Do you know where I could find information on how far to place plants from a grow light based on their lighting needs? Like low , medium and high light plants with a basic guide on how many inches/feet they should be from the bulb. I've got 2 old version 15 watt bulbs, 2 upgraded 15 watt bulbs and a 24 watt bulb from sansi and I'm trying to figure out my winter set up.
Lets say I have a plant that is 5 ft, and the light hangs 12 inches above the plant -- since there is more distance between the lower half of the plant and the light, would the light still be effective to the plant since the top half is lit? How necessary is it for the light to be in contact with the deepest part of the stems if the plant is that big? Sorry so many words...this is the best I could do 😖😌
Would this light work for someone that want's to do seedlings? Mainly herbs, and strawberries. How big of an area will this provide adequate light to? or do you recommend something else? I would like to spend no more than $40 to try it out and see if this is something I want to do long term.
I'm surprised you got a higher center PAR reading on the new light vs the old one, when I tested them I got the opposite (I tested them at less than 10 inches away though, maybe that's why).
Iam would like to supplement some lights for monstera. Hang around 24 to 30". May I know would you recommend Sansi 15w or the 36watt model would be more suitable ? Thanks a lot
@@GrowingAnswers currently just using my phone lux meter, iam getting around 300 to 900 Foot candle so if i set at 24 inch will 2x15Watt be able to supplement extra lights ? Or should i get 2x36watt lights or 2x24watt lights hang less or eq to 24" ? . Thanks.
currently where is the best place in Sydney, Australia to purchase this light. ive tried googling outlets with out success. is Hydroponics the next step. ?
Hello there. I have a question: I live in Switzerland with a standard 230V output. I've read in a review that the newer model isn't capable with high Voltage and thus has a high chance of burning resp. melting when used with such but that the older model works fine with high Volts. Is that correct?
It honestly kind of baffles me to see a "thumbs down" on majority of your videos and not find any negative comments or reason for people to give a "thumbs down". Honestly makes me feel like the only people who give a poor rating are those haters or those who have nothing better than to give bad rep. Good video as always, great little light for those who want to build a diy multi-light kit for low lighting plants. Not sure it would beat out a 4 tube led converted T5HO for output only because stacking those would add wattage up quickly. Keep on keeping on!
@@GrowingAnswers When i use this light a short while later the leaves droop/curl down, then when i stop using it the leaves go back up. What does that mean?
Won’t this light burn the leaves of my plants. I’m looking to buy to give light to my small rubber tree and make monsters, won’t the light burn their leaves?
what do you consider a minimum for plant growth in terms of PPFD? I use 30W and 40W SANSI bulbs for all my tropical plants as my ambient light is low. I don't have a quantum meter but plants are usually in the 250 to 400 foot candle range, and they're growing nicely ( I use the Extech LED meter to measure)
it's not just about the brightness of the bulbs, but also the spectrum.....SANSI grow bulbs offer a wider spectrum, not just what we as humans with eyes perceive as bright...

Yesterday I order this on amazon.
I want to be able to use the grow light for my funky seedlings. And my house plants.
Lets say I have a plant that is 5 ft, and the light hangs 12 inches above the plant -- since there is more distance between the lower half of the plant and the light, would the light still be effective to the plant since the top half is lit? How necessary is it for the light to be in contact with the deepest part of the stems if the plant is that big?
Sorry so many words...this is the best I could do 😖😌
This is why it’s necessary to prune the bottom part of plants no matter what light you have. Leaves that are in the dark steal energy from plants
Next try out some household par20 or par30 LEDs from Philips
How close would the lights have to be to each other to get a fairly even par across the area? 12" apart?
a12vguru the height would be more important than the separation.

All your videos on hydroponic are very interesting... Maybe a interesting idea would be something about nutrients.
They did another revision which the 15w has less led
I'm surprised you got a higher center PAR reading on the new light vs the old one, when I tested them I got the opposite (I tested them at less than 10 inches away though, maybe that's why).

Boey Shee Ian at that height you’d need the higher wattage

You purchase these online.
what's up with the tape around the 40 watt version?
a cat I wrapped foil around it to act as sort of a reflector.

NoName I’m not sure if it is 240 capable
Thank you for the great information. Have you any experience with the GE 9W BR30 LED Balanced Spectrum grow light?

HD Bagger I have a troll that does that. I’ve seen a thumbs down immediately after upload which wasn’t even long enough to have watched the video.
@@GrowingAnswers Haters is what makes it interesting. You cant build a name for yourself if you don't have haters.
What is the size of the floor grid in the video?
Phil Koenig off-hand, I think 3x3
Would this light be ok for veg and flower?
Yes. Small plants only

@@atrio1136 too close
Ordered a light. Hope to grow some maters. Thanks for discount.
Have you tested SANSI 70W Daylight LED Grow Light?
Gary I’m working on it now.
Great info thanks. Would have helped much more if had shown how the light would look on a real plant as well but thanks

How many 15 watt lights for a 4'x4'
15 or 20. With 4*4 tent, you should use 2 or 3 led high bay 150w.
what do you consider a minimum for plant growth in terms of PPFD? I use 30W and 40W SANSI bulbs for all my tropical plants as my ambient light is low. I don't have a quantum meter but plants are usually in the 250 to 400 foot candle range, and they're growing nicely ( I use the Extech LED meter to measure)
Depends on the plant. Some plants can grow with just 2um, others need much more.
I think you have the answer in your question to some extent - the plants are growing nicely. 😊
Epic nicely done 15w of sun power...✌
You cant beat the 15w $3 box store bulbs with the diffuser popped off
it's not just about the brightness of the bulbs, but also the spectrum.....SANSI grow bulbs offer a wider spectrum, not just what we as humans with eyes perceive as bright...
and the cheapo 15watt house bulbs come in 2700,3k,5k,6500 fuck sansi @@Orholam5

Thanks for your time, great video!
Wait won’t this strong light
Question.. why would you want to use that bulb vs a 4ft 6500K LED Strip? Only if you're need a very small qty of plants?
Forage Forage more intensity per sqf.
It seems to me the older one was much higher quality. The new one doesn't put out nearly the same amount of light as the old one.
Great overview. Discount code is no longer valid.
very helpful, thanks!
I'm just looking for one light that does it all and won't cost me a fortune.
no such thing. but the sun is free
