Has anyone tried this light?

Has anyone tried this light? It's supposed to be very simple. You turn it on by tapping it for "daytime" and tap again for "night time." I want something i can add to the top tote to give them a cycle.

It's not very pricey. I might order it just to try it, somebody has to be the guinea pig haha!

I have been using this guy. I like it alot, there are different modes like lightening, cloud cover, etc. Great fit, i got a smaller light on purpose because of the extended poles sides, didnt want to flood the entire tank with beaming light. This particular model has 5 modes of led white and 5 modes of blue, with the variable modes in the middle. The ONLY thing im not a fan of is to get to the dimmer light i have to move through them, brightest first so thats a shock to them in the morning.. but it was a great purchase and find. ImageImage

Nope! Got a message that it may have been lost. Right? So, requested a refund and am going to order the one you suggested. Thanks!

I actually ordered the “Plus” version which comes with an IR remote and the mounting bracket. It was $20 more than the regular version.

I love the option of cloud cover and storm settings!
