SkyLED Plus
Anatomy Spectrum
450 nm: The rich blue spectrum brings out the best growth in plants while highlighting the fluorescent colors of the fish and provides a new level of tunability in the daylight spectrum between crisp and actinic.
660 nm: AquaLux LED offers true 660 nm deep red LEDs. Unlike competing LED fixtures using just cheaper and mass-produced 630-640 nm orange red LEDs. 660 nm spectrum is one of the most efficient wavelengths for plant photosynthesis as well as offering a warmer look to an aquarium.

I have 2 of these lights (different sizes), the quality of the light is just fantastic though on both. Packed with features and has tons of light. Take some time to figure out, wish setting up was a little easier. Other than that though this is a awesome light and great value!

The Nicrew SkyLED Plus planted aquarium light showed up on time and undamaged. The light was packed well. I have the 12" model set up on my 12x12x18 Zoo Med Vivarium for Dart Frogs. I was easy to set up and program the light schedule controller. Provides plenty of light for my use.

I installed this light on our 40 gallon bow-front aquarium and it looks great. These tanks are tall and they need a strong light. The light is strong enough to make the whole tank shine. The programming works well also, although you need to read the instructions to know how to set it. The cables are long enough for my setup, but not too long. (Don't make the shorter, I needed them at full length.) Things I like:* Color balance and ability to adjust blue separately* Light strength (more than enough for my planted freshwater tank)* Night time slow sunset and moonlight programs.* Packaging and assembly is robust* Controller display is easy to readThings that could be improved (took off 1 star):* Memory when the power goes out - it should keep time for at least a few hours* Retain programming when power goes out - I know I'll need to program it all again when the next snowstorm kills the power on us* Dimming is linear, not logarithmic. People observe luminance on a logarithmic scale. The dimming adjustment should be exponential so that 50% level looks 50% as bright as 100%. I adjusted the white from 100 -75 and could not even see any change.Otherwise this is a solid product. I'm sure they will solve the time retention problem soon. (All my little timer modules for my other devices remember the time when the power glitches. ) It's a nice product and I am happy I purchased it!

This light is a great value and easy to program. Overall a 4.5 star.The only negative is the wire stand which is flimsy, but that is the same even with more expensive lights. This light is being used on top of a 5 foot (60") tank so with the legs extended all the way they bow a little. Instead I added some heavier and taller 3.5" legs made for Hygger to give it strength and also lift it higher above the water. My tank also has two Hygger HG957 lights end-to-end since they don't make a light long enough, and this NICREW light is being used at the front of the tank to get better coverage front to back. The NICREW is super BRIGHT, I had to dial it back to 40% when used along side the Hygger lights... which are being run at 70% (but same brightness).Pros:1) Slim design and seems very well built.2) Easy to program (once you learn how). Much easier than Hygger which has a odd program.3) Super high output - I am only using this at 40% W/R and 40% B. This is compared to the Hygger 957 that I am running at 70%. Good light penetration down to the substrate even above a 24" deep tank.4) Color and intensity appears to be similar to the much more expensive Fluval Plant LEDs.5) PRICE is great! I think the Fluval is 6x the price and Hygger slightly higher but cost me even more because I needed 2 to cover a 60" long tank.Cons:1) Extension legs are a little weak when fully extended.2) The clock time is not saved during a power outage (or unplugged), but this is the same for most brand LEDs I've tried. The program remains but the time resets to 12:00. Easily fixed by adding a small computer battery backup to maintain the program time.3) When setting up a custom program there is no separate color adjustment for Red, the White and Red are one combined channel and Blue is the second channel. Not a big deal and really can't complain for the price.4) No WiFi, just the wired controller... which can also be a plus. But it's also much cheaper than those with WiFi remote programming so I won't complain.Overall this is a fantastic light. Time will tell if it holds up over a long period of time but at the price it can be replaced several times before spending as much as the Fluval lights.

Have the 36" version of this light on my 36" 22g rimless. It is very bright, I am currently running it on 40% during the day and it is growing my plants very well. The controller is easy to use and program. I like how it has an adjustable sunset/sunrise feature; I have mine set to the max at 120 minutes and it's perfect. It's also nice to be able to adjust the brightness separately for both the blue and white/red lights.If I can get a couple of years out of it I would consider it well worth the price. Only time will tell, but as for right now this is an amazing light and a great value.UPDATE 11/2/2023Light is still working as good as day one. No problems at all. My plants are growing like weeds. If you are not pumping co2, this light is about as strong as you will need at only 50%-60% brightness on the settings (depending on tank depth/dimensions). So if you decide to go co2 you can easily ramp it up. Great light.

A serious aquarium hobbyist suggested this product to me. My old light burned out and he suggested instead of trying to replace it, I should buy this. I did and I was really happy about it. I can adjust the brightness and change from a pretty azure colour to bright white, and step the degree of brightness to suit the time of day. It seems well built and it arrived pretty quickly. It took me about 5 minutes to figure out how to scrap the old light and put the LED light in position in the old frame. As a bonus, I've been told that it will support growing real plants. We've had plastic up till now because the old light wouldn't support real plant growth. Highly recommend this product and seller.

I was so worried that I am spending so much for something like this, I was worried it might not get to all my plants. but when I put it on, it was very bright and it made my water look so clear. I am very happy with product and it is well worth your money. and the package that it came in was safe as well. and also I didn't get any glass broken so I Was lucky. my fish tank is big and light got all the way down.

This is a good light for the price. It does not have green colour which is slightly annoying, but overall good. It also does not have a timer or a power button, so to turn it off you have to fully unplug.

This affordable light is very bright for the price you’re paying. Definitely +1 for value. The tank I have it on is 16 inches deep for reference. To turn the light off you must hold down the “m” button in the middle for three seconds, unlike a conventional dedicated on/off switch. To add on, the build is quite sturdy, does not feel cheap.The skyled plus (labeled SP in the attached photo) is a tad bit brighter compared to the classicLED PLUS (labeled CP). Both are more than adequate for growing plants 100%. I like how the skyled plus is dimmable, useful if you find it too bright for the fish or you’re experiencing algae growth due to the intensity. On the other hand, the classicLED plus is just on or off. For this reason I would pick the skyled plus over the latter. To add on, it is also nearly half the width of the classicLED plus, thus taking less room on top. Good for the minimalist look. The unit does get quite hot but nothing to be alarmed or concerned about.Final rating: 9.5/10I don’t have any complaints. Perhaps a built-in timer would be nice, but for the price point that’s asking for a lot!
