I absolutely love the Sansi brand lights! They have different styles I have the regular gooseneck ones \& I just recently purchased puck lights to put under shelves. They have a warranty on all of their bulbs \& my plants seem to be loving it!!

Thankyou so much!! I’ll have a look!

What’s your routine with them how long do they stay on, what times of day etc? If you don’t mind me asking

#### Lili replied on 2023-11-02

I have them plugged into a smart outlet that allows me to set them on a scheduled timer where they turn on at 08am \& turn off at 08pm so they can be on for a total of 12hrs :)  
The puck lights came with a timer you can set for 4, 8 or 12hrs but my gooseneck lights did not so I decided to purchase the smart outlet to simplify my routine.

barrina lights are cheap and powerful bar lights (perfect for shelves). sansi (as mentioned by lili) makes lots of different grow bulbs, even clip lights, they’re affordable and high-quality grow lights that come with a 5-year warranty. if you have sensitive eyes i’d recommend staying away from purple lights, they can induce migraines
