Standard Tabletop SunLite® Garden

This product was easily put together by my students. We have never started seeds indoors before so it remains to be seen how well it works. Works well with APS starter kits. One child bumped the side bar when moving it after it was put together and it bent at the bottom frame. It needs sturdier connection between sides and bottom frame.

I was very disappointed with the product when I took it out of the box. The metal light casing is of flimsy design inadequately shielding the grow lights from the rest of the room. It is much flimsier than the base I bought a couple of years ago. The electric cord is too heavy, tilting the shield so that the light is angled out into the room even more. In addition the model is not compatible with the light base it is supposed to sit on, so it was necessary to construct a base for it to lay on. The tray does not fit in the aluminum frame and bows above it - very unattractive. Consequently, I am not able to use it in rooms where people frequent. I refuse to pay for return shipping for this inferior product so will use it in the basement. Terrible [*]workmanship!

This light is easy to setup and use. I have my first batch of starter plants transplanted and am now using it to grow from seed more vegetables. It is too early to plant outside here so this grow light gets things going well. Only problem I've had so far is that the clips used to hold the chain in place like to slip on their own. I just twisted the chain around the top bar to help hold it in place.

All my early plant start-up is organized in one location. no fuss no mess

Assembly was straightforward and took about an hour. The unit has worked fine and we are starting our second batch of vegetable seeds. One minor quibble is that one of the clips securing the lights does not hold the bulb that well and one end has come loose a couple of times when raising and lowering the light fixture. First season of use, so we have no idea as to durability.

I have the three tier stand which I purchased years ago but is in storage. I purchased this table top version and it's just as good. Quality construction and easy to set up.

Starting seeds is so esy with this product. I have had wonderful results with germination and the growth rate is quite spectacular.
I wish it were a litle wider- maybe 6" - so it would hold more trays. By moving things around they would all get good light.

When the box arrived I was able to put together by myself. I have it placed in my dining room. I also purchased Cowpots and a timer and together, its a perfect match. The Cowpots fit perfect at the base of the GrowLight and the timer controls the abount of light.

I bought this product to help with growing vegetables from seeds. I don't have good light indoors where I am and last year I did not have much to show for all my effort. It was easy to assemble, though the instructions could be a little clearer. About 3 days after I started using the lights, one of the tubes went out. I was sent a replacement bulb, but it didn't work either. I discovered the replacement bulb and the ballast were impaired. I am being sent a replacement for both. All that aside, I am very happy with the results from using the lights. If I had two bulbs instead of one, I think my plants would be doing better than they are now.
The one minus for me is, once this is put together, I do not want to disassemble to store. However assembled I have no place to store it when it is not being used.
