Hey there! I've just gotten back into my plant collection, but unfortunately, the cheap $20 grow light I had from Amazon has already broken. I need a multi-headed grow light since my plants are central to my setup. I'm open to spending a bit more this time to avoid having to buy new lights every few months. What do you suggest? Would it be better to buy grow bulbs and use a standard lamp instead? Really appreciate any advice!

Sansi is a pretty well-known brand for grow lights. Just make sure you're looking for a good lumen to watt ratio—aim for something above 150 for the best results!
If you're after good value, you might want to check out Sansi or Barrina; they've got some solid options for the price. If you're willing to spend a bit more, brands like Vivosun and Viparspectra offer better performance. For professional-level lights, consider Mars Hydro or HLG. I think Sansi also has some decent bulbs, but you'd need to invest in a multi-head lamp, which can be overpriced. If you really want effective lighting without dealing with the cheap stuff, I'd suggest looking into Vivosun or AC Infinity. Just consider if you can handle bright lights in your space!
I got a Sansi light from Amazon with four gooseneck lights, and it's been working well for me! Here's the link I got it from: https://a.co/d/avKkWUP. It's perfect for my 35 plants, which are all circling around it on a tripod. Just a heads up though, I've heard that similar Sansi models can have stability issues, but overall, people seem to praise their lighting quality!
Thanks for the tip, but I’ve heard the same—that size might not be enough for larger setups.
Sounds great! Just what I needed to know. I have a bunch of plants, too, so I'll definitely check that out.
