So I didn't leave a review when I first got this product as I didn't wanna leave a review on its looks and build quality or packaging quality etc. All of these things were perfect.I wanted to leave a review after I had finished a growing season and started a new one. The reason for this is obvious, how does it hold up and what were my results like?On first impressions, this looks and feels like a quality product that also has good quality packaging. In the box there were instructions and mounting equipment.Straight out of the box, I was in love, it had that kind of weight to it that makes it feel quality and the mounting equipment gave me confidence that it would not waiver. The dial for controlling the intensity was also very good and felt smooth.Set up was easy and after watching a few videos on what intensity was recommended for my plants, I was off to the races.I had a small 60 x 60 x 120cm grow tent that this was fitted into and you can see the results I had from growing chilli peppers and peppers. Sun loving plants that also require copious amounts of heat.My main draw to this grow light vs competition - no fans, no noise. The reason for this was that it was going in a tent in a room that was used. Not a spare room that no one frequented etc. The room was used as an office that was worked in 9-5 five days a week - so it had to be quiet.Was it quiet? Yes, no noise other than maybe a small electrical buzz that only came about once it was over ~50% intensity but this wasn't an issue as I never went that high. I also had fans in the tent that nigated any noise from the light.Longevity - I had this in operation for the first few weeks/months for about 12 hours on and 12 hours off and slowly ramped it up to about 18 hours and 6 hours off. This was for about 4 months.I've now started using it again in the new '23 growing season and it has stored well and worked just the same for the past few weeks.I am/was a complete novice at growing indoors under growlights last year and the simple nature of this grow lamp and the fact that it "just worked" out the box, made my grow season in '22, the most successful I've ever had.I've attached a few pics of the young chilli plants I grew and you can see from the foliage that they were a lovely dark green and all looked very healthy. Some leaf curl that came from improper ventilation etc but nothing due to the grow light.Again, big benefit is no fans and no noise, this is what drew me to this product but the quality is what will make me a life long customer. Nothing to complain about and a lot to shout about.If this product is in your budget, stop thinking and just get it. It won't let you down and you'll be pleasantly surprised by how well it works.

A good quality light which works well, runs cooler than others I've tried which is great. Easy to use and install, just keep those instructions handy for the adjustment of light intensity.

Bought in 2021 and running 12h a day since. Using to overwinter carnivorous plants and supplement some hose plants over winter at about 80%. Moved a few times around the house, no issues with mounting.

The light has stopped working after 4 month. Never even run it at 100% either. Customer service was very nice and easy to deal with. They sent me a replacement pretty quick. It is a good light, well made, the quality you get for the price is great, would recommend. Would have had five stars if not for the inconvenience.

Great in a 2x2 although its a bit on the weaker side for flower, it'll still get the job done (might take a bit longer to finish up).Ppfd mapping seems to be fairly accurate too.

Brought one of these and the plants liked it so much I had to buy another one to cover the expanded foliage. Note these are 200 watt devices, so not bragging about 1000 watt drivel like cheap competitorsThey arrive very well packaged so unlikely to be damaged in transit. Comes with adjustable hangers and extension UK IEC connectorEven light across the board, runs warm but not hot. Also has a dimmer for light control from seedlings to flowering.Noticed the price seems to go up and down frequently, so buy when they are low.Have a look at others reviews besides Amazon to get an overal view on what I think are one the best £/W lights in the mid market. You could of course spend over £1000 on realy top notch lights, but it will take a long time to cover that kind of outlay.

This is a good light, i noticed the difference straight away, good unit, fast delivery, good price

I bought this light less than 2 years ago and it has just died, very disappointed, not as good as previous lights which lasted 4 years, need to check if still under any kind of warranty but the quality has gone down I feel, maybe because the old ones had built in fans they lasted longer, maybe I got a duff one but it did last 20 months before it died. Good news is that I have been sent a replacement without too much stress.
