Grow Light Panel with Timer

(SEE PICS FOR REMOTE INSTRUCTIONS) Enthusiastically Recommend! I’m really impressed with these lights! Just unboxed, so I’ll update if they stop working. Here’s the pros: • Insanely thin. I don’t even realize at first 2 were in the box. I posted comparison photos with my previous “thin” under counter plant lights. These LBW lights are perfectly flat and are the most seamless solution possible for under shelf or under cabinet lighting for a minimalist aesthetic. The only part that sticks out slightly is where the power cord plugs in. • Normal (non-brick) plug. (Note, there is a brick but it’s further down the cord.) If you’re like me and have lots of plant lights or devices, you’re probably sick of those big plugs hogging multiple spots on your power strip or outlet. For my purposes, the standard size plug works way better. If you’re mounting these under a kitchen cabinet you may find the mid-cord brick more annoying, so your opinion may vary, but this is a positive for me. Also a black cable is easier to hide so I prefer that over the white on my other lights. • the thinness of these and how lightweight they are offer tons of possibilities. I wouldn’t trust the tape that it is packed with, but I’m sure a 3M tape would work fine. There are four holes drilled in each corner so you can use twist ties or zip ties as well. You could easily mount these vertically off the end of a rack shelf if you wanted side lighting. • The provided mounting hardware is mostly garbage. They should just omit this. I haven’t tried the tape but reading many reviews of the tape that comes with similar lights tells me it’s not worth testing and I don’t like leaving a residue on surfaces. The twist ties they include are comically long. They will work but you need to cut them. Honestly just go buy a package of clear small zip ties and make your life easier. • Adjustable brightness. Note that you can’t adjust individual light brightness if you have multiple lights on a controller. If you think you'll want a lower light for a certain spot but want the rest on 100%, buy an extra light. I’m setting up a moss propagation area so the dimmable light is useful for me. If you buy the 4 lights on one controller, it IS possible to turn 2 on and 2 off. It’s a pretty fiddly control and honestly I think you’d be better off just buying two 2-packs. You use the button that looks like a recycle symbol to toggle between two lights on and all lights on, allegedly. I didn’t find the button to work reliably on mine during setup. I had some trouble getting it to turn all the lights back on and even unplugging didn’t reset it. If you notice when setting these up that only 2 cords are getting power or nothing is working even though the power indicator is lit up, start tapping that “recycle” button until they all work. • the 4-pack has 30” individual cords that join at the remote. It ships with all the cords basically stuck to each other - so it resembles one cord - but they pull apart easily so the lights can be spaced. The lights don’t daisy chain off each other, so every light has to be within 30” of the controller, rather than from the next light. I included photos of manual if anyone needs it. These are definitely my new favorite light and I think I will pick up more for some other areas.

Worked well while it lasted. Lights are great and super slim. Ppfd values are very high which if you don’t know is awesome. The wiring is a bit messy, but with carful routing and zip ties easily managed. If you’re using this on a shelf there will be no issues with the cables as they will route nicely. I used mine on an l shape plant stand so it took a bit more planning and organizing. The power upping gets dang hot. Uncomfortably ho. Using a better quality power supply and getting one rated for the proper voltage and higher than required amperage to allow some overhead would be ideal. my lights stopped working after a very short while which i believe is due to the power supply failing. I need to test with my multimeter. It’s a shame and I feel was a waste, but more importantly I did like these lights a lot. They have been sitting unused attached to my shelf for quite a while now.

I loved these lights. Three different timer settings. several different levels of brightness. Fit nicely under my plant shelves. However, I've had this for less than two months and it's stopped working. It started out as a flicker and progressively got worse the more I troubleshooted the flicker until it no longer worked at all, all within a span of 5 minutes. I pulled out every connector and put it back in, unplugged it from the wall several times, pressed the power button and dimmer buttons... Now the power button is flashing and the lights do not come on at all no matter what I do. Super disappointing. Changing my review to 5 stars. I contacted the seller and they sent me a new adapter. Everything is working great now.

2nd update: I upped the stars again. Excellent customer service. The new cords and adapters are still working! Its been 6 months or so and they are still going strong. I hope that means the issue has been fixed for all future product. Didn't give a full 5 stars because of the hassle of the original ones. Update 1: I upped this from one star to 2 stars for good customer service. The company sent new cords that are supposed to be better and updated. The new ones I received have a different model number. Hopefully they are using better quality resistors and the issues will be solved. Will up the stars again if the new ones are still working past 3 months. Original Review : I purchased 5 sets of these lights within a 3 week timespan. They fail after about 3 months of installing them. I have one working one left but expect it to fail in a week or so. One was dead out of the box but the power supply got super hot in the short amount of time I had it plugged in trying to get them to work. I should have paid more attention to the 1 star reviews. Like others mine started blinking and not turning on or off correctly. Even after unplugging them they kept blinking for awhile. I did a little trouble shooting on the last one that failed. Since I have one working set left, I first switched out the part of the cord with the timer, thinking I could cut the timer out and splice the cord together if that was the issue. They continued to blink. So I switched out the half of the cord with the power block. That solved the issue. Also, I noticed the failed power block smelled hot. When I took the power block apart the resistors were bulging on top, I assume that was the issue. Cheaply made parts and potential fire hazard. Don't waste your money.

UPDATE: The seller was so kind to reach out and send replacement cords, they are back to working 🎉 I have had these lights since May of this year. They were working great at first but now all of a sudden they don’t stay on? Even if they do turn on, they are very dimmed then shut right off after a second of being on. Pretty sure they burned out which is really unfortunate since they were doing so good the first couple months. Time to find something else more reliable.

Set up both of these over a shelf of succulents over the winter months, as I don't get enough sunlight indoors for all my plants. The lights and timer worked fine for about 4 months. Last night I was in the room and noticed the lights flickering slightly, and then turned off (but it was around the time they'd be turning off with the timer, anyway). Today they didn't turn on and won't turn on manually. Fortunately we're almost past frost risk in my area, so I'll just move plants outside for daylight hours until they can remain outdoors. I won't be purchasing these again for next winter-- I realize they're not the priciest lights out there, but they shouldn't become junk after just a few months.

These lights are so nice and versatile! You can make them fit a variety of set ups. I am using mine on a long metal shelf with open sides and back, there is a metal bar in the way so I couldn’t attach them directly to the shelf. But I used the smallest command hooks (the tiny clear ones to hold small string lights in place) and attached those to the bottom of the shelves. The lights come with long bendable wires so I rigged those up to be able to hang from the hooks. Works perfectly! They come with some sticky tabs you can use to hang them under a shelf, but I also used one tab to attach the remote to the front of the cabinet shelf so I can easily access it when needed. The timers work great and are easy to set. I’m using mine to grow dahlias from seed and they’re doing great! I was planning to have one light panel per tray of 8 seed cell packs but the seedlings on the outer edges were reaching towards the light, so I set up two per tray instead. Works great!

I have purchased 2 sets of these lights and 1 set lasted 1 1/2 months, the 2nd set lasted 2 weeks. Both started flickering and now won’t turn on. Both power supply boxes just rattle Iike crazy like broken inside. I will not purchase another!!!
