I added a new 36 watt LED grow light that arrived today from Amazon, I like the fact it has a huge clamp opening that fits my tabletop. Here's a pic with the specs has anyone here used this before? I'm still using my 2 CFL's and now the new one. will the LED's perform well enough on there own, or did I waste 25.00 on them?

Looks the same light only difference mine has a clamp at the base not the tripod, I like the adjust ability in light output and that each of the 3 wands allow you to put the light as close to your plants as needed and it will stay in place. The 4 - 8 or 12hr timer and the 4ft. cord that has the controller that allows you to change settings being part of the cord means you'll never lose it. Since this is my first LED light I need to research the red/blue lights are they really a color that the plants need?

I have the same lamp as Jetstar with the heavy duty clamp and it has been good for the seedlings for the last 6 weeks. The arms, light intensity and color are adjustable so it is helpful for plants as they grow. The timer is a nice feature and can be overridden to a manual on/off.

This mfr said don't use colored( red/ blue) leds' as they are detrimental to eating the plants?? What is that about? Last edited by Tonio; March 13, 2020 at 05:59 PM. |
