Key Features

24 Natural Light Cycle

• Simulates sunrise, midday, sunset, and night with gradual 15-minute light transitions

• Prevents light shock and mimics the natural environment

• Helps regulate fish behavior and boosts plant photosynthesis

Fully Programmable & DIY Customization

• Two operating modes: Auto Cycle (standard mode) and DIY Custom Cycle

• In Auto Cycle (standard mode) – Runs on a preset timer. Daylight time from 06:30 till 18:30 in full-spectrum light to simulate sunrise, midday, and sunset; Nightlight time from 18:00 till 23:30 in blue. Just plug it in and set your local time.

• In DIY Custom Cycle – Set custom lighting schedules, color gradients, and intensity levels (In L7-L8, the light is blue, and cannot be changed, but the brightness can be selected)

• Auto memory preset saves your preferred light configuration (Memory function keeps local time in sync, remembers the programming of daylight/moonlight mode, and the DIY mode).

Full Spectrum LED with Adjustable Color & Brightness

• Offers 7 colors (red, purple, blue, cyan, green, yellow, white)

• 10 levels of brightness to meet specific plant and tank needs

• White daylight blends RGB LEDs for high PAR value, from 201(20W model) to 420.1(72W model)

• Moonlight mode includes gentle ambient colors for nighttime viewing

IP68 Water-Resistant & Durable Design

• Fully sealed aluminum housing resists splashes, humidity, and water intrusion

• Safe for aquarium use with low-voltage DC power

• No fan = no noise = long life and low energy bills

Smart Features for Effortless Use

• Auto ON at 6:30 am / OFF at 11:30 pm by default (adjustable)

• Includes built-in timer, auto shut-off, and power-loss memory function

• Easy setup: plug it in and place it on top of your tank—no extra programming needed

Versatile Mounting & Compatibility

• Adjustable brackets fit aquariums from 12 to 55 inches wide

• Ideal for freshwater aquariums, planted tanks, and aquascapes

Usage Tips

Note: The package includes an AC-DC adapter; No additional purchases are required.

Enhance your aquascape and ensure optimal plant and fish health with these expert tips for using the hygger 957 aquarium light:

• Set Up the 24/7 Natural Light Cycle for Stress-Free Environments

• Use Auto Mode to simulate natural sunrise and sunset transitions. This prevents light shock and mimics day/night rhythms, promoting calm behavior in fish and boosting plant photosynthesis.

• For best results, stick with the default ON at 6:30 AM and OFF at 11:30 PM, or customize your light schedule based on your tank’s needs.

• Customize Color & Brightness for Specific Plant Species

• Use DIY mode to select from 7 LED colors (under the Night mode) and 10 brightness levels.

• High-light plants (like Rotala, Monte Carlo, or Red Ludwigia) benefit from full-spectrum brightness (6500 K and more).

• Low-light plants (like Anubias, Java Fern, or Crypts) thrive with reduced intensity and red/blue combinations.

• Moonlight Mode creates a peaceful nighttime ambiance while allowing nocturnal species to remain active.

• Positioning for Maximum Coverage

• Place the fixture centrally above the tank for even light distribution across the substrate and water column.

• Adjust the mounting brackets to fit tanks 12–55 inches wide for secure and stable installation.

• Utilize Memory Function for Uninterrupted Lighting

• Power outage? No problem. The built-in memory function restores your last-used settings automatically—no reprogramming required, but the time needs to be reset after a power outage or unplugging.

• After the power is restored, the light’s local time will default to 12 noon if you don’t reset it; other settings remain unchanged and continue to run.

• Safe & Efficient Operation

• Never submerge the light—while IP68 water-resistant, it is designed for use above the waterline.

• Operate using low-voltage DC power for energy efficiency and long-term safety.

• No noisy fan = silent operation, ideal for tanks in bedrooms or offices.

• Long-Term Maintenance

• Gently wipe down the aluminum housing monthly to remove condensation or mineral buildup.

• Ensure the brackets remain tight and secure for stable positioning over time.
