Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I recently purchased one of these for a bonsai tree that I received as a gift. I already had a couple of light bulbs for growing indoors, but they weren't giving my tree (a hinoki cypress that's about a foot tall) adequate light. The leaves were getting pale and it didn't seem like it was thriving. Several bonsai websites recommended this light, so after browsing for a while I ordered one from a hydroponics supply company. No matter where you order from, you will end up spending around $30 for this kit (cost plus shipping). The lampshade is highly reflective and focuses all the light into one small area, which is ideal for growing a single plant as I am. The bulb is broad spectrum and simulates natural daylight. The bulb itself is pretty small and doesn't put out too much heat, so you can place it fairly close to the plant without causing harm. I like that the lamp is clip-on. I put a wooden pole vertical next to my plant, so I can adjust the angle of the light on different days to ensure my plant gets even lighting. Already my little tree seems much happier. The leaves seem to be returning to the lush green color they were when I first got the tree from the nursery (it was an outdoor tree). My apartment faces north and I get no natural sunlight through my windows, so it is imperative that I supply the tree with adequate light. If you are growing a larger plant, or several smaller ones, I would definitely recommend the 150W kit. While this lamp suits my purpose well, the total light output is a little weak. Remember that it's only a 60W bulb. Think of it as a spotlight ("dayspot") for a small plant, such as in the picture.
