Virtual Sun VS400CRDS 400-Watt HPS + MH Grow Light Tube Hood Kit

Arrived promptly and with all the parts present and intact. The light works and is very bright. We'll see how long it lasts, I've only had it running for two hours so far.Assembly was a bit of a pain, lots of nuts and bolts to build out the reflector. Note there is blue plastic film on one side of the reflector surface, and a yellow plastic film on the other. I caught the blue plastic film during assembly but didn't notice the yellow until after I had it half together.The yo-yo hangers came with no instructions for their use so I ended up skipping them and just using some rope. I didn't want to screw up and risk shattering the glass tube.This is my first grow light so I don't have a lot of reference points. It definitely feels cheaply made but everything is there and functions so I only have a couple of complaints: 1) it would be nice to have an on-off switch on the ballast. I was planning on running it only while I'm home for a few days before trusting it to the timer. You either need to use the timer or yank the plug out of the wall to turn it on and off. 2) the sheet metal of the reflector has some sharp edges, you need to be careful while assembling it.

I grow indoor habanero and ghost chilies. This light is amazing. yes you have to build the wing, but i have purchased cool tubes before and they had terrible little wings, so I did not mind having to put this one together. It was wide, large and mazing. it creates a great canopy of light. This is by far the best cool tube I have ever used. The peppers are thriving.

well made
