Thank you for a very helpful tutorial. I just bought the same set. I'm best able to learn how to install by watching a video, so thank you for this. Following written directions with tiny diagrams isn't that easy for me. But I do well with video instructions. Thank you a ton !
This was very helpful, thank you! My lights are white, not pink? Are there different color spectrums? Do you know the advantages/disadvantages of each?
So glad I did a google search on how to set these up. I was fine until I got to attaching the reflectors...could not figure that out. Do you think they are really necessary...just wondering because I did not attach them. I will now that I found this video and can see how its done.
I'v very happy with the lights and just purchased the 2-foot version for a hydroponics system I'm setting up. The plants did great and these lights did not heat the room up as much as other grow lights I've used.
Looks like a nice set up. I bet they are going to work great. I plan on building something like that. I was going to use the same rack on wheels but I am wanting to build a garage first and I will put them in there. Or maybe I will build a small greenhouse.
Did you find that you needed one of the light bars per shelf, or 2? Just getting mine set up. Excited. I do appreciate this video as the instructions in the box were so not helpful!
I tried using one per shelf and the plants right under them did fine but the plants that were in the front or back of the shelf got leggy reaching for the light. So I added 2 per shelf and it did much better. This year I bought the 2' light setup and a different shelf system. On that one I put three per shelf and the plants were very happy, but that is definitely overkill.
@@greatescapefarms Thanks for this information. This is kind of what I was thinking, but glad to know I'm on the right track. I appreciated your video, too!
I generally keep the lights a few inches away from the tops of the plants. That is why I use chains with "S" hooks. With the "S" hooks I can move the lights up the chain to keep the light just a few inches above the plants.
I know mine came with the reflectors. I had to put it together, but it did come with it. I'd check the packing list or directions and see if it shows the in the parts that you should have received.
Can anyone tell me ( if anyone still looking at this video,lol) what happens if I needed to hooked up to 8 lights I.e. 8 pairs (that will be the max) instead of the six recommended?? I guess I could just try.. but I hate to see me shorting out the lights or something

You are most welcome. I'm glad it helped.
Thank you! I was so confused when I opened my boxes 😂 This really helped me!!
Followed your instructions and got my new lights all set up
Many thanks
Very easy to follow you…
Linda
Thank you so much very much for this video! It really helped me a lot as the instructions are not very detailed!
This was helpful i just finished setting my lights up thank you
This was very helpful, thank you! My lights are white, not pink? Are there different color spectrums? Do you know the advantages/disadvantages of each?
Any chance you did a video for how to put the shelves themselves together? I haven't gotten to the lights yet because I'm struggling with the shelves
Nice winter way to keep my more delicate flowers going. I hope.
Good luck!

I really do think the reflectors help aim the light.
Thank you so much for the video. Because of your video I was able to install my Grow Lights. The direction did not help at all.
Thank you for the feedback. Glad I was able to help.
Did you do a follow up video with the results? I couldn't find it on your account.
Great unboxing! Are you still happy with the lights? Did your plants perform good under them? ?

@@greatescapefarms I love my barring lights. Wish I could buy a 2 pack of 2 foot lights
Wish you would sell a 2 pack of 2 foot lights...I will buy them immediately.
@@nuthatchluv I wish they sold 2 packs as well.
@@nuthatchluv I'm with ya.
thanks - do the fixtures themselves get hot? My current LED lights hot 120 degrees and I am looking for a cooler running system
They get a little warm, but I don't think anywhere near 120 degrees.
Looks like a nice set up. I bet they are going to work great. I plan on building something like that. I was going to use the same rack on wheels but I am wanting to build a garage first and I will put them in there. Or maybe I will build a small greenhouse.
Sounds like some big plans in your future. Good luck!
@@greatescapefarms I sure hope so. Thanks my friend.

@@nickybrown2050 Thanks for the kind words!
May I know the distance between the barrina grow light and the newly planted seeds for germination? Thank you so much for the help. 😊
I generally keep the lights a few inches away from the tops of the plants. That is why I use chains with "S" hooks. With the "S" hooks I can move the lights up the chain to keep the light just a few inches above the plants.
I have the same ones and love them, would you mind sharing the chains you are using please? thats an awesome idea
My chains were just old ones I had laying around. Here is an amazon link to chains that are similar to mine: amzn.to/3Abminv
@@greatescapefarms Thank you so much!
@@mallory-knox you are most welcome!
@@greatescapefarms Just so you know you linked the big heavy/thick chain for hooking up a utliity trailer in your link.
Lowes sells the flower pot hanging chain which would work perfect for these lights. price seems good too! This is what I am gonna use, Heres the link
Thank you! I just bought the same ones.
Awesome! I hope you have as good a luck with them as I have.
Thank you. I did not get instructions in my kit
You are most welcome!
I also wish these came in a 2 pack as the indoor green house I bought on Amazon could use 2 more.
I hear ya. :(
I bought barrina t5 2 ft but it doesn’t come with reflector, am I missing parts?
I know mine came with the reflectors. I had to put it together, but it did come with it. I'd check the packing list or directions and see if it shows the in the parts that you should have received.
I got the 2 ft also and didnt get any reflectors with mine either.
I might use this over my fish tank !
Use caution. A full spectrum light over water will surely grow algae.
Glad you did this video, but you forgot the plastic on the bulbs. There us one I can't get off.
Can anyone tell me ( if anyone still looking at this video,lol) what happens if I needed to hooked up to 8 lights I.e. 8 pairs (that will be the max) instead of the six recommended?? I guess I could just try.. but I hate to see me shorting out the lights or something
I believe the most that I have hooked together is the 6.
Where did You get those chains for hanging
My father saved anything that may some day be useful. This was a hand-me-down from him, so I can't give an exact source. Sorry.
Ace hardware or any hardware store even lowes or home depot will carry the chain
Very helpful, mine didn’t come with directions
Thanks for the feedback.
Thank you!
You are most welcome.
They gave timer?
No, I purchased the timer myself.
Did not sure how to connect your timer to the system. Goodbye
