Chihiros WRGB II Slim
The Chihiros WRGB II Slim is an LED system series, which serves the complete colour range of aquatic plants with its optimised design of RGB LEDs and lets the colours in the aquarium shine especially vividly. Compared to the classic WRGB II model, this lamp is only 15 mm thick and blends discreetly into any aquarium design without drawing attention away from the layout. The Chihiros – WRGB II Slim is also remarkable for its particular stability. At a relatively low power consumption, Chihiros ii slim series led lighting illuminates the complete tank with excellent light distribution angles and suites aquarium sizes from 30 to 140 cm length.
The Chihiros WRGB II Slim light-system is programmed via the “My Chihiros App” directly and does not need an additional commander. The app offers individual control over the three colour channels “R” (red), “G” (green) and “B” (blue), as well as individually programmable daily phases. Sunrise and sunset can be imitated, too. Additionally, Chihiros has installed various presets that can highlight certain types of plants with special colour settings. These presets can also be adjusted individually with the app, so that the best possible illumination can be achieved for each aquarium. With the chihiros wrgb ii slim series, there is no need for an external timer because all schedules can be saved as desired.
Features:
- Case colour: black
- 20 to 80 LEDs
- No additional commander needed
- EU power adapter and plug included
- 20 – 90 W power consumption
- 1.200 – 4.800 lm
- With variable holder
What is the best setting for Chihiros WRGB 2?
It is important to keep the correct spectrum when growing aquarium plants. It is not recommended to adjust the light too much. When you are setting either the Red, Green or Blue – you need to make sure to keep these settings within 5% of each other. For example, if you have adjust the Red spectrum, then the blue and green should not be more than 5% higher or lower than that of the red. This will help in promoting plant growth and slowing down algae growth. You can use the following percentages as a guideline for specific size aquarium and depth:
- 20cm deep : 35% on RGB
- 25cm deep : 40% on RGB
- 30cm deep : 60% on RGB
- 35cm deep : 80% on RGB
- 40cm Deep : 100% on RGB
- 45cm or deeper will require mulitple chihiros lights

Incredible light, I’ve bought 4 or 5 tanks of all price ranges for my tank, this one is the best by a long shot. The colour controls are great and let you tweak it to whatever you like, the app is good with auto settings so that you can customise your routines and then set and forget it. Highly recommend.
I’ve just ordered my second for another tank

Grows plants superbly – helps if you have CO2. Before I had CO2, I turned the brightness down to 50%. The phone app works well and allows you to adjust the timer. The Bluetooth timing desyncs with loadshedding, so you’ll need to reconnect your phone to the light to correct the time. Else get a WiFi switch either the Chihiros WiFi module or a WiFi smart switch.

Bought the chihiros light for my 60cm tank just over a month ago and this light is amazing. The colour spectrum is great for all types of plants and my plants in my tank is showing amazing growth with beautiful colours. From bright reds to orange to green. The time setting on the app helps with the automation in combination with the co2 system. Thanks for recommending this light McMerwe!

Love this light so much. Colours are great, it looks way more expensive than it is and works seamlessly. The app is easy to use and it’s an overall delight

What a great light, makes the fish pop out of the tank and makes their colours so much better

Was suggested to buy this light for my 55l planted tank! What an amazing light! Changed the whole look of my tank! Super satisfied!

The light did wonders for my plants in only a few days (after switching from a cheaper light). My Rotala Macrandra went from a pale brownish green to vivid pink/red. The only thing I changed was my light.
The companion app is a bit clunky and apparently support on it isn’t great, but so far it works fine. It’s cool that you don’t need a separate timer, the only problem I had was that after loadshedding my schedule that I set up through the app didn’t work and I had to go back into the app and reconnect the light. It would also have been better to have it connect via wifi instead of bluetooth so that you can control the light remotely (but there is a little wifi connector sold seperately)

It took me a while to justify the cost of these lights to myself, but the results from both plants and livestock is more than worth the cost. Before installing them my plants were growing well but once I installed the Chihiros lights they exploded with much more growth and more vivid colours. Only word of caution is to start off at a reduced intensity and ramp up to avoid hair algae while the plants adapt to the stronger lighting.
