Description:
A good aquarium light should do more than just turn on and off. The Dynamic Power 36W RGB LED Plant Light gives you the option to run a traditional timed lighting schedule or let the light gradually transition throughout the day with its built-in 24/7 sunrise, daylight and evening cycle.
The 24/7 mode slowly changes the lighting throughout the day, starting with a gentle sunrise, moving into daylight, and finishing with blue evening lighting. Rather than suddenly switching from complete darkness to full brightness, the gradual transition creates a more natural change in lighting conditions. This can help avoid startling fish that may be resting or hiding when the light comes on, while also giving your aquarium a more consistent day-to-night rhythm.
For planted aquariums, the full spectrum lighting provides a broad range of light for healthy plant growth while still producing a natural-looking display. The combination of red, green, blue and white LEDs also helps bring out the colour of both your plants and fish, making it suitable for aquariums where you want to balance plant growth with an attractive overall appearance.
If you'd prefer to control the lighting yourself, there are 9 different lighting modes to choose from. These include 7 individual colours, a full spectrum mode, and a colour gradient mode, allowing you to change the look of your aquarium depending on what you want to highlight. The full spectrum setting is ideal for everyday aquarium viewing and planted setups, while the other colour modes give you a bit more flexibility to customise the appearance of your tank.
In manual mode, the light also has 10 adjustable brightness levels, so you can fine-tune the intensity to suit your aquarium. This can be particularly useful for planted tanks, where light intensity can be adjusted depending on the plants you're keeping and the overall needs of the aquarium. There are also built-in 6, 10 and 12-hour timers, making it easy to set a consistent daily lighting period without needing a separate timer.
With 180 LEDs and a power consumption of 36 watts, this model is designed for aquariums between 100 and 120cm long. The main light panel measures 95cm, with extendable mounting brackets allowing it to fit securely across a range of tank sizes. The aluminium alloy housing also provides a more durable construction while helping manage heat during operation.

Always create a drip loop in the power cord before it reaches the power board or wall outlet. The cord should hang below the level of the power connection, allowing any water running along the cable to drip off at the lowest point rather than reaching the power board or outlet. This is an important safety precaution for any electrical equipment used around an aquarium.
Keep the light and power connections away from splashing water and regularly check that the mounting brackets remain secure. Although the aluminium housing helps manage heat during operation, avoid covering the light or restricting airflow around the housing.
Wipe the light panel periodically with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust, water spots, and mineral deposits. Always disconnect the light from power before cleaning and make sure it is completely dry before reconnecting. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers, as these can damage the light panel.
If you're using the light for a planted aquarium, avoid running it at unnecessarily high intensity or for excessive periods simply to encourage faster plant growth. Too much light can contribute to algae problems, so adjust the brightness and lighting duration to suit your plants and the overall balance of the aquarium.
When using the 24/7 mode, allow the light to complete its gradual sunrise and evening cycle rather than repeatedly switching it off and on manually. The gradual transition is designed to create a more consistent lighting environment and avoid sudden changes that can startle fish.
If you need to change your lighting schedule or intensity significantly, make adjustments gradually where practical and monitor your plants and algae growth over the following days. Changes in light intensity can alter the balance between light, nutrients, and plant growth, so giving the aquarium time to adjust can help prevent unnecessary algae outbreaks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this light suitable for planted aquariums?
Yes. The full spectrum lighting provides a broad range of light suitable for supporting healthy plant growth while also producing a natural-looking aquarium. The red, green, blue, and white LEDs help enhance the colour of both plants and fish, making this light a good choice for freshwater planted aquariums.
What is the 24/7 lighting mode?
The 24/7 mode automatically transitions the aquarium through different stages of the day, starting with a gentle sunrise, moving into brighter daylight, and finishing with blue evening lighting. Rather than suddenly switching from darkness to full brightness, the gradual transition creates a more natural day-to-night cycle for your aquarium.
Is the gradual sunrise better for fish?
It can be. Fish may be resting or hiding when aquarium lights are switched on, and suddenly exposing them to bright light can startle them. A gradual sunrise gives fish time to adjust to increasing light levels and creates a more natural transition between darkness and daytime.
Is the 24/7 mode good for aquarium plants?
Yes. The gradual lighting cycle can provide a more natural progression from sunrise through daylight and into evening. However, plants still require an appropriate amount of useful light each day, so the 24/7 mode should not be considered a substitute for providing suitable lighting intensity and duration for the plants you keep.
Can I adjust the brightness of the light?
Yes. Manual mode provides 10 adjustable brightness levels, allowing you to fine-tune the light intensity to suit your aquarium. This is particularly useful for planted aquariums, as different plants have different lighting requirements. Brightness adjustment is not available while using the 24/7 mode.
What lighting modes does this light have?
The light has 9 different lighting modes, including 7 individual colours, a full spectrum mode, and a colour gradient mode. The full spectrum setting is the best choice for everyday aquarium viewing and planted aquariums, while the additional colour modes allow you to customise the appearance of your aquarium.
How long should I leave the aquarium light on each day?
For most planted aquariums, around 6 to 10 hours of useful lighting per day is a good starting point. The correct duration depends on the plants you keep, light intensity, CO₂ availability, and nutrient levels. If you are experiencing excessive algae growth, reducing the lighting period or intensity may help.
What size aquarium is this light suitable for?
This model is designed for aquariums between 100 and 120cm long. The main light panel measures 95cm and uses extendable mounting brackets to span the compatible aquarium length. Always measure your aquarium before purchasing to ensure the light will fit securely.
Does this light need a separate timer?
No. The light has built-in 6, 10, and 12-hour timer settings, allowing you to establish a consistent daily lighting schedule without needing a separate plug-in timer.
Can I use this light for a tropical community aquarium without live plants?
Yes. While this light is designed with planted aquariums in mind, it is also suitable for tropical community aquariums without live plants. The different colour modes and adjustable brightness allow you to customise the appearance of your aquarium and highlight the colours of your fish and décor.
Where should I position the light?
The light should be positioned securely across the top of the aquarium using the included extendable mounting brackets. Make sure the light is stable and cannot fall into the aquarium. Keep the power connection and controller away from water, and always create a drip loop with the power cord so water cannot run along the cable towards the power board or electrical connection.
