R2 Dual Extreme Aquarium Moonlight

I have a 55gal freshwater tank with a lot of rare fish that are entirely nocturnal, so I ordered this set in order to watch them at night. The light output on them is surprisingly good for only having a total of 10 LED's (I think its either 5 or 6 in each) and it give the water a nice shimmer (note you can only get shimmer if the surface of the water is disturbed, in my case by my power heads and filters). They are easy to install as well. The two problems I have that kept me from giving these a full five stars are:

1. For the price, I really feel like these should come with reflectors. The LEDs are simply on a circuit board floating in glass, so that you get a significant amount of light going to the sides and top. I originally used aluminum foil to counter this, but it kept falling off when I opened the glass and I finally just gave up. I have a hood so that you can't tell that the light is leaking, but it wastes some of the luminosity, and if you don't have a hood you will see blue light all over the place.

2. Another gripe with the price, this time compared to other similar products. After buying these, I discovered ecoxotic stunner strips, which contain many more LEDs in many different light colors (including this blue and even ultraviolet) for the same price, and they make a strip that will go the whole length of my tank for approximately double the price of these.

Overall I don't necessarily regret buying these, but I'm not sure I would again after finding ecoxotic's strips.

These LED's are great.

I have a 80 gallon Cichlid tank (5' long) with 3 of these installed. 2 just didn't quite have enough effect for me.

The look of it is very impressive if you have water surface agitation, as it will shimmer on the bottom.

I've had these for a few months and they're good so far. They will work with a timer if you want.

All my fish are more active at night now, and 2 of them mated for the first time only days after I put these lights in.

My freshwater lobster also started coming out at night and exploring.

It's nice to see the aquarium life at night, and everybody in the tank seems happier now.

Apparently having moonlight is a much more vital part of aquarium life than most of us think.

If you are thinking of getting these, DO NOT HESITATE.

I have recently changed my lighting system on my 76 gallon Oceanic half round saltwater tank. The light I am using is LED and it has great coverage. However there was not separate plugs for the day and night lights. This caused problems because I have been on a timer for years, and trying to remember to turn off and on the lights everyday was next to impossible. I purchased these lights to use for my moon effect. The R2 Dual Extreme lights have been the perfect compliment to my tank. I am now able to have both light systems on a timer for worry free lighting. The lighting output is just right for my size tank. I highly recommend these lights.

I have a 90 gallon aquarium with glass tops and a double flourescent tube fixture. These lights (2) mounted perfectly between the tubes on the reflector and provide good side to side coverage for a four foot wide area. Mine is 24 inches high and the more height gives it a wider coverage area than a shallow tank would. At 24" high they probably cover 5-6' wide on the bottom. The aquarium is 18" deep so it doesn't cover that. But that wasn't my intention which was to provide a nice glow to the tank whenever the main light it off. Actually I just keep the LED's on all the time. I did wrap the electrical tape people mention on the clips to hold the light fixture in the clips. I product works as expected, I just hope the LED longevity is satisfactory.

Received this product and it was very easy to install. Hooked it up to come on automatically when my day lights went off on a 55 gallon salt water set up. Everything was great and i was very satisfied with them, then last night they just died. I have tried everything and no luck. I am pretty disappointed for 50 bucks I would expect better quality and to last longer then 3 weeks obviously. Now I am stuck looking for an alternate solution.
