About this part

A lamp that sits flat in the lid opening can leave the air over the water warm and still. This vented light riser lifts the stock LED lamp up out of the light opening in the lid, so air moves across the surface and the light spreads over the tank in a lively pattern.

Compatibility
  • Fits: the Fluval Evo 13.5 gallon (52 L) and the Fluval Spec 16 gallon (60 L), with their stock LED lamp.
  • Does not fit: other lamps. The LED lamp is not included; the kit holds the lamp that came with your tank.
Why it helps
  • Lifts and vents the lamp for more air at the surface.
  • Six pieces (four side walls and two end walls) snap together with tongue-and-groove joints.
  • A wire trench keeps the LED cable tidy.
  • Looks like part of the tank, not an add-on.
Installation
  1. Snap the six pieces together. The video in our photos shows the order.
  2. Set the riser into the light opening in the lid.
  3. Seat the stock lamp on top and run its cable through the wire trench.
In the box

Item as described and working well! This is a well-conceptualized design. I installed it yesterday and so far I noticed that it has led to about a 3-degree temperature reduction, which is great. I think it also reduces the lighting somewhat, which is fine for me since my tank is already in a pretty well-lit area (Note: I use my Evo tank as a freshwater rather than a salt water tank). I found it easier to just try installing it without closely following the instructions and video (I did refer to these, but it was easier to just get hands on the items and try it out. It was pretty easy to figure out). I noticed other reviewers saying that they glued the pieces together. I don't see why that would be necessary, assuming you installed it correctly. Once the light is attached, it is a very solid and stable piece.

Fluval Spec 16 adding the Fluval Plant 3.0. I am looking for something that will enable me to use the plant light on this tank while detracting minimally from the cover’s aesthetic. This is NOT the solution BUT it is a step in the right direction.

The plant 3.0 light has a better fit when using this though the mount is still at an angle & the cord bows out awkwardly on one end and the other end extends slightly above the feeding aperture. The vents detract from the tank -which is still in an early stage of the build- but nonetheless the light they create directs the eye to an area not meant to be seen. Ultimately, I think I am looking for a seamless way to blend the plant 3.0 light onto the spec 16 -something that could certainly produced with a 3d printer. **i used superglue to keep pieces together -except on middle joints

Does what it says it does, looks pretty nice as well, its a little finicky to put together but overall great

Looks good, and the vents allow some air movement but still prevents any escapees

The fitment was good, nice product.

the shipping was USPS's fault, not the seller's.
I use it on spec 16 with a Fluval Plant programmable LED light. The lifting vent improves the light's fit.
This does cause shadow areas on the sides. I will try Aluminum duct tape as a reflector/diffuser.
I am pleased with this purchase.

10/10 light lift for the fluval evo 13.5, I've been using for a few months now and love it! Totally prevents any water damage due to evaporation or splashes. Plus, (personally) I think the tank looks better with the elevated light. Thank you so much for this awesome "contraption" :)

It is perfect for my 13.5 and has helped drop the temp by several degrees. Going to order another one for my other tank. I do wish we could choose shipping speed though I’d pay a little more just to get it faster than a week and a half

Fits Fluval Evo 52ltr /Fluval Spec 60ltr lid perfectly. Used Superglue to secure the pieces once I’d worked out how they all fitted together. Raises a Fluval aquasky 12W 15-24”(given up on the useless supplied Fluval lights (3 dead in 18 mths)) out of the air bubbler splash zone and also prevents our suicidal danios and tetras from trying to fly.
No additional customs charges incurred to the UK and all well packaged.

Thankyou for a well made 3D printed solution

A little delicate if you’re not careful, make sure you pay attention to the orientation of all the pieces before you put it all together!
