This was my second purchase of this light. (First one not purchased on Amazon and cat damaged switch zooming around). I can't believe the condition this second light arrived in and was packed in the bubble wrapper: open box, thrown on ground (see photo above). Fortunately it doesn't appear to be broken but should have been packaged in a cardboard box, imho.This light is very bright, has a nice modern design, was priced $10 less than the first one and has a secure clear mounting bracket with large thumb screws to tighten it on your rimless tank. The light measures 4.25 x 4.25" and has all white LEDs. The clear bracket is a bit bulky but you don't see the bulkiness from the front. It measures about 4.75 x 1.5" on its backside. Have gotten a buce plant to flower with this light! If it is too bright at times, I just wrap it in window screening. I just hope yours arrives in better condition than mine did...

Pretty basic light. On/off switch and that’s it. I do enjoy it a lot, it gives off a pretty pinkish hue which I light. Not a super bright light either to me.I do wish it had more things to it like dimming and timer, but it doesn’t.But it’s a great light and my plants love it and so do my two bettas. We’ll see how long they last!

Even you can't programming this light it is enough to grow low light plants and little more demanding plants like hair grass.

Super happy with this light! I’ve retrofitted it into a 6gal nanocube that had CFLs originally. It’s lighting the tank beautifully and my plants are doing very well. I haven’t had problems with algae either. It was both much cheaper, and a better fit, than the other lights I was considering.

Great for my 10 gallon, tall hex tank. Very good lighting for plants. Going to buy a second for my 5 gallon betta tank so i can scape that too.

Awesome light for smaller planted aquarium. I was hesitant because I couldn't find any reviews, but I've been pleased with penn-plax products in the past. As a newbie to aquascaping but a long time aquarium hobbies, I didnt want to invest in an overpriced light, but still wanted something with red light for my 7.5 gallon. This light is super bright and reaches all corners of the tank. I would say it would work well up and to 10 gallons. Though, if you had anything larger, you could easily put 2 side by side and it would still look slick. Nice work, penn-plax.
