The sump for my reef tank is divided into thirds and I have chaeto algae in one section. I had been using an LED spotlight to light the chaeto but added this light. Wow, the chaeto growth is unbelievable and I will soon have to remove some of it for the first time in years. The thing is definitely waterproof as well - I had a pump malfunction and the entire unit ended up underwater, but absolutely no water got inside the housing and it looked like new after the water level went back down.
The only drawback, as others have mentioned, is that the clamp won't work in a tank with a plastic rim. I have plexiglass separating the chaeto section from the rest of the sump, so I was able to clamp the light onto that, but this would not have worked on the plastic rim of the sump (which I built from a standard 20-gallon glass aquarium).

Great light for aquarium plants!
I needed a light upgrade for my Marineland Contour 3-gallon aquarium (added water lettuce, was worried about the crypts and anubias in the tank not getting enough light), and this fit the bill perfectly. The clamp is sturdy on the plastic wall of the tank and fits nicely in the slot in the plastic lid. I found the set screws to be plenty sturdy, but I would be extra careful not to strip the threads. The light doesn't have an on/off switch, but I use a timer plug so it doesn't bother me. Ever since adding the light last week, my water lettuce has multiplied like crazy!

The light is bright for thw size. After a few days... noticed the arm broke. I need to get a replacement. But i think i might delay return to see how the lights does... like if i want to replace or just return? Not sure if it is a fluke? Using it with masking tape for now... lol, will update when i decide...
