Customers say

Customers like the light and weight of the light bulb. For example, they mention it produces a lot of light, is very slim, and has a small footprint. That said, some like the growth, ease of installation, and ease of mounting. That being said, opinions are mixed on the quality, value, and reflector.

Customers like the light. They say it produces a lot of light, and is great for seedlings. They also say it works wonderfully and lights up their lovely plants. Customers also say the light performs well, and adds a bit of artificial sunlight during the dark winter months. The light fixture is nice, sturdy, and perfect for a lizard's enclosure. They like how well the reflector amplifies the light, however, the back portion gets quite hot. Overall, customers are satisfied with the product and recommend it to others.

Probably Great for its Purpose but VERY Fragile
4 Stars
Probably Great for its Purpose but VERY Fragile
My first caveat here is that I have just completed assembly of the overall "light fixture" (seven of these items attached to the "T5 Light Strip") and have not even yet hung it above my seed flats. To this end, I cannot make any comments about the performance of these lights in terms of plant growth characteristics. The science and physics sounds reasonable to me (I am actually a PhD scientist) so I expect the performance to be good...hence the reason that I invested in what turns out to be pretty expensive fixture! However, I can make a few comments about other things.The biggest thing to understand about these light fixtures is that they are somewhat fragile, maybe even "flimsy". I won't go so far as to call them "cheaply constructed", even though there is a temptation to do that. They are light fixtures and not demolition derby cars so I was not expecting to be able to take them outside and bat stones with them. However, if you are going to attach several of them to some sort of hanging bracket (e.g., the aforementioned companion piece from the same manufacturer, the "T5 Light Strip") to create a larger "light fixture", you need to be VERY CAREFUL in how you handle these. For sure, the first thing that you want to do is remove the bulbs before you assemble anything...they are long, thin, small diameter tubes of glass, after all! However, the ballasts themselves and, in particular, the reflectors are also very fragile. Understanding this fragility is important because these seem like they could be EASILY damaged if handled too roughly...as might occur when attaching them to a hanging bracket.This fragility is my biggest complaint. I have used other fluorescent type fixtures as growth lights in the past and found them to be somewhat "flimsy" too so maybe it is simply a "characteristic of the genre". However, these seem "delicate" in addition to being flimsy. If you are simply going to hang these individually or set them on top of a channel in a growth dome, then no worries. If you are going to try to assemble them into some sort of fixture, you need to take GREAT care....and maybe read my review of the companion "T5 Light Strip".Another "watch out" are the bulb connection points to the light fixtures. As for every fluorescent light, both ends of the bulb are simultaneously inserted into the two connector brackets at each end and rotated 90 degrees to make the electrical connection and seat the bulb. In this fixture, there is a plastic, circular, rotatable center with a groove in it that rotates relative to the rest of the bracket. It almost looks like the head of a "big" standard head screw. When this is in the position to insert or remove a bulb, the slot is in line with the slot in the bracket itself (see attached picture "Open-position.jpg"). This makes a continuous slot into which the bulb is inserted. However, if it is in the "active" position, the groove in this center plastic piece is NOT contiguous with the groove in the bracket (see attached picture "Lock-position.jpg").You may ask why this is important. It is important because two of the seven fixtures that were delivered had broken bulbs. The fixtures are delivered with the bulbs inserted and in the "locked" (or "active") position. So, for the two that were delivered with the broken bulbs, I had to rotate the inner circular connector using a large, standard head screwdriver (the tip of a table knife blade would also work) in order to make it possible to insert in a new bulb. I did not notice this at first and kept trying to put a bulb into one of the lamps and it simply would not go. Fortunately I stopped before another bulb was broken! When I inspected it more carefully I found that inner circle of the connector was rotated in the "locked" position and, therefore, there was no way to insert a bulb into it. It is an easy fix but a "watch out" if you receive a fixture with a broken bulb.The "NanoTech" reflector is also seemingly "flimsy" and fragile. I would strongly recommend wearing some sort of gloves while handling these light fixtures. This reflective surface can easily be scratched (as for the fixtures that arrived with the broken bulbs) and smudged with "finger oils". Both will diminish the reflective properties and therefore overall performance of the fixture. Also, the reflectors simply "snap" into position to the ballast. This means that they can come off fairly easily too thereby requiring you to specifically handle them. Wear the gloves to protect your investment!My last comment regards the broken bulbs. As I said, two of the seven fixtures that I ordered came with broken bulbs. I have not yet attempted the nightmare of my life (and the primary reason why I am NOT an Amazon fan), Amazon customer "service". I am guessing that it will be IMPOSSIBLE for me to explain that I do NOT want to send the entire light fixture black but simply need a replacement bulb (which Amazon actually does sell). So, once again, Amazon customer "service" will win because I do not want to waste the time sending the ENTIRE fixture back and waiting for a replacement when I could simply order a replacement bulb. Owing to the nature of these fixtures and the poor packaging done by Amazon (two fixtures per box with no packing material allowing them to freely "rattle around" inside) I am guessing that there is probably a "high incidence rate" of fixtures arriving with broken bulbs. So, either prepare for a battle, a full exchange of the item, or just let them win and buy some replacement bulbs...which you will need (hopefully) over an extended life time of the fixture anyway.
