Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does the UNS Titan 1 include a tank-mount leg stand?
No. The Titan 1 is an overhead pendant light designed to be suspended from the ceiling or mounted via overhead light stands like the UNS Light Hanging Bar.
2. Why is a wide chassis with a built-in diffuser better for planted tanks?
Narrow strip lights often create harsh shadows and high-intensity "hot spots" directly underneath the fixture. The Titan 1’s 11-inch-wide chassis and integrated flat diffuser scatter light rays evenly across the front-to-back depth of the aquarium, ensuring carpeting plants near the front glass receive equal light energy.
3. How high above the water column should I suspend the Titan 1?
We recommend hanging the Titan 1 approximately 12 inches (30.5 cm) above the top rim of your aquarium for optimal light spread and PAR distribution across standard display tanks.

No Bells and Whistles But Just a Darned Fine Light
"I recently got two of these to replace a couple of abysmal Chihiros RGB Slims. In less than a year I had to replace the bluetooth controller and LED panel for the Chihiros out of my own pocket--Chihiros does not support their warranty. I took it apart and fixed it half a dozen times. It would work for a while, then one or two of the colors would go out. The Ultum is beautifully made. It has no bells and whistles like an app or color adjustment. It has an on/off switch and that's all. But after a few days, my plants are popping. The stem plants have grown four inches and the anubias have sprouted new leaves. I miss having the ramp up feature (or, more accurately, my fish miss it) but we'll adjust. I used a simply $8 smart plug to get the on and off cycle. Hanging lights were harder to install than the Chihiros which sat on top of the tank, but they do look better. It wasn't cheap putting two lights and two mounting brackets on a 4 foot tank, but it looks like these are going to last a long time."
Amazing color
"Great light for my 90L."
Titan 1 LED
"This light is awesome. Brings so much life to my tank. Worth the price tag."
Excellent Lights Planted tank or not
"These lights are amazing. Super bright, very white, and definitely powerful. I purchased 2 of them for my 150 gallon 30 inch deep tank and one for my brand new UNS tank. They are the best lights. They are super light weight, they do not run hot at all. I cannot thank BucePlant enough for their excellent service. One of the lights showed up, and I am guessing had a power supply issue, and they quickly exchanged it out. They always have great service and have stood by any product they sell. Very happy with these lights. Currently looking into a 300 Gallon tank and these are the lights I will be going with for that tank. For the planted tanks, these have been great too. They have allowed a lot of growth of the new plants I also got from BucePlant."
Perfect range in colors. Makes
"Perfect range in colors. Makes the tank pop it true colors out"
Worth the investment in the hobby.
"Excellent. What a difference it makes. Aquarium looks beautiful."
Great light and strong illumination
"Great light and strong illumination well worth the money."
Great light so far, red
"Great light so far, red spectrum are brighter on fish..."
Beautiful light!
"I have an ONF Flat One 90cm and a Twinstar 600e, this light has the best color rendition by far and is super powerful. Only downside is it is not dimmable and im afraid even with it all thw way up on the UNS hanging bars, it may still be too much for a shallow iwagumi layout im doing. May have to plant a bunch of stems background to combat this. Stunning light though"
Titan 1
"Very happy with the light output and color rendition, have one hanging over my 40 breeder and plants are growing great"
Q&A
- Would this light have enough coverage for 60"Lx18"Dx24"D
- Hello, We recommend at least 2 units for a tank that is 60 inches long.
- I see that you recommend this light for UNS aquarium 90U (L 35.43"x W 22.04"x H 22.04") but not for the 90P which is slightly smaller (L 35.43"xW 17.72"xH 17.71"). I have a 90P and I would like to know if this light would bee too much for my 90P? if so, what light do you recommend for my 90P? By the way, is there a dimmer what would work with this light? Thanks in advance for your help.
- Diego, The UNS Titan 1 will work great for a 90P aquarium. The specifications show a range and one unit will work for aquariums around the 60CM-90CM scale. However, this light cannot be dimmed. Hope this helps! :)
