Fish Tank Light - Clip On Aquarium Light - Aquarium Light for Plants - LED Flexible Lamp for Freshwater Light - NanoSoft Black Fish Tank Lights 10 Gallon

I just moved this 3 gallon planted bowl (purchased from a local craft store with a 50% off coupon) to a bedside shelf, and needed a better light for it. The other light I had sat on the top of the bowl and just wasn’t as pretty (though it worked well), and I didn’t want cats swatting a desk lamp into the water (because if they could, they would). It is a snail/shrimp bowl. The light is quite lovely, and it makes the colors pop. I have another lower wattage one on a one gallon terrarium, and it grows similar low-light plants quite well, so figured this one would do well with anubias, Java fern, Java moss, Marino moss balls, and moneywort (in the back). The neck of the light bends for perfect adjustment on curved surfaces, and the magnet holds well. It doesn’t have an on/off switch, or a usb plug-in, so you’ll have to get those separately. I used a Kasa mini smart plug, and set the hours for the light to come on and off. Honestly, it’s easier this way, as I never have to worry about turning it off, or it getting left on (causing an algae bloom), and the Kasa app automatically adjusts for daylight savings. If I have any issues, I’ll update with those problems. As of now, it’s perfect for my needs. I hope this review/photo helps another hobbyist to choose whether this light is right for them. Update: unfortunately, this light did not work for my bowl, but it could still work for certain sized applications (for example taller/skinnier aquariums/terrariums or bowls/wider tanks with a higher-light, focal-type plant only in the middle of the tank). My bowl is wider, rather than tall. This light is primarily focused all in one area in the center, with some (but less) light spreading to the sides. This caused algae growth on my middle plants, while neglecting to produce enough light for my plants on the outer edges. A longer/bar-type light works better for longer aquariums and bowls. However, the lower-wattage version of this light works very well on my one gallon jar, which is taller, rather than long, and the light disperses more evenly to all areas of the jar. This higher wattage version does stick well to the glass, and produces plenty of full-spectrum light, and looks great, but needs a vase-type or tall aquarium, or would be pretty for a higher light focal-type plant growing in the middle of a bowl (with possibly a few low-light plants on the edges 😉).

I was a little skeptical at first but all that went away as soon as I set it up. I purchased the smaller version of the two (the 100 lumens one) and it has worked great with my 3 gallon jarraruim. The light itself is as bright as it is advertised, adequate for a small planted tank or jar. I would not recommend this for more than a 3 gallon tank, although perhaps 5 gallons would work in a stretch. You would need 2 or 3 for a 10 gallon. The cord is about 6 feet long and streachy, it is permanently attached to the body. The body of the light is made of soft rubber which is HOPEFULLY aquarium safe. The magnetic part itself is not actually completely sealed, which also leads me to worry about corrosion. However, on those two points only time will tell. The light itself does get very warm, although not hot enough to burn. I will monitor the heat to make sure it does not burn the floating plants in my jar. Overall, a GREAT light for the price! Love it! Update: This light has been up for about a month and I have noticed no corrosion, it is bright enough and at the proper wavelength for growth, it is not hit enough to burn floating plants. 👌

Overall happy with light. It is USB powered and DOES NOT come with charger or plug. You need your own power source (and probably already have a drawer full from old phones already). I’m happy with brightness and in fact wish it had ability to dim. My only real complaint here is the color of light is very white board heading towards blue. I wish led light manufacturers- especially those for aquariums - would pay more attention to this. It looks cold/harsh/artificial.

Absolutely perfect for micro aquariums/terrariums. I was skeptical it wouldn’t be bright enough but all my plants are getting a good amount of light. The design is simple, sleek, and looks great. I hope it lasts a while. I’ll definitely buy more for my other small tanks.

If you need a great and bright led light than this is the light you need. I’m trying to make a low budget shrimp tank and I was a little wary on the light due to the price but damn I’m getting what I paid for. Mine arrived yesterday afternoon and the magnet holding strong, hasn’t slipped or anything. Like I mentioned in my title, this light does NOT have any kind of on off switch, so you have to unplug and replug the light to turn it on and off. A mild inconvenience, but I’ve sold my soul to Amazon and have a echo + a spare WiFi plug, so I plugged the light into that and I just tell my echo to turn it off and on for me. I’d recommend doing something like that, because depending on where you plan to plug things in it might be hard to unplug it daily. Another thing that would pry work great is diying a timer set up. TL:DR: Amazing for nano tanks Plants are loving it Only downside is no on off switch Try to make some sort of diy auto turn on and off and this light is perfection.

This little light is so good!! It illuminates my fish bowl beautifully. You have to unplug it to turn it off, but that problem is solved by using a timer.

Light died under 4 months. Looks like the LED inside is fried.

The light is very bright and works better than expected, however there isnt an on/off switch so it had to be unplugged to turn it off and plugged back I to turn it on which will cause wear and tear on the cord and it doesn't come with an outlet attachment just a USB so you will have to purchase one separately.

El magneto es fuerte, la luz es potente, lo único es que se calienta un poco.

They work great for my 3 gallon bowls

works amazingly! I set it to a wall using two screws! Unfortunately I didn't really think things through, changed it out with my old light and got a bunch of algae :s

Llego muy bien y el material se ve de buena calidad. Se conecta con cable USB, leí que era de 1 watt y es correcto para una pecera pequeña, pero si se compara contra una de las lámparas tradicionales rectangulares de 3, 5 o 10 watts, obviamente notarás la diferencia. Es un producto para una necesidad muy específica en una pecera pequeñita de vidrio que tenga un borde al que no le viene bien un broche de tuerca, por lo que el iman lo resuelve de buena manera.

Great little light, magnet is great feature especially for table top small tanks with integrated filter as there is no room for a clamp type light. Put this on a 3 gallon grows anubias and java fern without issue. 4 star rating as no on off switch. Purchased lamp switch adapter for about $10 on amazon to use with light so now it has on/off switch.
