The four stars mostly comes for the brightness, which was about 1900 foot candles, measured at 1 foot from the source in a dark room. Easily the brightest measurement I obtained while looking into various lights - so for the cost, I think that brightness alone is worth it.

Unfortunately everything else is lacking a bit. The build quality isn't great - the piece feels a bit fragile. The stand is not very sturdy. The power cord is maybe 4-5 feet, not very long. No timer. No dimmer. Honestly I wish it was sold as just the light with some other functions like timer and dimming.

Lightweight, self cooling without any fans, dimmer switch to simulate weather patterns... These are the best affordable grow lights I've ever used.

Nice light. Different options for mounting are great.

works well and my plants love it! Recomended.

Nice light easy to set up stable timer and light itself well made
