4.0 out of 5 stars What you Get For the Price, August 3, 2007

I bought this light to grow some houseplants from seed. It worked well, although my plants did die (my fault, not the light... I think). I decided to buy two, and the second one did not work! BetterGrow Hydro gave me a refund and it was relatively easy to return. I commend them for the service. Keep in mind that if you decide to buy this because its much cheaper than any HPS/MH/High Output flourescent setup, you get what you pay for. The metal is cheap and flimsy, but it works and does come with hardware to set it up. The cord isn't very long either so you might need an extension, but the plug is a two-prong not a three so it can plug into any outlet.

Make sure you buy the right bulbs!! You 2, 24" F20T12 20 watt normal fluorescent bulbs, NOT the high output ones because they won't go in. Normal fluorescent bulbs have two little prongs which you twist in to the fixture. This is NOT a high output fixture and cannot work with any bulbs with higher than 20 watts. Do some research on the plants you're growing before you buy a light. A lot of plants need more lumens to grow than this can put out.

I used this fixture for seedlings, so it was on for 12 hours a day for a couple of months. Then it died abruptly.

3.0 out of 5 stars a little flimsy, November 9, 2008

The whole fixture is a little flimsy, and flexes very easily, making the lights flicker or go out. The included hooks are too short, and I had to adapt them to ensure it hangs stable, and the power cable is quite short. Overall, while this does what it has to do, it isn't a very effective grow-light, and I would rather spend more and get something better next time.
