Affordable
The Viparspectra 450W LED is offered at a reasonable price, but it has a decent light spectrum for all stages of plant growth. It is backed by a 30-day satisfaction guarantee and 3-year warranty. It can cover a 30″ by 30″ area, depending on your distance from the plants.
Excellent Performance
The grow light uses a typical PC power cord and can be strung side by side to boost the yields and size of the plants. You just need to keep the light at 24″ above the plants to avoid burning the crops. The Viparspectra 450W LED is equipped with alternate blooming and veg switches that work together when the crops begin to bloom. It produces a bit more heat during this stage, but this pushes the unit’s full spectrum capabilities and allows the plants to bloom beautifully.
The LEDs can last around 100,000 hours. There are two light bands to pick from – red for bud enhancing and blue for leaf production. The two-phase switcher allows you to activate your desired light band. There’s also a daisy chain option that allows you to connect multiple panels together.
Coverage
During the bloom phase, the grow unit can cover a 2.5′ by 2.5′ area. The maximum area that it can cover during the veg stage is 3.5′ by 3.5′. The unit’s 90⁰ focusing lenses can be used to direct light to the right areas. This will help you get a decent yield. The grow light is also efficient as it consumes only 200W but provides more than twice the equivalent output. Hang the light 24″ above the plants and your crops will get more than enough light to grow and flourish.
Remains Cool
The lighting system confines you to small-scale projects, but you can take advantage of its daisy-chain feature to link several units with one cable. The Viparspectra 450W LED remains cool so that it won’t overheat. When stacked up, the grow light consumes approximately half the amount of power used by its incandescent counterpart. It can get pretty close to the plants without burning them. Incandescent bulbs have an overwhelming heat output that can burn the plants.
Whether you are a seasoned grower or a beginner, the Viparspectra 450W LED is a great option for you if you need an affordable LED grow light. It can reach small spaces that other lighting systems can’t cover.
Cons
The Viparspectra Reflector-Series 450W LED is not ideal for large gardens. It also provides more blue light than red. The place that you are going to store the unit should be larger than 24″. You should measure your grow space before buying this grow light.
