Sansi recently sent me their new 40-watt Daylight spectrum LED grow light for review. This is a very nice light, with good, even distribution of light. The PAR values were not bad, considering the power draw of 35.5 watts.
Mr. Hua reimbursed my purchase of this grow light for an unbiased review. Also, I earn commissions for purchases made through the following links. This is at no extra cost to you and helps support my site and YouTube channel.
This is a two months update on the Mr. Hua 200 watt cob grow light. The light does very well, but I think the specs are a little exaggerated, as far as coverage area, and light intensity they claim. The plants I’ve had under it have responded well though. They advertise it as a 600 watt, but the actual power draw is around 200 watts. You can see my video update with time-lapse below.

I just want to share an update on the pepper grow using my HLG-100 quantum board LED grow light from Horticulture Lighting Group. This is an awesome grow light and I highly recommend it.

This is a 10-week follow-up on the Sansi LED floodlight. It actually got two pepper plants to produce fruit in this time.

This is a follow-up to the initial setup and testing of the Sansi 35 watt BR30 LED. See original article here.
I’m surprised how well this light is doing for growing. It is not designed to be used as a grow light but does a decent job of it. I’m getting lots of nice roots and leaf development, and even fruit! See the video below to see the progress.

Sansi sent me their 50 watt LED floodlight for evaluation. This light isn’t designed for growing purposes, but I am testing it for growing.
Although marketed as 50 watts, actual power draw was less than that, around 40 watts. It has 3500 lumens and color temp is 5700K. The PAR readings I took show a really high level very close to the light but dissipates quickly over a few inches distance.

The Sansi 35 watt LED light bulb is a new product from Sansi. It isn’t advertised as a grow light but has all the right specs to be considered useful as one. It produces 3500 lumens in the 5000K color spectrum. It screws into a standard light socket with the E26 base. The lights are focused at a 120-degree angle. The CRI is 80.
Sansi sent me one of these to try myself and I got the following results when testing.
Actual power draw measured with my Kill-a-watt tester 31 watts.
