my 55-gallon 36-inch tank perfectly. So far, I have no complaints and find this to be one of the best LED tank lights I have used in the last 10 years. ## Features - [Premium 5050 & RGB LED Bulbs] hygger 978 Aquarium led Light features a super-bright 6500K white LEDs paired with the full-spectrum RGB LEDs to emit bright light to bring out the colors of your fish and plant.

A good option for led lights that are too bright and can't be adjusted is to use window tint. Believe me it works and is easy to do. **Q: when using the 24/7 mode at a certain time, will the light be left flashing or must it be pressed again to turn off?** A: The 24/7 mode is "Set once and never touch anything again", it will turn itself on at the same set time every day, do its ramp up then down cycle, turn itself off completely, Light will not flash, you need not press anything again. Then next day it repeats itself exactly. I set my 24/7 mode 3 months ago, and I have not touch it again. **Q: What is the kit for the hanging mount shown in the 7th photo? I'd really like to mount mine that way!** A: Is easy to make your own mounting parts just need plexiglass and glue. **Q: Have a 35 gal hex tank. 24 inch deep. 18 inch across. Would the 18 to 24 inch give enough light for bottom plants to grow?** A: I’m not certain. It depends on how deep the tank is and what light requirements (i.e. low light, moderate light, etc.)…. I used two lamps but got algae problems. One light is ok but only for plants with low light requirements and some moderate light requirements….. my tank is 19 inches tall. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You can't go wrong with these lights at their price! *by L***1 on October 23, 2025* 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!!!

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. ## Frequently Bought Together - hygger Advanced LED Aquarium Light with Timer, 24/7 Lighting Cycle & DIY Mode, Full Spectrum Fish Tank Light for 30-36 in Freshwater Planted Tank - Fluval 12694 Plant and Shrimp Stratum for Freshwater Fish Tanks, 8.8 lbs. – Aquarium Substrate for Strong Plant Growth, Supports Neutral to Slightly Acidic pH --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/265527377-advanced-led-aquarium-light-with-timer-24-7-lighting-cycle](https://www.desertcart.in/products/265527377-advanced-led-aquarium-light-with-timer-24-7-lighting-cycle) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
