Quality


Surprised at how well built it was and my son who is 13 and on the spectrum was quickly able to program on/off cycles and intensity.


It’s a simple design, easy and intuitive to set up, adjustable and fits great.


Loved the features and ease of use but disappointed with the light output unfortunately it died on me.


It has gone through multiple moves and drenched in water even submerged a few times.

Price


It is plenty bright comes in so many sizes and is a decent price.


This is an awesome plant light, especially for the price.


My $150 finnex light should have lasted a few years longer, but it didn't.
