Very strong light, I have had it for a year now and it holds up just fine.
Ideal for a planted aquarium, but the downside is that there is no dimmer.
And it can easily create algae.
For the timer issue, you can easily find a solution.
Very economical.
I am rewriting after two years.
The light fixture has the same power.
Even though I have it in a fully planted aquarium, I have reduced the brightness with a mesh screen.
In terms of durability, it is definitely worth it.
