this thing rocks.. my pepper plants love living under this...... but 18" is a bit too close.. less is more... seriously.. keep it as far away as you can... 24-30 inches seems to be good.. heat is issue as with most lights but less than a hps minimum venting will be required if in a tent.. hoping it will last for quite some time... was skeptical before purchase but after some time with it i'm in love.. i liked it so much i bought a 600 watt for my other veggies as well.. lettuce and tomatoes are better than ive ever been able to produce before... ive been gardening indoors for quite some time, i've found it to be easier and the heat where i live is almost unbearable, now that i'm older i cant get out in the garden as much as i used to just from the major heat outside... the labor indoors is a little more, watering etc but i'll never go back.. electricity usage is way better with LED i was using 8 8ft t5 before for the garden and the usage is about half it saves me about 10 bucks a month plus i dont have to keep buying bulbs all the time and the hassle with having to change them so i figure this will pay for itself in a year or so... i really believe with the advances with modern technology LED is the future in lighting.. so might as well get on board! several people in the gardening club have moved over to LED and are happy with them... dont pay for an overpriced unit.. this is everything you need and nothing more... one of the ladies in the club has been doing indoor roses for quite a while and she switched over too and she just won her first-first place in a local competition.. with this light.. That should tell you right there everything you need to know! Life's a Garden Dig IT!

This light rocks! My plants are growing like crazy, This... light will warm a 3x3 room to 78 degrees when on 18 hrs daily. Cooler if a fan is used. I use a timer. Very Bright, works as described. Im very happy with this product, Seller / buyer experience went smoothly and arrived quickly, unmarked boxing. The grow store in town here is scratching their head after seeing the light and price. The owner quickly went to her computer to research Meizhi products. Lol. Her comparative light was 700.00 dollars. I say buy this light with confidence, quality and seller are great.

Ok so the bad reviews on here were obviously from growers who ha...ven't used leds before...well I have been using leds for a while now, this thing is bright as shit. Both veg and bloom work great. I mainly use it on full spectrum my babies love it. The new MEIZHI 900w is side by side next to my king plus 800w. This light blows it out the water hope this helps

First you ran a sale that could not be beat. This... light is awesome will do inline plants more so then a wide spectrum on a large area but the results are spectacular. But those plants that are underneath it benefit greatly. This company is kind of young but it rocks 900 watts and the plants love it my electric bill not too bad but I live in Florida so I have alternatives. Indoors during the summer is a must. This company rocks you're going to buy you can't go wrong thank you in my baby's thank you

Got here the very next day I ordered it. I was surprised about... the weight it has, it's very good material. The led lights are super bright however they don't give off much heat so that good. The fans are fairly quite you can barley hear them. Overall a good buy for any indoor grower.
