QL-30A Ultrathin 28 cm Bracket LED Light for Aquarium
The QL-30A is a 28 cm ultrathin bracket LED aquarium light for small tanks, delivering bright, even illumination from a slim profile that rests across the top of the tank on adjustable brackets. Its low-profile design takes up minimal space above the aquarium while spreading light evenly, and its energy-efficient LEDs keep running costs and heat low. A tidy, affordable lighting upgrade for small fish and lightly planted tanks.

- 28 cm length sized for small aquariums around 30 cm.
- Bright, even LED output for clear viewing and easy plants.
- Adjustable brackets that rest across the tank top.
- Energy-efficient and low-heat.

The QL-30A suits small aquariums around 30 cm where you want a slim top-mounted light that rests on the rim. It is ideal for fish-only display tanks and easy low-light plants. For full-spectrum nano planted growth, see the Sobo AL-180; for a bracket light on larger tanks, the Blue pet BR-30. See our what size aquarium light do I need.
How to use it
Rest the light across the tank on its brackets and run it 6–8 hours a day on a timer, with a dark night period. Keep the tank out of direct sun to control algae, keep the adaptor above water, and route the cable with a drip loop. See how many hours should aquarium lights be on.
