This light is suitable for both beginners setting up their first tanks and seasoned veterans looking to upgrade their aquariums. It incorporates years of expertise in full-spectrum lighting, offering ease of use and programmability.

Function Description:

The primary function of the Hygger HG-999 is to provide comprehensive lighting for aquariums, simulating natural light cycles. It features a programmable design with an LCD monitor, allowing for gradual 24-hour light cycle settings that include both daylight and moonlight phases. This automation ensures that the light turns on and off automatically, mimicking the natural environment. The light offers a full spectrum, making it suitable for promoting the healthy growth of aquatic plants and enhancing the viewing experience for fish.

Usage Features:

The Hygger HG-999 boasts several user-friendly features that enhance its functionality and adaptability:

• Programmable Design with LCD Monitor: The integrated LCD monitor facilitates easy programming of the light's schedule. Users can set a 24-hour light cycle, including gradual transitions between daylight and moonlight, and configure automatic on/off times. This ensures a consistent and natural lighting environment for the aquarium inhabitants.

• DIY Brightness and Color Customization: This product allows for extensive customization across eight distinct time periods. Users can adjust the light color, brightness, and specific timings according to their preferences and the needs of their aquatic life. This flexibility enables the creation of unique and tailored lighting scenarios.

• Super Bright Illumination: Equipped with ultra-strong LEDs, the light provides more than sufficient brightness for clear and vibrant viewing of the aquarium.

• Adjustable Timer: The light's on/off times are fully adjustable via a timer, providing precise control over the lighting schedule.

• Flicker-Free LEDs: The LEDs are designed for stable performance, ensuring a flicker-free light output. This contributes to a more comfortable environment for both the fish and the observer.

• Extendable Bracket: The light comes with extendable brackets, allowing it to fit aquariums of various sizes. This adaptability makes it a versatile option for different tank setups.

• Standard Mode Operation:

  • Setting Local Time: Upon powering on, users can adjust the local time in hours using the up and down buttons, confirming with the gear button. Minutes are then set similarly, followed by a choice between "12H" or "24H" format.
  • Resetting Local Time: A long press of the gear button for 3 seconds allows users to reset the time, with the screen flashing to indicate the adjustment mode.
  • Setup Program (Day, Night, DIY Modes): Pressing the "M" button cycles through "51" (Day mode), "52" (Night mode), and "53" (DIY mode), each offering specific programming options.

• Day Mode (51):

  • Users can enable or disable the daytime timer ("DAY-L ON OFF") by pressing and holding the "M" button.
  • The "DAY-L ON" setting allows users to select the hour and minute for the light to turn on in the morning.
  • Brightness can be adjusted, though only white light brightness is selectable during normal daytime settings.
  • The "DAY-L OFF" setting allows users to select the hour and minute for the lights to turn off in the morning. The light then automatically adjusts to the set brightness and begins its cycle.

• Night Mode (52):

  • Accessed by pressing the "M" button twice, users can enable or disable the night timer ("MOON-L ON OFF").
  • "MOON-L ON" allows users to set the hour and minute for the lights to turn on at night.
  • Color selection is available for night mode (e.g., R 25% red, RG 30% orange, G 25% green, BG 50% cyan, B 25% blue, RB 50% purple), but brightness is not adjustable in this mode.
  • "MOON-L OFF" allows users to set the hour and minute for the lights to turn off at night.

• DIY Mode (53):

  • Accessed by pressing the "M" button three times, this mode offers 8 customizable time periods (L1-L8).
  • Users can enable or disable DIY mode, then set the starting and ending times for each segment.
  • For each segment, users can adjust the brightness of individual color components: "W" (white), "R" (red), "B" (blue), and "G" (green). This allows for precise control over the light's color temperature and overall brightness.
  • An example schedule demonstrates how different brightness levels of white light can be set across various time periods, with the final period (L8) set to 0% for light-off.

• General Tips:

  • The light can be manually turned off or on at any time by pressing the BULB icon.
  • Factory settings can be restored by long-pressing the down button and the colored button for 8 seconds until "SOP" appears on the screen.
  • The product features a slow switching process (within 3 minutes) during transitions to avoid abrupt changes in light intensity.

Maintenance Features:

The Hygger HG-999 is designed with durability and ease of maintenance in mind:

• IP68 Water-resistant Rating: The device is highly water-resistant, protecting it from splashes and accidental water drops. This rating ensures reliability and longevity in an aquatic environment.

• Premium Aluminum Shell: A 1.2mm premium aluminum shell provides effective heat transfer, preventing overheating.

• Full Sealed Process: The light features a fully sealed design that protects the internal components from humidity and water intrusion, eliminating the need for a fan and reducing potential points of failure.

• Low Voltage DC Adapter: The use of a low voltage DC adapter ensures safe operation and energy efficiency.

• Weekly Cleaning Recommendation: For optimal LED performance, it is recommended to clean the fixture weekly. This involves unplugging the transformer, removing the light from the aquarium, and carefully wiping exposed surfaces with a damp cloth to remove dust or mineral deposits. Harsh detergents or cleaners should be avoided to prevent damage to the fixture.

• Troubleshooting: If the light fails to turn on or the timer LCD display flashes without reaction, it suggests a potential adapter issue. Users are advised to contact support for a replacement adapter.

• Safety Precautions:

  • Always unplug the appliance from the electricity supply before placing hands in water, performing maintenance, or handling parts.
  • Never yank the cord to disconnect; always grasp the plug.
  • Do not install or store the appliance in freezing temperatures or exposed to weather. It is for indoor household use only and should not be immersed.
  • Ensure the appliance is correctly and securely mounted on the aquarium before operation.
  • If an extension cord is used, it must have the proper rating to prevent overheating. The cord should be arranged to avoid tripping or pulling.
  • The socket-outlet should be easily accessible.
  • A "drip loop" should be arranged in the power cord to prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle.
  • The appliance is not intended for use by persons with significantly impaired physical or mental capabilities unless supervised. Children should always be supervised.
  • Avoid touching moving or hot parts to prevent injury.
