From the picture it looks like the water tank is lighted. Is this true? I want a unit for my bedroom but I like it as dark as possible.

I find the LED lights to be less than the typical night; but if they bother you they can be easily cover with an index card and a little tape. Also at the low fan setting I find it to be very quite with a slight hum that is easy to ignore.

The water tank does not light up. But there are 2 tiny blue lights on the display indicating speed and humidity level and those are quite bright. Mine is in the living room and it definitely acts as a night light.

It is very dark not lighted - some complain they can't see the water level. I have a small light next to it at night - It reflexs the light enough to see the water level.Don't need it in the daytime a full tank lasts me 3 days running it on low - It runs about 10-12 hrs a day.

No, it is not lighted. There are just two small LEDs on the control panel to indicate ON/OFF and speed settings for the fan. Very dim, it should be fine for you.

There is no light illuminating the Tank. However, the LED control panel does emit some light that is noticeable at night

It does not have a light. Very good unit. Use it at work to control humidity in print room. Works very well. Would buy again.

The tank is not lighted. But there is a bright blue LED next to the buttons.

The water tank is colored blue and semi transparent but not lit. The lights are from the control panel which are blue but not bright enough to disturb sleep.

There is an orange light that is on when the heater is active. It isn't very bright, though. I still only see it faintly when it's dark in the chicken coop and I go to put in more water. It is only on, when the heater is actually heating, not always.

It s really low glow. a faint glow can be seen from the emitter. This unit also has two status lights on the front that need to be covered.

I can't say for sure, but certainly not enough that you notice it on a household light bill. The tank is pretty well insulated, considering it's holding 200 degree water and only feels slightly warm.

the lights can't be chained togeather. When I had my lights in the water on the bottom of the aquarium, I didn't like the look. You could see each LED lite. I have them ontop of the tank shining down into the water. Much nicer, I think

No on/off switch comes with it. You could plug it into a power strip which has a switch though.1 gallon might be too small for the intensity of the light. However, if you cover/mask the light well enough, it would be pretty cool. I say go for it, and get creative with disguising the light. Your tank will still pretty much be fully lit...could be kind of cool or even creepy depending on how you do it.

Lemme ask the end user.... .... Ok. She says: It's fairly dark, really dark inside. She'd like some windows. And a fan. And a catnip tree. She doesn't seem to think about the outside much, but thinks it's a fairy dark tone with not much in the way of red or burgundy overtones. Her only real complaint was that I wasn't playing with her more while I was trying to assemble it. So she sat in the shipping box. She doesn't care that I think it looks rather classy in the bathroom, when an open box would suffice.

Yes water needs to flow before the lights go on. The lights tell water temp so no water no lights. It pretty pretty good too.

I neither purchased the light, nor put any plants into the no clean aquarium. But the fish really need a place to "hide" every once in a while. So we created a cave with sea shells that works quite well. Anyways, good luck & let us all know what you decide to decorate your tank.

I gave the unit away as a gift, but I believe it was backlit. I tried it before I gave it away. The person I gave it to loves it,by the way.

I didn't realize it was a blue light only, I thought it was a regular white light and blue light tank. I only have my betta in the bowl. You would have to ask an aquarium shop if the breeed of glo fish is a jumper or not. That is my best advice.

I would not recommend this light if you are looking for bright lighting. The light only focuses on the middle of the tank, leaving darker spots on the edge. My 10 gallon tank has this problem, where it is insufficient light.

Yes! I just got mine today and it's even dimmer than the dim one that came with the tank setup that I was trying to replace. Extremely disappointing, after so many great reviews. :(

I have mine in my bedroom, and it does leak out light. It's not a shining light or bright light the displays on other air purifiers I have. Depending on the angle you look at it, you can see a couple thin strips of light and then a light orange light from the operation level (low, high, auto) button. All-in-all, the lights that show are very, very dim.

What you see in the picture is what you're paying for: the tank, light, and filter. I'd invest in a blue light strip for night time viewing.

The unit is a plant grow light--it mimics the spectrum of light needed by plants--more of a daylight bulb--specific to plants and aquariums. Hope this helps
