Customer Reviews

Easy to assemble, super bright natural light. Within a week I see the plants looking towards this lamp as it has a light spectrum closer to the sun than anything else I have. Will get another one soon.
UPDATE: 4/15/2010:: Bought a second unit via Amazon.. They must have recently changed design as now it is a bit different from the picture. Exactly same bulb(very bright/very good) but the mogel base is different. The older design (pictured) has elongated base with the electrical cord coming out of the rear totally clearing the back of the dew guard (reflector). This allowed the unit to be flush against a wall (vertical mount)or ceiling (horizontal mount) or on any flat surface and project its light outwards.
The new version: the rear end is shorter and the electrical cord is coming out of the back. This causes the unit to not be able to lie completely flush against any surface. Out-of-the-box it will be tilted some at best. To remedy this, I bent slightly the bulb base metal where the mogel base is soldered to the reflector. This did solve the problem but I appreciate the older design more. The newer design makes the whole unit an inch or so shorter, probably to be able to fit into a smaller box. Anyways it appears to be working just as well. Again easy to assemble and super bright natural looking light.
Originally gave it 5 stars. With the design change I still give it 5 stars as it was easy to modify w/o tools. If you are going to suspend from the hanger hooks then the design change doesn't matter at all. Still a great reflectorized grolight on the cheap...

Arrived in good condition. It's hard to imagine how it could get broken the way it was packed; very professional packaging. The quality is good and the unit works as expected. Bright enough for my small (1.25' X 4') hydroponic lettuce garden. For a small area or for supplemental light in a larger area, this unit is perfect. It is nice that it can handle a 200W fluorescent bulb and comes with bulb supports for both the 125W and 200W bulbs.
