1. How is the C II RGB version different from the C II White version?
While the C II White uses high-density white LEDs with fixed color output, the C II RGB features 40 full-spectrum RGB 3-in-1 LEDs. This allows you to independently adjust Red, Green, and Blue color spectrum channels via the My Chihiros app to enhance plant growth and custom color aesthetics.
2. Can I use the Chihiros C II RGB Light on non-aquarium setups like Wabi Kusa or bowls?
Yes! For shallow bowls, terrariums, or Wabi Kusa displays without a glass rim to clamp onto, pair this light with the Chihiros C II Series Light Base (sold separately) for a stable, freestanding desktop setup.
3. Do I need an extra controller to program timers and dimming?
No extra hardware is needed! Bluetooth functionality is built directly into the fixture assembly, allowing you to connect directly with your smartphone to program automated timers, sunrise/sunset ramping, and custom color channels.

"I use 2 of these lights on my 60s tank and they are perfect for my higher tech needs on such a shallow tank. Bright, love the adjustable RGB, and the app is easy to operate. Love Chihiros brand as I also have 2 WRGB pros and a Vivid."
"Chihiros has a well earned reputation for great build and gorgeous lighting, and they have the best app out of all the lights I’ve tried (Fluval, ONF, Twinstar). If having app control and super customizable color profiles is important to you, def get this lamp over something like the ONF Flat Nano or other small strip lights."
"After a week of waiting on my new light I was excited to put it on my nano tank. Sadly, after about 5 minutes this anchor of a light broke a chunk of glass off my tank so it's now totally useless. So now I have a $130 light that is on a $150 tank with $200 in CO2 equipment that is all useless. I also have $75 in plants arriving tomorrow and now I guess I'll just light those on fire like the rest of the money I spend on this tank. I guess it was dumb to expect a nano light could go on a nano tank and not break off a side with the weight. Maybe next time I'll print out a million dollars so I can afford to buy all the accessories required to no ruin my tank. Buce isn't really at fault but I won't be buying from here anytime soon since I no longer need to."
"Bought 3. All work perfectly. The light is so strong I keep it at a lower setting. Well worth it to have Bluetooth capability."
"Great light for the price! Elegant and sleek!"
"It’s such a nice and neat light! Definitely a big upgrade from the one I had before"
"In this world apps that can control your lighting is everything to me. Love to be able to ramp up my sunrise and sunset. Change the level of each color to fit the needs of my plants, and lastly stylish."
"The app control is amazing for my geeky needs and I feel my ug is growing already, at just a week old."
