LORDEM Grow Light for Indoor Plant, Full Spectrum LED Plant Light, Height Adjustable Growing Lamp with Auto On/Off Timer 4H/8H/12H, 4 Dimmable Brightness, Ideal for Home Desk Plant Lighting, 2 Pack

Good quality.

I like to grow plants indoors, and this 2-pack of LED lights works for onions, basil, tomatoes, and weed! The LEDs are put on this paper-thin (yet stiff) panel atop a retractable antenna rod. The power supply plugs into the back of the LED panel (standard barrel plug). You can tilt the LED panel, adjust the height, set the brightness, and set how long the light stays on each day (4/8/12 hours), although I have personally not used the 4 or 8-hour setting. However, I am not still a big fan of the controller, common across other grow light products sold across Amazon, as I want a little more degree of control over my lighting. PROS: + Low power consumption. Based on the brightness setting, I've measured 1.8W, 3.2W, 4.8W, and 6.5W. + Does not get hot. Perhaps a little warm, at most. + Thin profile is a nice aesthetic, and hides behind most foliage. + "Set and forget" controller, works for most people and plants. CONS: - Controller does not default to "ON" state when plugged into power. This means in the event of a power outage or controller bug, this light will stay off until you manually turn it on. It also makes this lighting system incompatible with smart plugs. I'd wish they had a version with a simple mechanical switch, or simply default to "ON" when powered. - I am not a morning person, and to make this work with the 12 hour setting, I have to get up relatively early in the morning to power this on to make the timing sync with real daytime, otherwise it's on all night and I can't sleep. - I've noticed the controller can sometimes glitch and the system doesn't turn on that day. I can go weeks at a time without a hitch, but once every blue moon, it has to be set again. - You cannot adjust the light horizontally, like I mean moving it more towards the center of the plant. The panel is nearly centered on the rod. You can tilt it upwards but the light can be brightly shining against your eyes depending on where you put this in your room. - The pedestal may not be big enough for larger plants to sit on, which can result in some pots slightly tipping. - The barrel plug juts out a couple inches behind the LED panel, so I need to wrap the cord onto the rod to keep it looking tidy.

I like their versatility, but they do not seem to give off enough light for the seedlings. The seedlings get too spindly even if the lights are quite close. They do better once the plants are established.

The welds/solder points on cord connection is terrible. Fell off in my hand. Didn’t have a solder gun so tried a dot of super glue. Held fantastic. Was going to return but there were two lights and one is fine. So far lights are bright and timer working great. We’ll see how long they last.

Used this light for a season. We just started seeds for 2026, and the power unit is faulty. Due to the design of the cord connections, it has four different possibilities for unit failure. As useful as it was, it isn't worth the cost for a single season of use.
