Here's everything you need to know about this ultraviolet light that will be your secret weapon for your herbs' fast and robust growth.
For those diving into the indoor world or experienced growers looking for an affordable LED grow light, scan the internet no more. You’ve arrived at the right place.
When searching for the perfect LED grow light, there are some points you must take into account. Primarily grow space coverage, you should make sure you know what amount of space you dispose of and then look for a light that covers it all (or a set of lights that will suffice for the area you want to cover).
You will also want to be wary of their power usage, what LED type they are made of, their PPFD reading, and ideally, what kind of warranty they have. Of course, all these factors should ensure that you are purchasing the best quality lighting at the best possible price.
The Bestva DC 1200-Watt LED Grow Light weighs 10 pounds and is 12.2 inches long, 8.26 inches wide, and 2.36 inches thick. This, together with the amount and power of each LED light, will give you an average covered area of 2 square feet of grow space. Of course, if you are using a grow tent, this may be increased slightly due to the light reflection on the walls.
Use these numbers to calculate how many you would need to cover your space, or look for something more significant if you find these traduces into too many lights (you can check out some other Bestva models, including the Bestva 2000 Watt Grow Light).
All the materials that the grow light is made of are top-notch, manufactured to be the most reliable boards and chips from the inside out.
The LED lights per se are dual-chip 10W LEDs, way more efficient than the 3- or 5-Watt ones you may find in your average grow light. The dual-chip doubles the intensity of the light of a single-chip LED light, so imagine what 120 LED lights with dual chips at 10W can look like! The lights are intended to last 100,000 hours, so if my math is correct, you could use your same Bestva Grow Light for about six years.
Speaking of lights, the Bestva 1200W LED Groth Light has an incredible spectrum; it emits UV wavelengths, ideal for boosting your plants’ THC; IR wavelengths, which are vital in speeding up the flowering process and increasing the flower density as well; and its spectrum also contains a band rage of colors that makes it genuinely full spectrum: going from 380nm to 780nm, including warm and cool whites too.
The only thing to bear in mind when installing your Bestva LED Grow Light is that it cannot get wet at all; that is not even a drop of water, so make sure you position it considering this critical point.
Considering that this light should last for a few years and not seem less expensive, I tend to ensure that the manufacturers will not let me down if anything is wrong or have any questions.
This is why I think it is worth mentioning that the Bestva 1200W LED Grow Light offers a three-year customer warranty. Still, it will also refund your product as per their 30-day satisfaction or refund policy, giving you a safer feeling when purchasing it.
Bestva is also very fast and sensitive when replying to customer feedback online, and I have always received an answer when contacting them via email or phone.
The brand is also well known for the science behind each of their products and their insights on good practices and efficiency when it comes to growing, making me very confident about their statistics and their forecast of expected outcomes from whichever product you purchase.
When buying from Bestva, you will know that their rationale behind results is always science and testing, testing, testing.
When purchasing a Bestva 1200W Grow Light, you will receive an adjustable hanger, a power cord, a quality lens, and full-spectrum LEDs. Each grows light also comes with a daisy-chaining port on its backside, making it easier to set up a couple of lights together.
There are also Zeferino diode placements between each single LED chip that will allow for most of your lights to survive in case of a shock or voltage variation in your grow space affecting your installation.
To operate your grow light more comfortably and efficiently, Bestva provides separate switches intended to accompany our plants’ shift between growth stages. One switch is vegetation, and the other is bloom. Each one is preset with the ideal light combination for that stage of the plant.
An ideal perk that makes your life much easier. I know some of you are probably more inclined to dimmers, but I trust that Bestva has the perfect configuration for me not to worry about handling the intensification.
Unfortunately, the box does not include a timer. But on the bright side, it is compatible with operating with one, so you can purchase it separately and connecting it to your Bestva LED Grow Light.
Although the Bestva 1200W LED Grow Light has some minor details – not being waterproof and coming without a timer – I must say it is a great buy. It is reliable, has comprehensive coverage, is super-efficient, and has loads of science and research behind it, making it less likely to fail.
That, and the number of satisfied clients, prove it is a purchase you will not regret, and it will stay with you for long enough to worry about other things during those years and leave your lighting to Bestva. So, basically, what are you waiting for?
