Hey folks,

I bought an inexpensive grow light off Ali express (8w) to test. It cranks out a light profile that is nearly exactly what my Barrinas kick off, which is perfect for VFTs, sundews, etc. I’ve seen the same grow light for sale on Amazon and eBay too under a variety of off brand company names for around 10 bucks. It’s even got a timer built into the usb cable, so you don’t have to buy that.

Anyway, not super useful if you have a lot of plants, but I got 30 to use when gifting people VFTs. Pretty cool to know that quality inexpensive lights are available in the hobby now!

  1. What numbers are you looking for VFT’s to tell if a light is any good?
