Osunby LED Grow Light 75W UV IR Growing Lamp for Indoor Hydroponic Plants

Good quality and works as described

I really love these led grow lights! I just ordered 2 more for a total of 6 that I use at my indoor microgreen and seed starter station. When I first ordered one, about 6 months ago, I was somewhat skeptical. I had previously ben using T5 florescent lamps, and I got tired of replacing the lamps, ballasts, etc, plus the potential for damage/ shorts or whatever in a moist environment. So, I searched for a better solution that was cost effective, efficient and durable. I came across these babies, read all of the reviews, and decided to take the plunge. I'm really glad I did! The product arrived in a nice square box with bubble wrapping for protection. None of the units I've ordered have ever arrived damaged, so I'm thankful to the vendor and Amazon Shipping for their overzealous packing practices. These lamps arrive with a wire (kind of like miniature aircraft wire) hanger that attaches to the top of the unit at 4 locations, with clips on the ends at the mounting points. I didn't need the wire hanger, because I just attached alligater clips on the ends for easy repositioning instead. They seem sturdy enough for the weight of the unit, but the metal tabs can bend if you repeatidly detach and attach the clips to a mounting location, like I did, trying to hang these in the right spot for my needs. Also, I recommend removing the tabs from the existing locations at the front, rear and sides, and reinstalling them at the 4 corners. Just remove the small black screws and install the tabs where you like. I don't know why the manufacturer chose to put the tabs wher they were, but as I said, they can be relocated fairly easily. By the way, my microgreens proliferate at a distance of approximately 12 - 16 inches below the lights, and I can raise my sprouted seedlings to 6 inches without fear of burning or overheating. Plus I beleive these are much more enrgy efficient than what I was using before. Would definately recommend!

I was super excited about setting up a place to start vegetables and herbs indoors in the winter. With one one of these lights and a heating pad, and using good potting soil, I got very leggy plants--even the ones immediately below the light fixture. I purchased the same light again the following year and having the two gave me much better growth, but my plants were still pretty scrawny compared to those a friend started indoors. I can't say that my lack of success is entirely due to a lack of appropriate lighting, but adding light did improve the plant growth. I will keep trying. The cost of another light and another heating pad would be about what it would cost to to buy starter plants at the nursery, and I would hope to use them for multiple years.

I needed a smaller grow light to use with some seedlings and the Osunby 45W light attracted my attention. I've never owned a grow light before, but this one seemed like it would do what I needed. Shipping was quick and the light was easy to set up. Along with the light I also got the Osunby extension cord and timer and the Osunby adjustable hanging kit, both of which helped with set-up and will make controlling both the height of the light and the the hours it is on easy to adjust. It seemed the power cord that was supposed to be included with the light was missing. I reported this to the manufacturer who responded very quickly and addressed my issue without any hesitation. Customer service is a part of my business (as it should be part of just about any business), and I was very impressed with Osunby's response. Would that all businesses stood behind their products and service so effectively. I'm happy to say that I now have the light set up and working and am very happy with it. My seedling set up is fairly small, but this light fits the task very well, and at a very reasonable cost. I can easily expand the coverage, if I need to, with a second light. I can honestly strongly recommend this product.

I am putting this light through a 'trial' right now with an indoor kitchen herb box. Bought the seeds and starter soil. Set up the light and let 'er rip. It's been chilly at times here in SW Florida with winter approaching but within 5 days the seeds were popping. My little pre-Sea of Green is chugging along nicely with this light on for 18 hours a day. On warm sunny days, the seedlings go outside for some natural sunlight but back in at dark for artificial sunlight!! I'm very happy so far. I believe it's going to serve me well. Just right for my own little gardening! If you need light for a bigger area just buy more than one. My single is good for 3 foot by 3 foot. No heat from the lights is a huge plus. Can set that light right on top of the seedlings without them getting torched! Has a handy contraption with thin straps on all four corners coming together to a good sized hook. I set a chain up from my plant hanger on the ceiling and hooked the light low to the seedlings and can shorten the chain as the seedlings grow. Just a good all around simple rig for this gramma with simple needs!!!

I am using this as a means to start indoor gardening of vegetables. I am also testing an LED grow bulb from Home Depot. This item came packaged good and with everything needed to setup and start using. This is very simple, plug the power cord into the light fixture and it works perfectly. There is a cable hook system that comes with this item and it is great for those with a way to hook the light up above the plants. I will post another review of this product after 7 days, 15 days, and 30 days just to let everyone know if there are any issues. Again, I am also testing out a different LED grow bulb from Home Depot so I will also let everyone know which light does better. F.Y.I Yes, I am testing these lights with 2 separate seed starting kits that have the same seeds in each pod.

I grow heirloom peppers and had purchased five lights from another company that were in metal frames, had on off switches and truly put out the light that they advertised. Unfortunately one unit stopped working three weeks after I received it and I've yet to hear back from the seller in China. The lights don't appear to be available anymore so I doubt I'll get a replacement. In the meantime I had 50 pepper starts dying for some light. I purchased these one as a quick fix. They are inexpensive so the old adage is "you get what you pay for" is apropos. The arrived quick which was good. But these are very cheaply made lights. The are in a very light weight plastic frame, do not have on/off switches and don't hang quite as well as my old ones. Being square they do cover a larger area which is nice. The real down side is they are not very bright. They say they are 47 Watts. But you could fool me. More like 15 watts. I really don't expect them to last more than this season of two if I'm lucky but they will get me through for now. It's a shame that to get really good lights you will need to pay... a lot.

The product itself IS a 5 star product. But I had some problems with it. First reason for one star. It was mailed in the box the item comes in, only one end of box was taped, and the box doesn't stay closed very well. Second the power cord was missing. However... Some things I wish it had. I wish it had a dedicated, separate on/off switchs for the IR and UV lights. I don't think you necessarily need those all the time. I wish it had a fan to help cool it. Even after about an hour of use it is warm to the touch but not burning hot. Will amend review if it's scalding hot at end of 12 hours. Lastly the power cord directly affects the rotation of light. If your OCD like me it might take a few moments to get it square because the power cord I'm using is heavy and not pliable. Onto the good. It is BRIGHT! Very easy to set up, self balances itself. Has two ways to mount/hang. It draws 15.7 watts. It is built fairly well, the boards look to hold up for a good while. I recommend only useing it for 12 hours at a time. So if you need more than 12 hours of light I'd plan on ordering two. Or modify to accommodate heavy use at own risk. Overall. GREAT product. Definitely recommend. Just check your package for everything. It includes power cord, light, hanging hooks, and spec sheet.
