I'm looking for some recommendations on good grow lights that won't break the bank. Most of the lights I have are pretty cheap and run on USB. Any suggestions for something better without spending too much?

For budget-friendly options, the Viparspectra P700 is currently around $39.99 and great for 70w. Alternatively, check out the Vivosun T5 5000K LED bar lights; they’re about $53 for a set of 8 (15w each). The Vivosun ones offer a cool white light, so they're not full spectrum, but they work well for a lot of plants! I'll drop some links in case you're interested.
You might want to check places like Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace for used fish tank lights. They're often up for grabs at a low price, and with a bit of creativity, you can rig them up to hang nicely. I find they work great and replacing the bulbs doesn’t cost a lot! Plus, you can make them look pretty cool with some DIY flair.
I received the Amazon 24-Inch square lights as a gift, and they've been fantastic! I have a few steel shelving units on wheels from Amazon and paired them with these lights. They work great for my setup!
Nice! Are they energy-efficient? I’m trying to keep my bills down.
What model are those lights? I might check those out too!
