All aquariums have a daylight system. These must be turned off at night for your fish to experience normal day/night cycles. The problem is you can't see your fish! The R2 Moonlight replicates moonlight in a tank and creates a great ambiance at night in your aquarium for viewing your fish (a beautiful, blue, shimmering, moonlight ambiance in the room) and is healthy for your fish as it mimics the light of the moon which influences feeding and spawning behavior. The wavelength of the R2 Moonlights provides optimal viewing for an ideal natural nighttime environment for aquarium fish, invertebrates and photosynthetic corals.We offer our signature series moonlight strips in 24 inch, 36 inch and 48 inch sizes. These lightweight durable compact strips utilize ultra blue LEDs spaced at intervals of 2 inches to ensure complete coverage resulting in a beautiful shimmering moonlight effect (Our 48” model has an incredible 24 LEDs). These compacts are designed to be installed in the same manner as regular aquarium lights, above the acrylic or glass cover. The compact size allows for the R2 Signature Series lights to easily sit beside conventional daylight lighting systems.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

A Really Nice Light!
The first time I ordered this light was from "That Fish Place". Great online store with very good prices, but the light was DOA. The power supply was hot, figured a defective PS, so I returned it. No problem with these folks either, send shipping label, just like Amazon. But they have to check it out, then send you another or refund you, about 2 weeks. So I ordered it here, I have Prime, got it yesterday, 2 days. This time I checked it before running the wires and setting it up. I have a timer, when the day light go out the moonlights go on, simply beautiful. Yes the wire plugs in the side of it, but I don't have a canopy either, sits behind my day lights, can't even see it. On thing, you don't get any instructions, owner's manual, warranty info, nothing, just a bag with some adhesives and screws, does have an on/off controller. But none the less, a great light, wonderful affect. I'm 60 yrs old and have had aquariums most of my life and pretty much know my stuff. So if you...

2 units purchased, @ 1 yr life expectancy.
Purchased 2 units total. Second was ordered after first one burnt out. Good when they work, although you can see each individual beam going into water which is kinda expected so be warned (it disperses light well enough once past the the first 6-8 inches of water depth). i also have it mounted directly above water on glass shelf so that may be the issue.
First unit only lasted a little over a year and several LED's had burned out in a few sections. Purchased replacement and second unit lasted 13 months and experienced exact same thing (a few sections completely burned out and others are flickering. 2 stars for being acceptable for a year. Quality/Durability is poor/unacceptable so be warned that it will be nice for about a year. Looking for other inexpensive alternatives.
Poor Design but nice effect
I agree with the other reviewer that it was a really stupid idea putting the power cord coming out the end of the light fixture. In order to fit under a canopy the wiring has to be jerry-rigged (aka a small hole in the side of the canopy to run the plug through. Very stupid design!
The light effect itself is very nice moonlight look, more purplish than moonlight but nice and subdued so as to not upset the fish. I love having it on for a couple hours in the evening!
