The Nicrew ClassicLED Plus Aquarium Light Bracket is the budget-friendly clamp for hobbyists who need a simple, reliable mount without spending on brand-specific or heavy-duty options; it fits many low-profile LED strips and is easy to attach to standard tank rims. While it lacks the articulation of the Kessil gooseneck and the long-term rigidity of Current USA’s flexible mount, its low price and wide compatibility make it an economical choice for planted tanks on a tight budget. For beginners or those running small lights like the ClassicLED series, Nicrew delivers acceptable performance at the lowest cost among the listed mounts.
