Description
Description
The Lightground RGB is a dual-zone illuminated background panel from The Lightground, designed to mount on the outside of your aquarium's rear glass and light your entire tank from behind. Unlike a single-color LED strip, it uses two independently controlled RGB sections — one for the upper half of the tank, one for the lower — so you can blend two colors into a smooth gradient, run a single solid color, or switch to plain white light for daytime viewing.
Why Aquascapers Choose It
- Two independent zones, one panel — control the top and bottom sections separately for gradients that a single-zone light physically cannot produce.
- Full RGB spectrum — mix any two colors from the spectrum to match your aquascape's mood, from a warm sunset gradient to a cool blue-to-white reef look.
- True white mode — when you don't want color, the panel switches to a clean white background light, just like a standard Lightground panel.
- App control via Tuya / Smart Life — set schedules, save color presets, and trigger lighting effects from your phone. The Tuya ecosystem also supports Alexa and Google Home for voice control.
- Slim, low-profile build — 18.5 mm panel thickness with a 10 mm front frame, so it disappears behind the tank rather than dominating the room.
- ~10-minute installation — hangs directly on the back glass with the included hooks. No tools, no drilling, no cutting glass.
Who It's For
Built for planted tank owners and aquascapers who want their layout to be the visual centerpiece of a room — not just lit, but staged. It works equally well for a high-tech Iwagumi display, a dramatic reef tank, or a living-room showpiece aquarium where you want the tank to look different for movie night than it does during the day. If you run social content or photograph your tank often, the gradient effect gives you a background that changes on demand instead of a flat, static color.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I run two different colors at the same time?
Yes — that's the point of the dual-zone design. Set one color on the top section and a different color on the bottom, and the panel blends them into a gradient across the tank's background.
Will this light affect plant growth?
No. The Lightground RGB is a background/accent light mounted behind the tank — it's not intended to replace your main grow light. Use it alongside a dedicated plant light (like a Chihiros fixture) for growth, and the Lightground RGB purely for the visual backdrop.
Does it work with saltwater and reef tanks?
Yes. Since it mounts externally on the back glass, it works with both freshwater and saltwater setups without any contact with the water itself.
Can I control it with Alexa or Google Home?
Yes. The panel connects through the Tuya / Smart Life app, which integrates with Alexa and Google Home for voice control alongside the standard app controls and schedules.
Do I need any tools to install it?
No. The panel hangs on the back glass using the included hooks — no drilling, no adhesive, no glass cutting. Most tanks are done in about 10 minutes.
Pairs Well With
A gradient backlight is only as impressive as the plants it's lighting up. For the color and density that actually shows off under RGB illumination, pair this panel with 2Hr Aquarist APT 3 – Complete Fertilizer, our all-in-one NPK fertilizer built for high-tech planted tanks.
