fishkeeper Clip-On Aquarium LED Light - 24/7 Full Spectrum, 8 Color Modes, Adjustable Gooseneck, 9W for 7.87–12.99 in Planted Tanks

Natural, versatile lighting for your planted aquarium

The fishkeeper Clip-On Aquarium LED Light blends a compact form with a thoughtful lighting system designed for small to mid-sized tanks. Compatible with planted tanks from 7.87 to 12.99 inches, this 9W light uses a mix of LED chips to deliver a balanced, low-heat glow that complements greens, reds, and other hues without overpowering your fish. The metal housing and thoughtfully positioned LEDs help keep heat modest while spreading light evenly across the tank lid-to-base area.

Two lighting modes you can choose from

• 24/7 Default Mode: a gentle sunrise begins in warm orange, moves to a bright full-spectrum daytime tone, and transitions to a starry blue night. The built‑in schedule runs from 8:00 to 23:00 by default, with options to adjust the on/off time. In this mode, brightness and some controls are temporarily disabled, and a long press exits the mode.
• DIY Mode: customize color, brightness, and timing in three steps: (1) Timing: 8H, 12H, or 14H durations; (2) Color and On/Off: 8 color options plus a color-cycle and a full-spectrum setting; (3) Brightness: 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%.

Adjustable color and brightness for daily scenes

• Color options include eight hues plus automatic cycling and a full-spectrum mode for varied moods and appearances.
• Five brightness levels let you tailor the ambience from subtle to vivid without generating excessive heat.

Design, placement, and reliability

• New gooseneck design measures 7 inches and can be adjusted 360° for height and direction, helping you target growth zones or viewing angles.
• Aluminum alloy clip supports framed or frameless tanks up to 0.9 inches thick, with a sturdy tightening screw for secure placement.
• Thickened aluminum housing improves heat dissipation and adds a sleek, durable look to your setup.

LEDs, color mixing, and efficiency

Twenty-four LEDs (18 x 5730 and 6 x 5050) deliver color-mixing capabilities that yield RGB-like dynamic effects with low heat and uniform light distribution across the tank. The 5730 chips provide brightness where plants can benefit, while the 5050 chips contribute to vivid color when desired.

Power, memory, and general specs

• Power: 9W; Size: 4.7 × 2.7 × 0.39 inches; Mounts on tanks 7.87–12.99 inches long.
• Cord length: 2.2 meters (7.2 feet) for flexible placement around your setup.
• Power-off memory: the unit recalls the previous mode, timing, and brightness after a power outage.
