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.

Only thing i would add to new models in the future is a dimmer switch. This grow light has better spectral coverage than a majority of the grow lights for sale. The 2000w light is bright, low heat and easy to hang and adjust.

The rubber coating surrounding the * and the power supply have a bit of width to them and seem to help keep the unit waterproof. Plastic seals seem to reinforce the plausibility of waterproof.
