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.

Easy to control setting on

"Easy to control setting on the app. Love that it remembers the brightness setting if power is lost. This allows me to set the time on/off with a smarthome outlet instead"

Gary P. (5/5)

Works well

"I have purchased 2 of these! I really like them!"

Debi W. (5/5)

Fixes a problem

"I'm still not sure how I feel about this device. It definitely extends the functionality of the standard control, but the thing has a tendency to be problematic after a power outage. The device doesn't seem to recover the timer settings after power is restored. I've had to unplug and reset the timer in the app in these cases. This could be a big problem if you travel often."

Great Product

"Very pleased with this controller. The app is easy to set up and it controls all three of my tanks without any problems."

Beth L. (5/5)

Very unreliable

"I was losing my mind trying to figure out the cause of a surprise algae outbreak. Turns out this controller chronically changes the brightness back up to 100%. It usually keeps the timer schedule, but not always. I’ve tried everything to get this thing to work right, but I’m afraid it’s just a terrible product. The light itself is really nice, this controller is complete garbage"

Bluetooth adapter

"Works great! Make sure you set a timer though, mine kept turning on at midnight randomly lol."

Andrew D. (5/5)

"Definitely more superior than a regular home department store smart switch, having your aquarium light control in the palm of your hands on top to adjust intensity / colors etc. yeah sounds great to me!"

Gary (5/5)

Works great.

"Works great. Unfortunate that TWINSTAR lights are app controllable right out of their box, but this little device is perfect for controlling via app and setting and forgetting schedules."

Hilario R. (5/5)

added features to my basic light

"picked up a b-series light and wanted more control. this was perfect, added it in place of the push button controller and works great."

Dwayne J. (5/5)

Great addition

"Makes my 300S(SA) complete. Perfect."
