Hi all, I'm looking to upgrade the lighting on my 75g low tech planted tank. Currently i have 2x 48" HYGGER 24/7 strip lights. Aiming to get 2 pendants. I've got an ai prime on my 60 cube, which I love. But so expensive. $250 each, not including the bracket, so maybe there is a similar week aqua, netlea or chihiros light? I also jist tried the hygger 55watt ufo light, which was impressive for the price, but i found the color to be garishly red. Made my rotala look fake and my acara's eyes look demonic. Plus my partner hated the design of the lights. Anyone have any suggestions?

Requirements:
Dimmable
30-60 watts
Quiet fan
"Natural" color spectrum, or adjustable
Looks ok

Preferences:
Customizable scheduling feature
Intuitive app

Budget: $500

I have the T90. It won’t go on a rimmed tank as is, but you can buy an L hanger for it from Aquarocks Colorado.

Edit: I just remembered, I also had to buy these to make the hangers work:

It took 2 per light, so added a good bit to the price.

@Kwyet What’s your opinion on them? They look like they have a pretty focused beam and the colors aren’t as purple as the “P” series light bars
They’re a vast improvement over the Nicrew/Fluval combo that I was using, but I think the P series is better. I don’t need that on a low-tech tank like this though.
