Control Your Aquarium From Your Phone

Use the TUYA Smart app to adjust brightness, RGB colours, colour temperature, scenes, and schedules through Bluetooth.

Create a Natural Day-to-Night Cycle

Gradual sunrise and sunset transitions provide a smoother lighting routine than suddenly switching from darkness to full brightness.

Bring Out Natural Colours

High-quality RGB LEDs with a CRI of up to 95 help plants, fish, rocks, and decorations appear vivid and naturally detailed.

Ready-Made and Custom Scenes

Choose Sunlight, Moonlight, Fishlight, or Ocean Blue, or save two personalized scenes with your preferred colour and brightness.

Set It Once and Let It Run

Program up to eight lighting periods for automatic changes throughout the day. A memory function restores the previous scene within approximately one hour after power returns.

Tank Size: Designed for aquariums measuring 30–46 cm (12–18 inches) wide. This includes many 10–28 L (2.5–7.5 gallon) nano, betta, shrimp, cube, and desktop aquariums. Measure the outside width of your aquarium before ordering.

Shrimp & Snail Compatibility: A good choice for planted shrimp and snail tanks. Start with lower brightness in shallow aquariums and increase it gradually.

CO₂: Not required. The light is suitable for low-tech planted aquariums, although CO₂ and balanced fertilization may improve the growth of more demanding plants.

Recommended Schedule: Begin with 6–8 hours of light per day at moderate brightness. Adjust gradually according to plant growth and algae levels.

Best Use: Freshwater planted tanks, betta aquariums, shrimp tanks, nano community tanks, and small aquascapes.
