SunBlaster 0900172 T5HO 24 Inch 24 Watt High Output Fluorescent Strip Light Fixture Grow Lighting Kit, 2 Foot

Works great. No complaints. Would buy again

I've tried several different kinds of grow lights- individual bulbs in hoods, led strips, and these. I tried my first sunblaster light strip 3 years ago and it has been my favorite light ever since. Since then, I've tried several different led strip lights that have worked fine and are alright, but not as bright and good for my plants as these. I've also tried different t5 strip lights from other companies (because they were cheaper) and have had horrible results- I've since returned those and bought these again. These arrived yesterday in the mail and worked instantly, were easy to set up, and have great lighting. I love these lights and honestly probably won't bother with another kind again

I was looking for a way to supplement winter sunlight for a plant stand by a window and this little light is perfect. It lights up the whole shelf nicely. I didn't use the screws to attach the light (it would be perfect under a cabinet), but the clips worked great to hang the light from the stand brackets. It's versatile and practical; the T5 lights are worth paying extra over T8 or T12. Recommended!As a follow up after using this product for awhile, I was disappointed that the fluorescent bulbs don't last long. As soon as the tubes darken at the ends, they quit. T-12 bulbs and the T-5 Sunblaze product are much more long-lasting.

The first one arrived in a box with several inches on either side, no packaging material. It did not turn on and I could hear something rattling inside. I contacted Amazon and expressed concern that if this flimsily packaged fluorescent light had broken, that would be highly toxic for the delivery carrier. I was told this would NEVER happen again, so I ordered a replacement and used my own packaging material to securely package the return. The new light has just arrived in a 25" x 17" box with no packaging material. The top is dented, but it does turn on. I am guessing if I returned it and order a replacement, it would arrive in a refrigerator box. I don't feel comfortable even trying it.Sunblaster, figure out your packaging situation with Amazon before you expose a hardworking UPS or FedEx driver to mercury poisoning.

Purchased two SunBlaster T5 lights and was very pleased in that both lights worked, the individual light packaging included four screws, four screw anchors, a linking cable to connect multiple fixtures together (allowing for one plug for up to eight lights), a 60" power cord with an on/off switch (convenient to turn off if you need to work in the brightly lit area), four pieces of mounting hardware (two pairs of the same style), and a ballast. Would definitely purchase again.Product received four stars rather than five, because one of the linking cables had a poor connection. If the cable was not moved the light would generally stay on, but if jostled the linked light would go out. Thankfully the linking cable in the other SunBlaster package had no problems. Not sure if the company would have worked to provide me with a functional linking cable, since there was no need to contact them for an extra.

Replacing a light in my grow light system, this item was delivered a day after ordering in perfect condition and perfectly replaced the unit that had burned out.

I have this running 12-14 hours a day, providing the bulk of light needs for my plant collection, which includes an Old Man Cactus (mammalaria) and some highland nepenthes, both of which are lumens-hogs and will simply not look like what they are--lots of white "fur" on the Old Man and pitchers on the nepenthes--without adequate light. My plants look great with this bulb AND the white light looks nice in my space and also is conducive to viewing the plants. For me, personally, I don't really see the point in growing a houseplant that I can't have in the same space with me, in a way that I can appreciate it's beauty--or tell how it's doing by a casual glance. I think this T5 bulb is preferable to a red or blue LED.

I'm using my Sunblaster T5 Ho for my Reptile bearded dragon to be exact. My Zoo Med Reptisun 10.0 Uvb T5 Ho Fluorescent lamp works perfectly in this fixture and is considerably cheaper than the other Reptile recommended fixtures.When your ordering the bulb make sure it's 2" smaller than the fixture itself if you order exact size it will be to big !
