Barrina 4FT T8 Plant Grow Light, 252W(6 x 42W, 1400W Equivalent), Full Spectrum, LED Growing Lamp Fixture for Indoor Plant Growing, with ON/Off Switch & V-Shaped Reflector, Pinkish White, 6-Pack

If you were like me you are probably looking for simple, cheap, but effective grow lights. This is it, look no further! Stop pulling out your hair. I spent countless hours trying to find something cheaper, something better, something that only a clever person could find that wasn't this—but I just ended up with this. These are quite literally THE entry grow lights. So start here. - Don't bother with traditional LED, they aren't full spectrum like these "grow light" LED's are. - Don't get confused about all the blue, red, green waveforms. This is the one that you want, it's closest to the sun for budget lights that isn't pink, and gives you plenty of what you need from each. RGB tweaking and knowing which one you want for what is, highly niche stuff for people that weren't searching for plug-and-play that does not apply to majority of the population. - Sure, pink lights are great to have for plants. But nobody likes looking at them. Studies show people have a tendency to hide them away and they lower sexual arousal. You will hate owning them and anyone glancing through a window that has pink lights will assume "drug dealer". - Don't bother with fluorescent and putting them in old housing units, they don't work as well as LED and aren't "Full Spectrum" AKA "like the sun", which is what you want. - Fluorescent housing units are expensive unless you trash ones thrown out by someone upgrading to LED and require wiring. But these are plug and play and can be daisy-chained. - T8 > T5. - 42 watt (more power) is what you want; unless you don't care about peak efficiency with plants and your electricity is expensive. Then you want 20 watt (less power). Which is a tradeoff between cost and performance. Your plants won't be as deep a green, nor as crunchy, but it's not a huge difference. The plants won't get all of what they want but it will get you to seedling status so you can put them in your garden. Don't bother with 10 watt / T5 unless you're dirt poor. - 42 watt for most people is like $0.25/day, 20 watt is like $0.09/day. - Their customer support is great. I had some missing cables in the box I ordered and they set me straight right away. Very polite folks! - Plants sleep the same as you, remember people saying "8 hours is the ideal amount of sleep"? Same for plants. I do 16/8. That means, 16 hours lights ON, 8 hours lights OFF. Advanced DIY setup: - You want a 5-tier "Brightroom" metal shelf from Target. Chrome is more reflective than black. Cheapest, highest quality shelf you'll get for this. Fits the lights great. - These Stainless Steel trays (no plastic, easy to clean, last forever): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YWWXK7G They are 20" x 14" x 1" and they come in a two pack so $15-17 each. 1" depth is great for trays, better than deeper trays. - This digital timer for your lights: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08Z3F8L4C (Nearpow digital timer) two pack so $10 each. - Attach the lights to a board that can be raised/lowered. Glue reflective mylar to the bottom side. - Use metal bobbins as tiny pulleys for the string and metal fly fishing rods to raise/lower the lights. - Make a mylar-covered box that goes around the shelf with airflow using two PC fans. - Attach water jugs and use capillary action / gravity wicks to bottom water the seedlings so you never have to do it. - For storage on top of the shelf, get "apple boxes" from your local grocery store for free. They fit perfectly on top and will store a ton of stuff in them. Lazy DIY setup: - Same Brightroom shelf. - "Adjustable rope hangers" to raise/lower lights. - Cheap plastic 1020 growing trays. - Same digital timer. - Budget: cheap string and/or hose clamps to hold the string to the sides of the shelf to hold the lights in their position. Use a ratchet or screwdriver to raise/lower them. (Psst, pennies are cheaper than washers) This post likely helped you so click the "helpful" button and pay it forward next time you do an insane amount of research on something so we don't collectively waste thousands of hours of time that could be spent growing plants that make the world a better place. ------- P.S. Get your neighbors to start growing. Teach them Green Beans, Malabar Spinach, and Sweet Potatoes. These are highly nutritious, ridiculously easy, and you can give them endless seeds / cuttings and slips that they can plant and it's practically impossible to mess them up. And they can teach it to others as well. Many of these people never had the 'seed' planted in their mind that you did that made you get started. They need someone to do it, and you need it too, or all your knowledge will mean nothing if things get rough. It's not enough to know how to grow food, they need to know it too.

The Barrina Grow Lights 2FT 5000K White Full Spectrum Plant Growing Lamps are fantastic! The lights are bright and provide great full-spectrum coverage for my plants. Assembly was quick and simple, which I really appreciated. What makes these lights stand out is how versatile they are. The 3 power cords and 5 connecting cords make it easy to configure the setup exactly how you want. I especially love the 4ft connecting cords! I’ve had issues in the past with cords being too short to properly adjust lights between shelves, but these have plenty of slack (see pictures). It makes spacing the lights to fit my shelving so much easier. On top of that, the price is excellent for the quality you get. Highly recommend!

These lights are great. They are easy to put together and install, the provide a great amount of light (at least for my setup), and dont get terribly hot. I was able to put together the entire setup without even enlisting my husband to help. I am about to order a whole additional set, as I'd like to utilize the additional two shelves available to me for more growing space. On the whole I would highly recommend for anyone looking to start seedlings indoors, and I've outlined some pros and cons below: Pros: - Easy installation: the lights come with the side reflector separate but they are incredibly easy to connect. Simply slide them into the grooves, I was able to assemble each light in about a minute. The clips that I used for my setup were also incredibly easy to clip on and factored into that one-minute assembly time. - Versitility: I am fortunate the my setup was such that I could have all of mi lights in sequence. However, should you need to you can actually run them as three separate systems with 3 switches controlling two lights each, making the system incredibly versatile to suit your individual needs. - Different clip options: I utilized the clips that literally just snap onto the top of the light to c9nnect to the hanger chains. However, there are also options for sticky pad attachments and an attachment for a hard mount that you could screw into a cabinet bottom or something like that should you want/need to. - Great output: You can see from the pictures that I am very successfully getting some great seedlings for my edible flower garden under these lights. I have used lights in the past that have caused pretty significant stretching, but I am happy to report that these have not. - Light weight: These are not heavy, particularly if you have lived the old fashioned fluorescent bulbs. As I mentioned, I was able to put these all up myself and it was a fun moment rather than a taxing or challenging one. - Great value for the money: You can see in my pics that I actually ended up with a lot of parts leftover which I feel like never happens these days. The zip ties you see pictured were inclouded which was amazing because I don't know if you've bought zip ties lately but they are ridiculously expensive for what they are! I also looked at several more expensive options, but went with these for what I considered a good balance of price and good reviews and I am so glad I did! Cons: ...... I don't really have anything here.... I will post down the line if I see stretching or if the lights fade or anything that could be better but I have to say, I am a harsh critic and it is rare that I am this pleased with a product. I reeeeeaaaaaaly thought hard on cons and here is all I got: - No dimmer switch: Ok, I knew that wasn't a thing with these, but that would be my only "wishlist item." But even as I write that I think to myself "why the heck would you dim growlights!?" 🤔 So there you have it. I am a harsh critic and very picky, and these lights just hit the mark on the whole. If you are on the fence I would genuinely say to you just go for it! Couldn't be easier to put together and install and you can see for yourself the growing results. One of my favorite light purchases I've ever made!

Exceptional and outstanding grow lights! 4ft long lights provide amazing coverage for all your plants. Full spectrum, bright lights give seedlings the start they need to grow and become healthy transplants. Im extremely satisfied with these lights! I grow on a large scale and needed to set up a new propagation station. These lights were just what I needed. Nearly no heat and bright enough to be the sun! The daisy chain feature means less cords and I can plug into my timer effortlessly. Im super happy and satisfied with these lights. Thanks!!

These lights are very bright, I love that you get 6 lights (the price is great!) and I imagine they'll work great for starting seeds. Very easy to assemble. My only complaint is that I only received hanging clips and reflectors for 4 lights, not 6. Not a big deal, just surprised.

Lightweight, very easy to hook up and hang. They put out a good light, with seeds popping up a day earlier than expected. Very good value for the price.

Actually grew my indoor pants. They get a little hot

Item was well packed without damaged.

I have purchased these lights a few times now and they always worked great and I’ve never had one burn out yet. Very easy to install. Perfect for growing microgreens on shelves and starting seedlings indoors. Also using them for supplemental lighting during the fall and winter months in the greenhouse for lettuce. They are indoor lights but work great in the greenhouse too. Just need to hang them about a foot from the lettuce :)

The Barrina grow lights arrived earlier than the time was expected thank you ! I like the color it dose not turn my room bright purple and looks nice.

Nice and bright, easy to set up.
