CREATE BRIGHT Led Grow Light Bulb, 60W Plant Light Bulb Full Spectrum Led Grow Bulb E26 Grow Plant Light for Indoor Plants,Hydroponics Greenhouse Organic,Pack of 1

These lights are very bright and work GREAT FOR GROWING.. but don't put them too close to your plants as you can actually give them light poisoning.They are full spectrum and all my plants have responded wonderfully.With varying the on-time I have even been able to grow and fruit hot peppers indoors!The one negative thing about these lights is that they get kind of hot if left on for 12 hours or more. This causes about 1 in every 6 bulbs to need a few drops of super-glue to hold the plastic base to the aluminum heat fins. After I did that I have had no problems at all.

How many stars to put is difficult, because I liked the light itself.I loved the light so much, that I have almost bought more since then.Loved that it was easy to screw in a normal light fixture thingy.But they did not last as long as I expected. I apologize, I made a note of the time period, but have lost it.So, I like the concept, but I found these to be very poor quality. Each light in the set, installed on the same light switch circuit, so they would have been on during the exact same time period, ran out of life at different times.I did have them on a LOT, but in my opinion, they still should not have run out so soon.Having said that, maybe ? they have improved since then.I purchased mine +- 2 years ago, by now.Every time I almost buy another set, I don't because of the lousy time span. But if budget isn't a concern, I would re-buy anyway.Maybe (: one of these days, I will !!

1. Package arrived on time and packed very well.2. I'm using these grow lights to supplement my herbs in pots that I brought indoors for the winter. Several mint plants and a Stevia plant.3. I've suspended 2 light fixtures over 4 pots with a splitter in each bulb base to accommodate the 4 grow lights. They hang about 8 inches above the plants.After about 2 weeks of tender care, I have not noticed much at all. So I did a test. I swapped out 2 of the grow lights with 2 standard home depot leds (daylight versions, not soft white) and gave 2 plants 3 days or so of each lighting to see if I saw any difference. Not TOO much, but I did notice that the plants gravitated towards the regular leds. The leaves and stems leaned towards them as plants will do. But the plants under the grow lights showed no movement at all. So I rotated them out, and moved the 2 plants that were under the grow lights, and placed them under the regular leds, and vise versa. Low and behold, those plants shifted and leaned towards the regular leds. It may not be scientific, but seems like the regular home depot leds got some reaction, while the grow lights got almost none.4. These Create Bright Leds are HOT! The cooling fins on the side are definitely needed. I went to unscrew one of them after unplugging it and ouch! Let them cool for a few minutes. Put your hand under the lights while they're on, and its not very hot at all, but boy, the fins and base are hot! I put my kitchen thermometer in between the fins and it got up to 150 degrees! Which brings me to point 5.5. Screwing them into the socket is a breeze, but unscrewing them is a challenge. See pic. But they are reverse threaded where the base connects to the bulb. Meaning that when you unscrew the bulb from your light socket, the actual part that is in the socket will stay in there, and your actually unscrewing the bulb housing from the base, exposing the inner workings of the bulb itself, wires and all. So I guess the solution is NOT to screw them in to tightly in the first place, otherwise you'll have difficulty removing them all together. Ever have a incandescent bulb shatter and you have to dig and fish out the metal part that's stuck in the socket? Kind of like that, so its something to be aware of. Seems like that connection should've been sealed or something to make it easier to unscrew.6. I'll keep testing these things, adjusting the heights perhaps and monitoring the growth, but so far, its not the glorious growth I'd hoped for. They thrived outdoors up until I brought them inside, now they seem to be on a holding pattern.

I have a few indoor house plant's that during the winter month's, they could use a little extra light. Most of my plant's get great sunshine in the morning to the west side in the afternoon, but some of my lower leaves could use the help. This 28 watt, full spectrum LED, e26 base light will supply just enough light for continued growth until they are back outside for the summer. I have 3 other LED light's on other plant's that I use during the winter month's, knowing that they will stay healthy with the extra light needed during the long cold season. This 28 watt " soft white" light output is about 530 lumens with a life span of about 30,000 hrs. My " lower leaves " are growing nicely and they thank me for the extra light.

My plants seemed to respond to this well to get them thru the winter after moving them inside. It does have a strong red glow which make the plants look different when it is on due to the color shift. very satisfied with the light pattern and brightness and the results.

These lights are tiny. They appear to be a flood light sized from the pictures. When you read the description it eludes to sound as if they are meant for a greenhouse. These are not meant for a greenhouse or even a 1 pint plant. Maybe a doll house greenhouse. Save the time and money. Phillips plant light seems to be the way to go. Ranges from 50 W - 120 W and it is the size that you need for a greenhouse. I bought them at Home Depot for $7 a piece so total 4 were less than what I paid for these. I am sure amazon sells them as well. Wish I had known ahead of time.

Plants seem to have done better this winter than in previous years without the grow lights. I noticed that after a few months the leds started going out. One bulb went out after a few weeks use, the others slowly faded out on me. I had to replace one bulb with a different brand buld just to keep things going. I barely made it to spring. Not sure why the didn't last as long as expected. I'll have to research and see how other brands perform.

I used this as a hanging light above my fish tank. It worked great for 2 days and one day i notice the light is pointing to the wrong spot. I take a look and the aluminium separated from the plastic. It seemed like the aluminium heated up enough to expand and fall off, but it wasn't very hot as I could hold it comfortably in my hand.
