BarrinaGrow Lights

I've been starting garden seedlings in little outdoor "hothouses" and finally decided to make the jump to indoor LEDs. This is a nice system - economical, easy to install, and effective.The series connection feature is nice. I'm running eight lights across four shelves, and was able to connect them all to a single timer, with the addition of a couple of extension cables. The installation pack is a nice addition - I needed to zip-tie mine, and there were plenty included in the package.Right now I'm working on a winter herb garden, and have a nice little crop coming along.

They work well and easy to install

I have used these lights pretty much nonstop for the last year. I love the plug and play. My plants have definitely grown towards them, especially my cacti and oxalis.EXTENSIONS/PLUGS...They have what I will describe as a female end (hole) on both ends of the light. Therefore, you can plug in the extension cord that hooks to the outlet or the extension cords that hook one light to the other, onto either end of any of the 8 lights. Other lights that interconnect will have one male end and one female end, therefore if you put the light up in the wrong direction, you have to take it back down and rehang it, in order to plug it in where you want to. This light is different (except one of the lights has an end without any connection point for some reason).ON/OFF SWITCHES...They have a simple on/off switch on each light and on the main cord that plugs into the outlet. Because of that you can have some of the lights on and some off at the same time, despite the fact that all of them are getting power from one plug (They do give you two outlet plugs in the kit though which is awesome, in case you want to have two lights in one part of the house and the rest in another spot, for example.). To explain more, to have every light on (if you have all eight attached to one outlet), you need to flip the switches on each of the eight lights to the "on" position, and then switch the switch on the main outlet cord to the "on" position. Then if for example, you have a bunch of plants die, you can turn off any of the eight lights that don't have plants under them any longer. Say you want to third and fourth lights off and the rest on. Just flip the switches on the actual lights (third and fourth) off and there you go. I attach the main cord to a timer that is plugged into my outlet and leave all of the switches to the on position. They turn on and off by themselves then according to a schedule.With these lights, I would definitely recommend you avoid doing this... I have them connected to the underside of different shelves on a larger metal shelf unit. The shelving has metal bars (and thus openings in the base of each shelf). If I water the plants on the top shelf and they leak water from the base of their pots, the water will drip down to the shelf below it. I suggest if you have that set-up to find a sort of hood/guard to cover the garden lights with. If you have water drip onto the back of the light, it will not hurt the lights easily because they are sealed well. I know because I have yet to prevent the pots above these Barrina garden lights from leaking water onto the lights. The lights are still fine. I wouldn't recommend it of course. An easy solution would be to put a catch tray underneath the pots (I just haven't found a tray that fits in my shelf well enough).Overall, I have no complains about these light. I greatly recommend them. I just recently got another Barrina garden light and it was not as well made as these. Unfortunately, that one doesn't connect to these either. It has some little features that these lights don't but one main flaw of that lights is that the plastic that covers the diodes is very cheap and thin (it would break very easy). This eight pack of lights has solid plastic and backing making up each light. I recommend them for sure. If I wanted more garden lights, I would get this exact kit and link them up with my older lights.

These lights are great, fair price tag and even better when on sale of discounted.I'm using them for a grow tent and indoors.Lights are bright and warm but never are they to hot touch and I use them on a timer of 14hrs on 6hrs off.I took advantage of the daisy chain effect and it works easy as ABC 123These lights could easily be used for under shelves for shop lights or similer as well.Updated 3 months after and the lights foe whatever reason started flickering, on/off randomly. After contacting Amazon customer service they immediately let me know I was past my warranty but they would let me send it back and even gave me a credit worth the cost of the lights.Amazing Customer Service 👌 Brianna lights are actually very good I was surprised to me issue

First the good. Relatively well made, and well design. Switches on all light bar as well as a main switch on the wall plug in. All hook together either cable or solid plug. Comes with screws with metal clips or you can zip-tie them, also included, lastly some double sided tape. It is infinitely easy to hook the pieces together with all the items that came with the kit. Also it’s s bright, picked light pink, look fairly white.The not so good, packaging was really beat up with one of my boxes having visible puncture one of the light bar had a long dent, but they all worked. It ordered a second one and the box still looked beat up, ut the seller placed it inside a huge amazon box. My other grow light have dimmer and timer this set do not, its minor, but it is super bright. If I look into them I get spots in my eye.Overall I keeping one point, just in case it fails in the next year, if it goes beyond two year I will give it a 5 stars. My other grow light are pushing 2 1/2 years. My final assessment is it is relatively inexpensive, despite of this, it’s well design and flexible.
