Twinstar LightControl
Product Overview
The Twinstar LightControl is a professional Bluetooth aquarium lighting controller that turns your smartphone into a high-tech command center. Designed for scapers who demand precision and efficiency, this module allows you to implement complex lighting schedules that mimic the natural cycle of the sun. Compatible with a wide range of Twinstar LED fixtures, including older models, it connects seamlessly to the Twinstar app.
Key Features & Benefits
- 24-Hour Programmable Timer: Customize your photoperiod with exact on/off times to ensure your planted aquarium lighting remains consistent day after day.
- 25-Day Light Planner: Gives meticulous scapers the ability to map out custom schedules over nearly a month, ideal for ramping up intensity on new setups or managing light during algae control routines.
- Extended 60-Minute Sunrise & Sunset: Offers a full hour of gradual ramping to provide a smooth, stress-free daylight transition for skittish fish and shrimp.
- Instant Smartphone Brightness Control: Make real-time adjustments to spectrum and intensity directly from your mobile device for routine tank maintenance or crisp photography.
- Backward Compatibility with Older Models: Connects easily to legacy Twinstar fixtures. For inline models, simply set the manual dimmer to 100% power and ensure all 3 timer LEDs are illuminated to bypass the manual timer.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the 25-day light planner work on the Twinstar LightControl?
The 25-day light planner allows you to pre-program automated changes in light intensity and photoperiod across a 25-day timeline. This is especially useful for slowly acclimating new plants in fresh aquascapes or stepping down light levels during algae treatment cycles.
2. Can I use the LightControl module with older Twinstar LED models?
Yes! To use it with older inline models, set the original inline controller to maximum brightness (100%) and ensure all 3 indicator LEDs are lit so the built-in timer is bypassed, allowing the Bluetooth module to take total control.
3. Does the controller lose its schedule during a power outage?
No. Once programmed via the Twinstar app, settings remain saved. When power is restored, re-connecting via Bluetooth on your smartphone will quickly sync the internal clock to resume your active schedule.
