I had no idea the GE was so large and not compact. Thanks for pointing out aspects of the grow lights that I hadn’t even considered!
Great videos on this topic! I've been running a few of the GE 32W in my home for my house plants actually, and I've had great success with them. I've been very curious about the other options on Amazon and I found your breakdown, very helpful!
Thank you for sharing information and knowledge. It helped simplify my understanding. Will seek out your other video presentations.
Would love a 2023 version, Sansi now has 32 W version with the design form factor of the 10 W here, would be interesting to see how it stacks up the GE winner
Fantastic series. Really helpful.
Glad it was useful Michael. Happy gardening!
VERY helpful descriptions and reviews, thank you! How loud is the built in fan in the Canagrow bulb you review?
Awesome video :) thanks
Glad you found it useful! Let us know if you have any questions :)
Thanks for the video!
You're welcome!
Great video 💯
I loooove how much you nerd out about grow lights!! Your videos are by far the BEST video content I’ve watched to date about indoor growing. Look forward to more!
Wow, thank you!
Hi, I just watched this and learned heaps, thanks so much 👍 Do you have any info on Non Screw In (click in??) bulbs, the ones with the 2 'legs'? But thank you for narrowing it down for us for the screw-in type! Spring is FINALLY here in Sydney and am excited to give the SANSI a go!

I have 4 10W Sansi grow lights and it’s fantastic considering its cost. I use it for my roses.
Before watching your videos I bought a Sansi 15W and it has been noticeably better than some random others I tried. I hope it is more like the 10w than the 24w. Thinking about getting a larger light, so thank you for such thorough videos! Going to try the GE for my bigger area.
Sansi has a bigger bulb 40watt I think. That's better!
@@avgrim7729- I knew they had a 40w but that bulb would fry my plants. It’s only better if you need a bigger one! I was using a reading lamp for two plants, so it was close and I needed a smaller one. I bought the GE for a different location and I wish I had gotten a smaller second bulb instead. Of course if you are doing a larger are or your bulb is further away then yes, the bigger one is better, you are correct.
I SO appreciate your straightforward and honest assessment of products. Thank you for the time and effort you put into your presentations. I'm curious--are you an engineer by training? Your knowledgeable and practical approach suggests it. Keep up the good work! My Best, Virginia
haha - yep! Is it that obvious?! ;)
thank you for the video, do you know any light that I could use for just complementing tropical plant like canna (the tropical flower), taro, birds of paradise or more but from the ceiling. about 3-4ft from the plant. thank you
The reason they still use watts is for people, like me, who don't understand a lot about grow lights. Using a comparison with or reference to watts helps me to understand what I am getting. I have bought grow bulbs and had to send them back because the color is completely off for not just my aesthetic, but can trigger or amp up a migraine. So, this is why I think Kelvins or color should be addressed more on packaging. The warmer, more yellow, incandescent look is what most people like and feel comfortabke with.
Love you video! Can you do a review on the Philips Grow Light 15.5w PAR38?
One day we hope to! What is it that interests you about this specific globe?
Lol. I WOULD choose the light to avoid 🤦🏾♂️. Time to switch
Wow, I checked the GE brand online in Canada, we are doubled your price.
I have a few questions , which I hope the channel , or someone who has some knowledge about grow lamps , could answer for me .
I'm currently storing around 20 small chilli plants , tomato plants on a ledge in my boat .
I haven't got a great deal of space here , so wanted to use a single light to help the plants get some much needed light during the dark days of March \ April .
My current desk light has a smaller Edison fitting , which I believe is E14 . I've seen a few cheap options to get a bulb for this as a grow light , but is it worth it ? Are there better options ? Would t be worth me getting another light to accommodate another type of more suited bulb ? If so which bulb ? And what are the risks of using a grow bulb in a normal light ?
I know , multiple questions , but the more I watch\ try to learn , the more questions that seem to get thrown up . I thought 🤔, how hard can t be to buy a bulb 😂.
Any solid advice much appreciated . I'm UK based .
Have you tried the Sansi 36W, or do you have any input on this specific bulb?
Great content!
On the Grow Light Calculator subject, I´d love to see hot peppers listed as a growing option.
Thanks.
Either your readings (ex. your meter) are defective or you had a defective 24W Sansi.. I’m wondering if you received the BR30 bulb which is really just more for general home recessed lighting applications while the PAR30 is Sansi’s actual Grow Light version. They look about identical. I actually just ordered from Amazon what’s listed as the PAR30 Grow Light but now that it’s about to be delivered I see further down the page they have the part/model number listed as BR30.. If that’s the case their selling the more basic Sansi lights as grow lights and I’ll be scolding them when I return it.
You forgot the hps 600 hundos, amazing output and also 200w cfls are okay too 👌
Thanks Chris. We haven't looked at these units. We cater to small-scale gardeners/setups that people might place in their kitchen or living room. The sort of units you're talking about are great, but not a lot of people want them in a living space.
Do you use the same lights flowers
All the screw in grow lights I have bought burnt out rather quickly, less than 2 months. Any one have recommendations for screw ins that last?
Hi, as you mentioned in your video that GE 32W bulb is good for flowering & fruiting plants, so I wonder if I could use that bulb for my foliage plants, such as Monstera, Alocasia, Calathea, and so on.
Absolutely! Flowering and fruiting plants generally require higher light intensity, making the GE 32W a good option for them, but it would also be a great choice for your houseplants.
@@GetUrbanLeaf any suggestions on a clamp lamp that can hold the weight?
Large scale light?
Hello, I can’t find the indoor edible gardening group on Facebook for some reason. Could you drop a link, if it still exists?
Of course! facebook.com/groups/GrowWithUrbanLeaf/
For flowering you recommend 32 watt GE "balanced spectrum"...not "red reproductive" option on amazon? Is the "red" one actually red because i hate literal reddish lights. I like warm colored but white. Thanks!
Yes, I think "balanced spectrum" would be much better for you then.
Do you recommend the lights as a substitute for daylight or as a supplementary?
It depends on how good your sunshine is. If you have 6+ hrs a day of DIRECT light you probably don’t need a grow light. But if you’re much less than that you will likely need a grow light if you want to grow edible plants
Hey there. I have a Meyer lemon tree that I keep inside all year. It’s in a south-southwest facing window but I use the soltech aspect pendant light that was suggested to me by the company and also via citrus. Would that be enough light for the tree to be happy? It is blooming and fruiting. I was just wondering about light because I’ve also been told that it’s not enough light. I was also recommended the groplanner 100 watt on Amazon.
Hi Kyle, hard to say without seeing your tree, but it sounds like everything is going well if it's blooming and fruiting. Especially if you have the tree in a southerly facing window, you should be all good. The rule for Meyer lemon trees is 6-8 hours of solid sunlight.
@@GetUrbanLeaf it doesn’t get much sunlight so I have a few grow lights on it. My tree is now losing / dropping leaves on the bottom branches and a little bit inside the tree. I’m assuming it needs more light?
@@GetUrbanLeaf any recommendations on grow lights? One that is a bit brighter than the aspect and doesn’t break the electric bill
5:30 link pls ..and is it for all stages?
amzn.to/3HdBSU5 and yes, this light is designed to be used year-round (although of course depending on what you are growing and that plant's specific requirements it may not meet maximum potential).
Dang, so I’m debating on buying the Haus Bright Smart bulb (just came out). It has cool and warm spectrum option that you can change, dimmers and timers that can all be controlled through the an app on my phone. Now I’m unsure if I should get it based on you’re feedback. They bulbs are 50 ea on Amazon and they would save me a lot of money and hiring a electrician. Plus I haven’t found any bright bulbs that have all the features this one does. Do you think it would be a bad purchase? I really would appreciate your feedback and wisdom on this. I’m using it for my indoor house plants that are mostly philodendron. They would all be going in a track lighting set up that would sit about 3-5 ft below my plants.
Hi Olive, we've not checked out the Smart version, but from what I can see it looks like the same as the 'Dumb' version just with smarts added(?) If you like this functionality, why not just add an inline smart timer/switch like here: czcams.com/video/fCKElIbmR60/video.html
Thes Haus bright ones have crummy (no) optics and seem very expensive on a $/PPF basis to me.
@@GetUrbanLeaf Thanks for your feedback. I do know there is a timer I can get locally near me, but are there any options on a light that is strong enough to put out a warm light besides the Vita grow light? I’m already going with the GE 32s in my room, but in the entry way I rather have a warmer bulb that matches my Barrina grow light. Thank you again for your help!
I was going for the Haus one too but now I’m unsure. It seems nice an aesthetic like the Soltech but a little more affordable
@@mercantilehousing Well technically it has more perks than the soltech. I’m not sure what to do now either. I might just have to go with the Sansi because the light has a warmer tint.
@@olivemaclean is GE32 Watt not the same temp(color?) also looking for warm.
Which one is best for a high hat for succulents?
following
White LED's are full spectrum. Because red, blue and green make white
There's a bit more to it than that, but you're headed in the right direction ;)
Still too expensive
Personally it aggravates me when they don’t have an incandescent wattage rating because this is what I have known all of my life and this is how I compare it so that I know what I am getting , maybe you need to consider the outdated dinosaurs that still live in this world
interesting perspective, and a very fair point!
Edit... Damn it... Ordered from your link. Got "It's now shipped" information... ONLY TO REALIZE ITS A 130V BULB... I live in EU... 220V!!! Grrrr... I am a DUMBASS!
Just bought the SANSI 10W from your link. If its not gonna work for me I will find you 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, if it is on the internet it seems 90% of stuff is geared to North America.
Its rigged... You "forgot" to take the Sansi 36w. It blows the s#!ł out of the ge's for lesser than half price. So its understandable why you have choose this collection of bulbs...
