Lights are lightweight enough to be mounted on the underside of a shelf. Work well for seed sprouting (herbs), baby plants that are rooting, and even provide enough light to produce a fenestrated monstera leaf.
The timer is great! The timer has 3 settings. The plug gets a little warm to the touch after the lights have been on for a while. The timers make it so easy and provide a simulated daylight environment for the plants depending upon their needs.
The power adapter simply does not work anymore. These only lasted 7 mos on 12 hr timer! Would not recommend for the lack of longevity.
The settings (hi med low) allow for different levels of light for different growing purposes. They are bright and certainly work for the plants to grow.
These are a great substitute. As you can see the strip is for 2. Ordered 3 more. Would recommend these.
Do not use this for growing seedlings. At 6 inches, on the brightest setting, it only puts out between 50-60 foot candles. Foot-candle output diminishes greatly more than an inch from the light. Light hangs down touching plants.
