GYTF T5 Grow Lights, 408 LED-Bul... vs VIVOSUN 2020 Latest VS1000 LED G...

The lights are nice and quiet; there aren't any buzzing sounds or beeping that i have heard. Fiona seems happy and is putting out lots of new growth. They are well made with a sleek design.

The lights are very bright (white) and can be daisy-chained together to fit your needs. The on/off toggle switch is handy.

These lights are lightweight and were quite easy to mount with the provided mounting tape. They are easy to assemble/connect.

This is an effective solution to my needs for my hydroponic hobby. I'm curious how they'll fare if i take the salad greens all the way to harvest and whether the lights will end up burning the leaves or if they'll be gentle enough for the baby greens....  Read More

These are basic, don't have a timer or anything, but that's been no problem. I have them plugged in to a smart wi-fi plug.

The wire/cable is very low quality appearance.

The adjustable brightness feature is great for all stages of growth. The only con so far is that they don't daisy chain. Each lamp requires a seperate plug, hence i need to plug them into a surge protector, then that into a timer.

Casts the light well, so plants get even coverage. This is exactly as advertised. This light is an exceptional value.

Lightweight, easy to install on the nicest pulleys. Comes with ratchet ropes, so hanging the light from a tent pole. The ratcheting pulleys make raising and lowering the light a total piece of cake.

Without this connector the lights cannot be hung. They falsely claim their lights can flower a 3x3 area yet their par charts show readings at under 500 at 14' or more. This light falls way short of what's advertised.

Finger prints and poor repackaging on the product. Vivosun makes it very easy to spend money with them while making nearly impossible to get help from them if something goes wrong.
