I'm curious about the reliability of Barrina grow lights. Specifically, how long have you been using them, and have any of them failed or stopped working? I've been using some no-name LED lights, and they're starting to fail, so I'm considering switching to Barrina. Any experiences would help!

They work well, but personally, I prefer the Sansi bulbs. I’ve got both Barrina and Sansi, and while the Barrina lights work fine, the Sansi don’t need to be as close for the same effect. Just something to consider if you're looking to try new options.
I used my Barrina lights daily through the winter and last year, and they’ve been great! One light started flickering, but no burnouts yet. Just keep the lights close to your plants for the best results—some need to be only a couple of inches away.
Wow, do you really need to have them that close? I have four per shelf, but mine are around 15-25 cm away.
I've been using mine for over two years—12+ hours every day—and I've never had any issues with them. Really consistent performance!
That’s good to hear! I had mine a little longer, but they’ve started to fail.
I've had my Barrina T5s since June 2021, and I run them for about 12-16 hours daily—usually closer to 16 hours. They’re still working perfectly, and I haven't had to replace any yet. Definitely reliable!
Same here! I’ve only had mine for about two years but I love my Barrina lights.
Thanks for sharing! I've had mine for around the same time too, but I've experienced some fail.
I’ve had mine for a year and a half, they're still going strong! I have them on timers, which makes life so much easier. Totally recommend them.
Timers are such a lifesaver! I have mine set up like that too.
Thanks for the tip! I might have to give Sansi a try if I need to adjust the setup.
