GROWSTAR 1000W LED Grow Light, 12-Band Double Chips LED Plant Light Full Spectrum with UV IR for Hydroponic Indoor Plants Veg and Flower Daisy Chain (100Pcs 10W LEDs)

Uses:So I have always wanted to try using an LED light over my old florescent setup. Every year my wife and I grow a garden and one of the things I love the most is baby bell peppers. These require about 30-45 days indoors to get big and healthy enough for them to survive outside. Another is tomato plants that my wife loves. We usually use a larger florescent setup that ironically doesn't put out near as much light as this does. This thing is like turning on a sun in your house bright. So bright that when I turned it on the first time without even looking at the grow light itself made my eyes hurt for a second trying to adjust to it. There is also other differences such as this light actually has UV LEDs and inferred which plants need to be used to before going outdoors. The other really nice thing is it comes with hangers so I can simply attach it to the same hanger system I was using with my previous setup.Build Quality:The Grow light's body is solid metal with what appears to be a 120mm fan inside. It draws air from the back and pushes it over the board inside. Looking into the front of the light the LEDs appear very well soldered to the board and come with a thick piece of glass covering them to protect the front but let as much light through as possible. On the back it appears to have a all in one type plug that accepts literally any type of plug you could imagine to allow you to daisy chain them. It has a sticker indicating that it can only handle 1,000 watts so you could theoretically daisy chain 5 of these lights together which is quiet nifty. I don't know if this is a limitation of the cable or the internal plug or both but I'm guessing I wouldn't push it. Speaking of the switch when turning it on it makes a strong heavy "click". Know it probably doesn't mean much but I always like electronics to have a quality feel.Grow Quality:So far I just have little sprouts so nothing to write home about but they do appear to have come up a earlier. One thing I will point out is that this light uses give or take 200 watts at the wall taken with a kill-a-watt meter. The light intensity is so much more powerful than my 432 watt lighting system I was using. I assume its due to the bulbs slowly getting older where as this LED will glow bright as day for years.Summery:I will try to upload some pictures of how they turn out when they get bigger but so far I really like the light. I like that it has some UV and IR in the lamp to give the plants more of a feel of the sun when I move them outdoors. I also like that it consumes over half of what I was using watt wise. I am honestly debating if I should expand how many sprouts I make and expand the garden a bit. Anyways A+ for price and quality from me.

One of the most confusing things about LED grow lights is the HID replacement "equivalent" wattagesThese are generally misleadingPulling a true 200 watts, this light is less powerful than most of the "600 watt" units, so the labeling is confusing. Let's put that aside to give you the best picture of the light overall.The chips are bridgeluxe and epistar, which i have gotten results from beforehand.This light is best suited to a single plant and should be sufficient to yield between 4-7 ozs depending on strain.The footprint on these lights during flower is why I recommend a single plant setup if you're going to use this light. In flower you want to be a foot away, and at that point it's coverage area is just beneath the light.The price to watt is not bad, but if you expect this to put off anywhere near the amount of light or footprint that any HPS does, you will be disappointed.

Well, I just got this light today. I hooked it up and it lights VERY brightly!I have a YouTube Channel where I grow 420 things. I am doing this review so early on because, I already know this style of light because I own 6 others. I needed one more for my flower area.Upon opening the box I was very excited to see that it comes not only the hanging kit be the adjustable hanger as well. This is a $5 value. My other lights cost me $20 more per unit. So, this right of the bat, saved me $25! Not to mention is IS daisychainable :-)I have the light installed and hovering over my plants and it is every bit as bright as my others, if not more!Are there better lights out there? ABSOLUTELY! However, for the price range??? Not even close!To all of my 420 brethren growers, THIS IS THE ONE YOU WANT!!!

Great light for my office plantsI’ve seen great growth in my pepper plant starts with this light. This light emits the wavelengths 380-800nm; and the main wavelength is 660nm, so you promote photosynthesis, accelerate sprouting, blooming, fruiting of your plants. I love that this light doesn’t have the red tint that you get in a lot of grow lights. This makes it easy on my eyes and allows me to use this to grow plants in my office (and gives me extra light to read by as well). The gooseneck design is very flexible and versatile. I can adjust the height and angle of the light as my plants grown. The bulbs are also replaceable, although it will be a long time before you need to do that!

Very bright light for the money, it is heavy on the red side of the spectrum Wich is ideal, there was a study recently that found that anymore than a 10-20% blue is basically a waste and ends up working against you. They've balanced the blue/red ratios perfectly in this light. The double chips make for some extremely intense light that has no problem penetrating the lush, green vegetation and thick stems this light creates. Yields and quality are superb making for dense and boastful hsrvests. This light is well worth the money I paid for it, and will pay for itself in no time with its incredible efficiency. The ratchet hanger made setup a breeze. Growstar knows what indoor gardeners are looking for, and have really delivered with this light

Big leaves doing good started from baby clones and they have been under this light two weeks and their throwing tops like crazy!! I recommend this to anygrow in any level of exprerience

Ordered this product and received it within the time frame. Initially excited but soon disappointed after realizing the American style power cord was not included as pictured in the advertisement. Likely will send the product back.
