Pros & Cons
Pros
This is over 3x the recommended lumens for starting seedlings. I live in a cool remote area where tomato plants aren't available.
Nothing flimsy about it. This is in my basement, which tends to the cold side. Since the room is cooler it is a non issue for me. Ordered 4 and will be ordering more in the future.
Had then on 10 hours straight each day and no flickering. Bulb changes are easy peasy.
Agrobrite fixtures are ahead of the competition for durability and functionality. Solid build and worked flawlessly. Can't speak for longevity, but very pleased with build quality.
Cons
The cord looks like it was dragged on a cement floor or such where the plastic is melted off and wires are exposed. After the first 12 hours under the light, over 50% of my seedlings start dying from the heat. Hydrofarms website has no contact page.
Highlights
Quality
Same quality fixture as id expect from a high end garden store at a great price
The quality of the build on these units is far better than what i have seen in a very long time
Figured out that its a housing screw and does not interfere with the function of the light
With the light we can keep them still alive
Price
Love it it works great i have plants growing like crazy and the price was half of what it is from other sources i will be order... Read More
Shipping
So it can be damaged easier in shipping
I thought that maybe bulbs got damaged during shipping so i bought replacement bulbs
Packaging/appearance
Packaging was adequate to protect the product from shipping and handling abuse
The only bad thing i can say about it is the packaging isnt double boxed
Competitiveness
I bought several of these agrobrite lamps when i moved my succulents indoors for the winter
Much nicer than the fixtures you get from gardeners supply
This is a very sturdy greatlooking wellmade product
A very inexpensive offbrand t5 fluorescent bulb purchased for 22

The lights are not hot on the outside but without any air flow it can feel like a hot summer day underneath the lights
