BESTVA DC1000 LED Grow Light, Full Spectrum Grow Lights for Indoor Plants | 100W LED Plants Light with Veg & Bloom Mode for Indoor Plants Growing, Hanging Plant Lamps Fits for 2x2 Grow Tent, Greenhouse

A friend of mine has been using these LED plant growing lights to supplement natural light in his green house, and I decided to get one so I could expand my indoor seed starting setup. I was impressed with the quality of the packaging, everything arrived in perfect condition. I was also very happy to learn that this LED grow light comes with a selection of hardware to make hanging it quick and easy. Many other lights do not include hanging hardware, so this is definitely a benefit of this particular light. Overall the light works extremely well, and is VERY bright. I used an analog lux meter to compare the output of this to some other LEDs that I already owned and the BESTVA light has significantly more LUX, even when measured further away from the light source. The power draw is totally reasonable for how much visible light this generates, and so far my tomato starts seem to be thriving under it. The build quality feels very solid, and overall the quality of the materials inspired confidence. I am also pleased with the length of the power cord, and the fact that it is removeable, in case you want to substitute in a longer cord to reach outlets which are further away from where you choose to hang it. Price-wise I feel that this is a good value, and I only wish that maybe I had purchased the next size larger for my particular situation.

I use a CMH light for all stages of growing in my bigger tents. I got this because it was cheap, and wanted to check it out. Just know your not getting 1000 actual watts, but about 200 watts. Look on a package of your LED lightbulbs you use in your house. It says what the LED watt is, and also what the actual watts are. That's not to say this light is worthless. Just understand how it works so you get the best from your grow - because isn't that the point? I'm using this in my 2x2 tent because it runs completely cool and is small. Plug it in and go. Uses hardly any electricity. It's nice for what I'm using it for. For a small grow, this would work just fine. If your limited on space, want an inexpensive light to start out with, or just want to grow one auto fem plant, I would just use this light. You wouldn't have to worry about heat build up in a small area. A small fan would be all you'd need. Put a bottle of ona gel in the next room to scrub odor. So it definitely has it's place. And it's convenient. Good medical plants each need at least 400 par up to 1000 par. So make sure you know what height/inches your plants need to be to be, without burning or bleaching the tops. From this manufacturer: 6" is 1901 par 12" is 958 par 18" is 595 par 24" is 447 (directly under the light) and then ranges outwards, to maximum of 4 ft, at 47 par 30" is 230 par directly under the light. Skip back up to the picture of this light and flip through until you see where it says Bestva Dual-Chip 1000W PAR value picture. That way you can get a good visual of where you'd need to put your plant in relation to this light. You want to get it as close as possible, without bleaching or burning your plants. LEDs run cool, which is what is so great about them. Just got to find that sweet spot. You can supplement this light with some CFL's for even more watts for cheap. Your gonna get the best out of this light, if you put it 6-12" above your plant. Just don't burn your plants. Happy growing!

I use mine in a 48x24x60 grow tent. With several plants in there and I mean like 3 it works great. of course this depends on what you are growing and how bushy per say. While I could easily do 4-5 pepper plants I would have to drop to 2 or three bigger tomato plants or anything similar in size and leaf density. Takes a bit getting used to the purple colored world and of course get the UV glasses for this as the UV is not good for the eyes and it sort of corrects the color...somewhat. I would say this size light is pushing the limit for this size grow tent being that it does the job fine but any bigger and you need a bigger light or combine 2. The light spread is good and as long as I kept plants 18" away or so I never had any tip burn even when they would get 12" for a short time I never had tip whitening....but again I kept it around 18" or so for growing plants. Note not for seedling or clones though...too bright for seedling and I do not do clones but I would day 24" or a bit more until established. This is good for veg to flower and I never had an LED burn out...never showed any signs of light spectrum deficiency and compared to running hot high watt sodium or halide..I rather use these. Cooling fans kept the housing cool and were not excessively noisy and while they do put out some heat it is easily vented out without needing a fan...just open the top vent a bit along with a bottom vent if the heat climbs. Sure you can spend more money and better name brand lights but I am NOT dropping $600-$900 on lights when these do fine for a hobby grow. You do not have to drop stupid cash for a decent grow light...as long as the spectrum and output is within spec and they lights hold up and do not fail they will work fine. Let the pseudo experts argue over better lights...I have grows to show these work just fine. NOTE: going by my smart meter on my electricity account they lights use about 200-240 watts based upon my smart meter. My electricity use is very constant so when I start a new grow I can see the increase on a daily KW usage and that is watt (pun hahah) the increase in my bill breaks down to..around 200 watts increase per hour per day

Works

I’ve owned this BESTVA grow light for nearly 2 months now and I’m extremely satisfied with it so far. I actually purchased 2 of these lights at the same time, but so far I’ve only been using one, so I can only speak for the performance of this unit specifically. My plants have stayed strong, healthy, vibrant green, and compact throughout the vegetative stage. The light output is impressive for the price, and the build quality feels solid. One thing I personally found works really well is running both the VEG and BLOOM settings together during an 18/6 light cycle, even in the actual plants’ vegetative state. In my experience, the plants responded much better compared to using VEG mode alone — faster growth, fuller leaves, and overall healthier structure. TRUST ME — IF YOU CAN MAKE IT TO WEEK 4 or 5, GROWTH WILL ACCELERATE AND BECOME EXPLOSIVE AFTER THAT POINT! Heat output has been manageable, coverage has been great for my setup, and overall this has been an excellent purchase. Looking forward to seeing the final yield results, but so far I’m very impressed and would definitely recommend this light. I’ll also be posting grow updates and results on my YouTube channel, so feel free to DM me with any questions! I plan on documenting my grow progress and equipment testing on social media, and based on my experience so far, I’d definitely be open to future collaboration opportunities with BESTVA.

This is a great value. It puts out a lot of light and my plants love it. Great for starting plants indoors. Not sure it is strong enough for the Devil's Lettuce!

Haven’t grown with it yet, but so far it’s everything I expected. Would buy another one in the future.

The grow light works and provides good brightness for my plants, but it wasn’t quite what I expected. Setup was easy, and the full-spectrum light seems to help with plant growth. However, it runs a bit warmer than I anticipated, and the coverage area feels smaller than advertised. It’s a decent option for smaller plants or seedlings, but if you’re growing a larger setup, you may need additional lighting. Overall, it’s okay, but there are better options available for the price.

Es una luz bastante completa y muy potente, apenas la probaré en el cultivo pienso que después tendré que hacer otra reseña ya con los resultados en flores. El nuevo diseño es muy minimalista me encantó!!! Da muchísima luz para el tamaño y peso, el ventilador es muy sigiloso no se percibe mucho. Es una bestva de 1000w

So far, tremendous results. Using 4 for a 10' x 7' room, should maybe run 6 of them for that area, but things are looking up! Easy on the power consumption, the girls seem to love it. Packaging was first rate, shipping to Canada was very fast. I highly recommend this seller as well as the product. One year later: I did away with my home-built 7x10 enclosure and set these up in an 8x8 tent. Now 4 of them will not cover the whole footprint, but I want space for filter, fans etc. I would suggest 6 of these for a space that size instead. Results have been very good indeed, with lush foliage and tight internodal spacing. I harvested some very large flowers, but of course proper nutrition and ventilation are the other pieces of the puzzle. Have tried a side-by-side comparison with more expensive lights, 10w LED as well as 1000W COB (200W chips), and if anything, these are superior. I will be purchasing more for separate veg tent ((keep at least 3 feet over cuttings or may burn). Hydro bill barely registers a difference running all of them, so, easy on the wallet (not sure of actual consumption per light). I have no regrets about this purchase and will be back. Customer service is first-rate as well. AAA+++

These lights are perfect for growing plants indoors. I have 2 and I can grow a nice vegetable garden in my tent all year round.

This is a REALLY bright light that seems to be well made and well designed. The ratio of blue/red/UV and IR bulbs makes good sense based on the research that I've done, and my plants have done well in both vegetative and flowering stages. The 10w equivalent LEDs are super bright though, and although the light itself runs cool as ice with excellent (and quiet) ventilation fans, it will scorch your plants if you put them too close. The manual suggests 30" but I would keep young plants even further away than this and monitor them carefully. Once you sort out that one detail though, this is a great light.

I have grown with 1000 watt hps and other power drain lights before even with a room up to 19 bulbs in it. I am EXTREMELY IMPRESSED WITH THIS LIGHT. Plants are loving it. They get penitraition deeper it seems, the new shoots everywhere, the flowering is incredible, right off the hip these lights made a difference. I tried 1 and then bought 2 more within the week. They do definitely replace 1000 watt as I actually had to move them as far back as a 1000 watt GPS or they were giving too much light with almost no heat. I don't have to air condition my room anymore so power bill will be a great deal less. I'm not growing cannabis at the moment just 20 different vegetable / fruit / and flowers to keep beneficial predatory insects around but I do have experience with cannabis as I am a medical prescribed and allowed to produce if I wanted to. I just choose not to because I don't want the extra risk that thieves present.
