Aquarium Smart Light

thingiverse

Salt creep killed my aquarium light so I went to buy a new one and WOW THEY'RE EXPENSIVE, so I did some looking and found out that under cabinet lighting is basically the same thing! (If you have live plants don't do this, the spectrum actually matters for live plants and I can't guarantee this will work for live plants If you try it leave a comment!). Turns out Sylvania smart lighting makes a super cheap under cabinet light thats the perfect size for my 29 gallon aquarium. I had placed it on top of the glass but just didn't like the look so I decided to design a cover for the light. I printed it in 3 pieces on my Prusa mk3s and then used a 3d printing pen to 'weld' the pieces together from the inside. I included the full STL as well in case someone has a massive printer or if someone wants to remix it! The cool thing about these lights is that 3 of them can be strung together with one controller so remixing this part and making it longer would make it work for upwards of a 100 gallon aquarium! Note: This is a Z-wave light so it requires some type of wireless controller whether it be smarthings, amazon alexa, or Sylvania's own hub.
