Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Another new multi spectrum LED grow light :) I had to review it. At $20 USD the pricing puts it directly into a comparison with the Roleadro 45w panel which is currently priced (higher) at $23.66 on Amazon TLDR: Does it beat the Roleadro panel? No. But it is slightly cheaper, and doesn’t have a ballast on the cord (this may be a benefit to some people). It comes with a 5 foot power cord, no ballast, and no power switch, (just plug it in and go). It also comes with hanging wires and clips. Each led panel contains 12 IR leds (placed in formation down the center of the panel) Using an Apogee Full spectrum smart Quantum sensor, the SQ-520, the light performs decently for a 45w panel. It pulls: 265 micro moles at 4 inches 175 micro moles at 8 inches 105 micro moles at 12 inches 50 micro moles at 18 inches 30 micro moles at 24 inches and a paltry 17 micro moles at 3 feet. Meaning at 3 feet it wouldn’t even be decent for supplemental lighting. This panel is ideal for seeding and micro greens. Sure it has the IR leds which does lead to higher oil production, however you’re not going to bloom any fruits or vegetables and definitely not marijuana. It could be added as supplemental side panels during bloom but better options exist, albeit at a cost. As for power draw this light panel is highly efficient and pulls an actual 17watts at the plug . In my parts of the world this would cost me roughly $1.40 in electricity. Not a bad investment if I’m growing some micro greens under it.
