| The light and stand arrived in perfect condition. It only took a few minutes to put the stand together and I think it is plenty sturdy. This is perfect for me because I did not want to set up a permanent grow light anywhere in the house and this allows me to move it around if I want to. I would recommend this for anyone starting out with seeds. |
| Hydrofarm Grow Light Is Doing An Excellent Job In My Greenhouse | 2010-02-16 | 5 / 5 |

I have a small greenhouse and I'm using this Grow Light to keep my vegetables going. It provides light in Winter to 5 Earthboxes full of vegetables. Does it work? I have 5 planters full of vegetables, some blooming getting ready to fruit, and some squash and cucumbers with fruit on them, and there is ice and snow on the ground outside, very little natural light this time of year.
It seems flimsy, and you wouldn't want to kick it around or place it somewhere with lots of traffic and people bumping into it. Otherwise, I haven't a problem with the fact that it isn't SOLID. I move it around a little every day or two to make sure everything is getting some light. It handles that just fine.
I'm thinking of getting another one or two. If it wasn't so expensive, I would. I haven't found anything I like better. |
| RE-DESIGNED - DEFINITELY NOT FLIMSY | 2010-01-27 | 5 / 5 |

| As you can see, most of these reviews are very old. I have one and it is very sturdy and designed quite well. The lifting mechanism works great and is a great improvement over most of the more inexpensive systems that require moving each side separately. I would definitely recommend this system - its a nice dark forest green and the paint job is excellent - you could put it in the living room and it would look just fine. I can't comment on shipping and packing as I bought mine at a retail store but I would have to say the package itself seems pretty well packed so if anything breaks I would say the retailer you bought it from did not protect it well enough in the shipping box. It is, afterall, a lightbulb and should be shipped as such, with plenty of pellets. |

| This unit was easy to assemble, sturdy, well packaged. Recommended. You can find this unit at a better price. |

| I bought this light a bit more than a year and a half ago. I've been using it to grow my plants in the winter and it works well. In regards to some people only getting one bulb or whatnot, I'm not sure why. Maybe they received an "updated" model? I purchased mine from the manufacturer though. My lamp contained 2 bulbs and used 2 bulbs. I think everyone would agree on the flimsy design, but what I'm more frustrated with is that my lamp unexpectedly died. I'm not sure what went wrong with it, but it is past the warranty and I must look for another. There is no conceivable way to fix it cheaply (I tried changing both bulbs and pulled the lamp apart to see what I could do). There is no starter to be replaced as on many fluorescent lamps. If I had known it would not be a long term investment, I wouldn't have bought it. |
