Why the light return to manual on or off status when the light was in timer mode during a power outage? After a power outage, the time will need to be set. If the power is back up again, the light will return to the previous status before the timer mode is enabled. Therefore, turning off the light is recommended before choosing the timer mode. 2. Why it takes less 15 minutes to ramp up/dim down? It will take 15 minutes to ramp up from 0% to 100% (or dim down from 100% to 0%). As the intensity decreases, the ramp up/dim down time will be proportionally shorter. For example, if the light ramp up to 50% intensity, the ramp time will be half of 15 minutes. 3. Can I use this controller with other brand LED light? Yes, any 5 - 24V DC light up to 5A using a 2.1 x 5.5 mm barrel connector is compatible. Please check with your LED lighting manufacturer for any compatibility information. Review: VERY Pleased. - No more forgetting to turn off the aquarium light. This is easy to use.

This is easy to use. Connects to all my different tank lights. Kicks off and on. Helps keep the tank perfectly lit. Great price also. I bought 1 then purchased 3 more. So use it in all my tanks ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great timer *by S***5 on May 2, 2026* I am able to dim the aquarium light as well place it on a timer. ### ⭐ Do not buy, I have had two since Dec 13, 2022, second purchased on Feb 8, 2024, both have failed! *by G***N on February 9, 2025* I wrote very positive or very negative reviews only generally. This is a bad one! I have purchased two of these exact same pieces now, the first on December 13, 2022, and the current one on February 8, 2024 - BOTH HAVE BURNED OUT ALREADY! I bought the same one again, only because this piece has good reviews, and I suspected I just was unlucky and got a lemon! Nope, as both have burned out way too fast! I highly suggest you buy something else. To answer the obvious, neither have gone into the water, because I have made sure that would not happen; neither have been pulled on, so the cords were fine as they are tucked out of the way - they simply stopped working! I will never buy this fish tank light timer ever again, as it has clearly been a waste of money! I highly suggest not buying it! I even went back to check on the ratings just now, and was surprised to find them still getting a 4 star rating with 811 reviews just a moment ago! I like the concept, the ways it works - when it works, but it has poor quality electronics, and fails way too easily! Buy a different one! ## Frequently Bought Together - NICREW Aquarium Light Timer&Dimmer, Easy to Program Fish Tank Light Controller - PAIZOO Fish Tank Digital Thermometer Accurate LED Display to ±0.9°F Tank Thermometer Aquarium Temperature Measurement Suitable for Fish, Axolotl, Turtle or Aquatic - Petbank Automatic Fish Feeder for Aquarium - Moisture-Proof and Precision Feeding Betta Vacation Feeder, USB Rechargeable Auto Fish Food Dispenser with Timer,LCD Display --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/245243143-nicrew-aquarium-light-timer-and-dimmer-easy-to-program-fish](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/245243143-nicrew-aquarium-light-timer-and-dimmer-easy-to-program-fish) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-26*
