NICREW HyperReef 100 Gen 2 Reef LED Light, 100W Reef Aquarium Lighting for SPS LPS Corals and Saltwater Fish Tanks, Enhanced Violet and Blue Spectrum, Wide Angle Lens, 5 Channels Fully Programmable

These lights work like the big boys but at a fraction of the cost. I will continue to buy them for future reef tanks. The controller (sold separate) makes the a breeze to setup and use. The instructions were easy to follow and they look amazing on my new tank.

I have two of these on our 125g reef tank. It came with the arm to attach to the tank and its sleek and works well. They are sufficient for our softies and light up the tank really well. When we get more corals (lps/sps) we may add a third but for now two work fine for our size tank). The fans make a slight humming noise but not loud enough for it to bother us. Almost sounds like the AC unit is running. We appreciate the ability to adjust the white/blue lights as needed and it has good settings to create a schedule. The only downside is having to buy a separate remote to do all of that AND the remote has to stay plugged in. Not a huge deal, just a little annoying. The light scatter is pretty intense too so I bought light covers off Etsy that were an amazing addition. Highly recommend doing that. Overall, great lights.

Great product!Quality exceeded my expectations!Excellent rack/support adaptable for European tanks.The only thing I'm still getting used to is the remote control that need to be plugued...

Absolutely love these lights! I’m using them on my mixed reef tank and they’ve been fantastic. When paired with the optional controller, the customization options really take things to the next level. Coral growth and color have both improved, and the tank looks amazing. Easy to set up, powerful, and super clean design. Highly recommend for anyone looking to upgrade their reef lighting setup.

FOR CONTEXT: I have been using a 24 inch ReefBreeder Photon V2+ for a few years now on my 50 galloon lagoon reef with great success but their BOT mounting arms just weren't easy to deal with and always sagged. So I wanted to look into different options and found the Nicrew lights in my hunt.Having used EcoTech in the past, I was considering Radion XR30s, the new Hydras and AI Blades, but the cost just seemed extortionate. But these Nicrew lights...the price seemed incredible, and I was skeptical of the performance. I decided to purchase 1x 200w Gen 2 to test out on my 50 gallon lagoon with the idea of potentially buying a second to suspend over a 112 gallon lagoon cube I have in the works. If it wasn't great I would simply return the light.Since I received the light a couple days ago, I've been blown away. The packaging is top tier with everything protected and organized flawlessly. The first noticeable thing was the build quality of the light itself- exceptional. The claims that they rival EcoTech Radions is 100% true. The light pucks are ideally spaced with great LED distribution. The real unsung hero of the kit is the mounting arm system. Seriously, this is the best engineered mounting arm of any aquarium lighting fixture I've ever used, hard stop, no contest.The fact that it's heavy, sturdy metal while having great aesthetics is a huge plus. No flimsy gooseneck, no sagging 90 degree arm. They use basic physics to their benefit with a curved semi-circle arm that cuts down on bulk while being incredible strong and resistant to sag- it's a no brainer! They put a perfectly placed hole in the arm to snake wiring through which sits PERFECTLY in the back curve of the arm and remains clean and out of sight for easy cable management right out of the box.The crown jewel of the mounting arm is that actual mounting bracket is adjustable with only a small set of 2 screws that makes it compatible with rimmed, rimless, and Euro Braced aquariums all without having to buy a completely different mounting system. For me this is a LIFE SAVER as I have both rimmless and euro braced tanks that I can swap these lights between to test without needing to change to a new mounting kit. This is a HUGE deal for me because so many of my past lights often had completely different mounting systems depending on the tank design which was added cost.Cons are minor. Yes, the early batches of these things have loud fans but I've been told that the new ones should be shipping with a new board to reduce noise within the next couple of months. In the meantime, Nicrew got back to me within a day and will be sending me new control boards for free for a DIY fix with guided support. TOP NOTCH customer service.The only minor complain I have is that the controller is an absolute must and must also remain PLUGGED IN at all times to utilize any lighting schedules you set up. To be clear, I don't mind the USB-C daisy chaining at all or using a controller (My ReefBreeders uses a bluetooth but far less intuitive controller and it's never been a problem) but I wish that the controller was bluetooth at the very least. For the price and quality this is absolutely NOT a deal breaker, but definitely something Nicrew could upgrade in the future.PAR is exceptional. On my 50 gallon lagoon I'm running an AB+ clone reduced to 30% and I'm getting even 100 par across the sandbed and 250+ around the top most of my aquascape with the light mounted roughly 10 inches off the water. There are some hot spots near the middle-top, but this light is also wildly overkill for the 50 lagoon and was only meant to be a proving ground for the larger lagoon build.Seriously, you're not going to find a better value light than this. Their sleek, effective, and have top tier build quality all for a fraction of the price of the upper-crust brands we all have been gaslit into believing are worth the $1k+ price tags. I'm so happy to see a newer brand shaking up the industry in this way as I believe the lighting solutions for a home reef are becoming cost-prohibitive and producing diminishing returns when it comes to price and generational improvements. You will NOT be disappointed.

Great light for the price. Also the gen 2 from the gen 1 mount is a great improvement. This light is high end quality with a low end price. Only thing I wish you can control it by your phone but they say mid 2025 you should be able to.

Made well pops my coral! Beautiful.

Better than expected. Don't forget to buy the controller that comes separate. I have two of these over my 90 gallon reef tank. I did however have to purchase a 3d printed hood cover to help with the light pollution. Overall good light.
