    You will be lucky if this light puts out 50 watts. Again, it’s junk. You’ll have to spend about $1 per watt for quality led grow lights that you can build yourself, or $2 per watt for prebuilt. Those blurples really aren’t good for much more than a plant each at 150 actual watts of draw. I know you only have $70 to spend but it’s not enough to grow 5 plants.

    It says that it's actual power consumption is 65W =- 5%. Guessing it is 5% less. Avoid buying LED lights when it says it's from China or Hong Kong. Not worth it. You will regret it. If you cannot properly afford a good grow light, it's preferred that you grow outdoors. Only if you are wanting a decent yield..

    actually there are some good boards coming out of china- I found a 120QB with driver on alibaba - alwen peng will ship 4 of them for 200.00 -best price i found
    have heard but have not been able to confirm that HLG has their 120 boards selling for 29.00 each (dont know if that is with drivers)

    Make sure its wall draw and not equivalent power bs. I don't like buying something that isn't UL or ETL listed unless I know the source.
