WEEKAQUA
  • $172.00

This has UV LEDs. It's a unique feature that is very uncommon in modern aquarium lights. However, it is questionable in whether UVA light has an influence on plant growth.

Entry level high-end light from a well known company! A great introductory to high-end lighting systems at an affordable price! It's missing a bit of features that other high-end lights offer.

Chihiros
  • $250

One of the best high-end lights that will almost break your wallet. It has Bluetooth capabilities so you can control everything from a phone application! 100% worth the price, however, it can be easy to over so the it so be careful when adjusting it!

High-end lights from Fluval that boats the most in-depth customization features I've ever came across. Customizations are done through their mobile app.

Great high-end light that can rival the Chihiros WRGB 2! Price is the only issue… Spectrum also a tad weaker than the WRGB 2.
