I’ll start off by saying that I’m very pleased with the product. It was easy to set up, has quality construction. and looks very nice.
However, what makes me give this 3 stars (instead of the 5 that the actual product deserves) is that the shipping was horrendous. The unit did not come double boxed, but instead came in just the display packaging. The box was torn and half open with NO TAPE holding it together at all.
Luckily, the nothing inside was damaged.

This is a nice table-top device for limited amounts of indoor growing. Has a single T5 light source, but this is a great and inexpensive way to begin indoor cultivation. Later you might like to graduate to larger set ups that will have 2 or more shelves and multiple lights for starting larger numbers of seedlings.

I was so pleased with the Hydrofarm 2-foot grow light. I have a head start on my garden for 2010. Already have peppers and tomatoes in gallon cans. Looks like an early spring for Washington State.The grow light takes the edge off of wanting to get busy planting. It was easy to set up and does not take up a lot of space.

I purchased this grow light system to start seedlings in a flat, and also hopefully to be able to grow herbs during the winter. Given the moderate pricing, I was pleasantly surprised that (when put together) it is very sturdy and well designed. It took less than 10 minutes to put together, using only a phillips head screwdriver. Although I will admit that — to make sure the sides went into the top crossbar securely — I used my large indoor rock that I keep for pounding things. The instructions recommend a rubber mallet, but the rock’s more fun. A hammer would work, too, if used gently. The instructions were fairly clear, as long as you compared them to the photos.
There are some extra clips included for some kind of permanent attachment. The instructions for those didn’t make sense to me, and the hooks that go with the height adjustment cord were simple to install (they just clip on) & all that I needed, so I’ve ignored the others.
I don’t know why Trilby O’Farrell “Truth please” felt there was no height adjustment for the lamp — the cord is pre-strung and raises and lowers the light as expected. Perhaps he received a different product. However I do agree with Marshall Simmons regarding the shipping packaging . . . there is none! I ordered this product along with a seedling heating mat. The heating mat, which is flat and all one piece, came enclosed in an oversized cardboard shipping box. This product, which has many parts and a fragile bulb enclosed, was sent as is in its shelf box, with no extra taping at the ends to keep them closed. One end was torn open, and I’m very surprised that nothing fell out. I actually took photos just in case, before opening it to check. But — by some miracle — everything was intact & working.
At its highest adjustment, the distance from tabletop to light fixture is about 19″. The light fixture lowers almost all the way down. So, while not tall enough on its own for very tall houseplants, for anyone looking to start seedlings or give light to houseplants that are moderately sized, this is an excellent product for the price.

The lamp overall is great, but the frame is a little shorter than I wanted. But we propped it up and it seems to be fine.
