Does anyone have recommendations for reasonably priced pendant-style grow lightbulbs? I put minimal effort into my current setup and I'm sadly getting minimal results (shocker lol). 1 know Soltech is the gold standard but I'm not ready to drop $200 just yet.

    I feel the same way about spending that much on a light. I attached a picture of the set I got this weekend and so far they are perfect. It is a little pricey (nowhere near $200) but you get 2 lights for around $50-60. They do have 1 plug and are connected but the cords are so long you could have one on each side of the room. I’m not sure if they sell only the lightbulbs but I would assume you could find them

      Awesome! I like the double head of that one. I’m trying to make this corner as low maintenance as possible but the single bulb doesn’t seem to be cutting it. Thank you 🙌

      This is how I set mine up for now since I plan on moving soon you do not have to use any brackets for the lights I just chose to since I’m renting currently. They are extremely bright, I feel like just these 2 could be enough for my 60+ plants

      I rent also! Thats a great setup, and encouraging to hear they’re really bright. The philo white wizard has only put out white new growth and the rubber tree has been dropping leaves like crazy since I moved them both from their bright window to make room for the “Chosen Ones” lol.

      Since hanging them up Sunday morning my bird of paradise has already started pushing out a new leaf. And the Pothos N joy has finally perked up. I also have the 4ft , 2ft and multiple of the “puck” lights from barrina and I love them all

    Sansi is a good brand, not sure how affordable it is in your country

    Soltech bulbs are on sale for $75 at the moment. 😁

      Oh gosh the temptation! Maybe they’ll just have to “show up accidentally” at the front door and I’ll feign ignorance to my spouse lol

    For bulbs only, Sansi has a great selection. Everything from 10 watts to at least 42 watts. Not sure but I think the 42 watt is equivalent to about a 600 watt incandescent.
