Qc failed on this lamp. Needs to be checked in specs at assembly level. Not only is the light top heavy but mine also doesn't tighten hard enough to keep it from tilting to the side.

Timer that comes with is a godsend. I love that this is basically a dupe for the more expensive version. The cord is very long and has a timer setting that you can set.

This is the most attractive grow light that i have found in my horticultural journey. Looks good in the room, puts out alot of light. Houseplants and succulent seem to love it.

Within 10 minutes of plugging in this light it is too hot to the touch. All it does is rapidly blink now. It will only turn on if you manually press the “on’ button every time.
