Barrina 2FT T8 Grow Light, 144W(6 x 24W), 800W Equivalent, Full Spectrum, Sunlight Plant Light, LED Grow Light Bulbs, for Indoor Plant Growing, with V-Shaped Reflector, Pinkish White, 6-Pack

Worked out GREAT in our greenhouse. We wanted some grow lights for our greenhouse for winter time. Our greenhouse a converted single car garage has diesel heater to help keep plants from freezing. With the new grow lights, our plants have grown even more! Lights seem to be doing very well and keeps the brightness to a purple/pink glow at night. Easy installation with the plug in connectors .. WOULD RECOMMEND. BTW: quick shipping from the SELLER ...

These are really nice little grow lights! I’ve finally got my greenhouse winter garden going and these are excellent - very bright and perfect for getting my seeds up and growing well. They came with everything as advertised and were easy to install too, with hardware included for different installations. I chose to hang mine and I’m using the reflectors now, but I have the option to remove them later as the plants get larger. I’m very pleased!

We live in northern Indiana and our weather can be quite brutal. We start many of our crops indoors, usually in early March or late February. Previous lights have been such a disappointment and yielded leggy and sad seedlings. Not these lights though! The Barrina lights have performed so well that next year I will be able to start my plants later in the year. After 4 weeks of growth, we have tomatoes (beefsteak and roma) that are 8 inches tall and going strong. The bell peppers are forming stout, strong little plants and are about 4-6 inches. The melons (crimson sweet, sugar baby, and cantaloupe) are getting HUGE and super strong. The basil, parsley, and oregano are between 2-6 inches tall, and healthy and green. We have an issue with squirrels eating our green bean seeds, so I started some of those indoors this year. HOLY COW! We now have strong and vibrant bush bean plants that are nearly flowering under these lights. Even my stubborn heirloom lavendar is growing well! I have just attached the lights to the greenhouse shelves using zip ties so that I can move them up as the plants grow. These lights are powerful. They do get a little warm for being LED, but not hot enough to burn anything. I saw other comments saying that these weren't good for seedlings, and those are so wrong! Whoever wrote that must not have tried them with seedlings. These lights are so good I anticipate we will only need a 4 week headstart on indoor planting next year. For reference, I have 3 lights to each shelf (front to back), in a 2ft wide greenhouse that is 16 inches deep and 6ft tall. I bought two 6 packs of the 2ft lights. If you're an avid gardener, and live somewhere with a short growing season, these lights are definitely for you. *Note: be sure to cover any unused socket ends on the lights with the provided socket caps. I made the mistake of not doing that and grabbed the end of the light with an open socket. I got a mild electrical shock that surprised the crap out of me! So just be sure to use the provided socket caps.

I have bought and assembled 3 sets. Overall I think the lights sets are very good All lamps were as described. All are working. Packaging was excellent with no shipping damage and spectrum appears accurate using a handheld spectrometer. I would like to list my frustrations. (1) The reflectors are the most challenging part. I have not bent a single one of them and got them all in place but it required a great deal of patience and, at some points, walking away for a bit. The tolerances are just so tight that it would be very easy to bend one trying to get it in place. (2) The cords that connect bulbs can also be a difficult fit. And nobody got back with me when I sent in a question about suitable alternate replacement cords. Actually, customer service seems non existent. My only recourse was knowing that by buying through Amazon I could return something not working at the onset and that there were many favorable reviews both here and on youtube. It would also be helpful to have a little bit more detail of spacing both vertically and horizontally to get good coverage. I settled on using 4 bulbs separated by 5.75" to light a 20" x 40" grow area. Based on playing around with a PAR meter app (realize limitations) and watching my seedlings grow. 10-15" is a bit "optimistic" and my bulbs are pretty much on top of the seedlings without causing the issues you would see with too much light.

Actually grew my indoor pants. They get a little hot

Item was well packed without damaged.

I have purchased these lights a few times now and they always worked great and I’ve never had one burn out yet. Very easy to install. Perfect for growing microgreens on shelves and starting seedlings indoors. Also using them for supplemental lighting during the fall and winter months in the greenhouse for lettuce. They are indoor lights but work great in the greenhouse too. Just need to hang them about a foot from the lettuce :)

The Barrina grow lights arrived earlier than the time was expected thank you ! I like the color it dose not turn my room bright purple and looks nice.

My PPFD meter says that, though the light output is about what Barrina advertises, I'm afraid that it won't be quite enough to cover the area intended, so it looks like I'll be doubling up and buying more. Oh well, we live and we learn. The units are just as advertised and the reflectors REALLY improve the amount of light getting to where one wants it. More manufacturers need to adopt that strategy.
