I just bought these grow lights because I want to start seeds growing for my garden this spring. I did a lot of research to make sure I got appropriate lights for this task. After searching options, these lights fit what I was looking for and were a decent cost. I obviously haven’t used them yet, so I can’t comment on their effectiveness. I’ll come back later and let you know how this turns out. However, once I received the lights, I did unpack them to look them over and turn them on. I can tell you the lights come in pairs and are very protectively packed. I’m keeping the boxes because they’ll be good for storage. The square frames are light weight, have a thoughtfully simple design and come with great little hangers, which I will use. The lights turned on immediately once plugged in and I could see the three colors of lights and how they were distributed. This is my first time working with LED grow lights. I look forward to seeing how they perform. I’ll let you know. Also, the lights arrived very timely, there was no waiting beyond the expected day of arrival. I knew right away when to expect delivery, which is always helpful. I also liked the information they provided about the lights when I was reading their listing.
**** I am now three months later and I can tell you that these lights have worked so well that I just ordered another pair as my plants are getting bigger and I need to cover more space. I planted tomato, pepper, eggplant, kale, broccoli, basil, marjoram and thyme seeds on March 15th, 2021. The tomato plants and eggplants were just transferred into bigger cups and I need to transplant the pepper plants now. I couldn’t believe the beautiful root development on all the plants, which tells me the plants are getting what they need. The tomato plants are fully developing their second and third layer of mature leaves. I lowered the lights to 12” above the little seed pots once the plants started popping up from the seeds. I had a 98% germination rate. I am about to raise the lights as the plants are getting taller and their main stalks are really nice and sturdy. I would definitely recommend these lights to home gardeners who want to start seeds inside to get a good start on their garden plants. We live in Zone 4-3 and our growing season is fast and short. ****
UPDATE: It is now 2 years later (2023) and I just purchased another pair of these lights, they should be here tomorrow. The original 3 pair that I started out with are still working really well. I hooked them all up 2 days ago and this year I will be growing WATERMELON!!! I am so excited and I hope all goes well as I so miss USA southern grown, seeded watermelon. Here in zone 3/4 it is really challenging to grow things like watermelon as our season is so short. So I have started them inside with 2 of the grow lights over them. This is my third time using the lights for starting my garden plants and they have been excellent each time!! All the little lights still work, they are easy to hang and raise or lower as needed (I use 2 inch binder rings for raising and lowering) and they are as bright as can be. I use them from mid-February through the end of April or mid-May depending on the weather. This early start really saves money and gives such a boost to getting ready for the garden. Once I am done using them for the spring, I put them back in the boxes they came in because the boxes store the lights and all the hardware really well. Now, I can HIGHLY recommend these grow lights.
