Barrina T5 Grow Lights for Indoor Plants, 2FT 5000K Full Spectrum LED Grow Light with Black Cover, T5 Grow Light Strip, Under Cabinet Plant Light with Switch Cord, Linkable, Plug and Play, 4 Packs

After MUCH frustration trying to find effective lights for my BioActive reptile habitats that didn’t cost hundreds of dollars, I came across these. The plants in my habitats started doing SO MUCH BETTER that I bought more sets for my aquariums, houseplants and as a gift for someone who I built a snake BioActive Vivarium for.“Hobby specific” lights are LUDICROUSLY expensive. I absolutely refused to pay $400 for a Jungle Dawn light. These Barrina lights are slim, lightweight, have a beautiful hue even underwater, are linkable and my plants are growing like crazy. and OMG they end up being like 10 bucks apiece?! Sign me up!!In addition to all that, the company sends you multiple options for different sized links to attach them and sends you multiple options for mounting them: SUPER STRONG double sided tape that’s more than strong enough to hold the light, zip ties and metal hardware. It’s like if you bought curtains and they sent you every option of curtain rod, too. Really fantastic.So far, ALL of the lights have held up really well to the humid (60-80% humidity in the Vivariums) and sometimes even WET conditions. Some of mine are literally hovering only a couple of inches above moving water. I had one light bar burn out but it was ENTIRELY my fault… the temporary and strong “bubbler” I put in was directly under the light for a decent amount of time and it filled with water. I didn’t notice until it was too late. Again, totally an airhead move on my part.They also have an on/off switch on the power cord AND on each individual light bar, as well. Very smart. 👍I’m in multiple hobby specific groups on FB where people are CONSTANTLY asking for recommendations on lights. I have a few paragraphs saved in my notes app so I can copy/paste the recommendation for Barrina lights. So, guys, if you have noticed a serious uptick in sales this last year… that would be me! Haha. Ive recommended them a gazillion times to Vivarium and aquarium enthusiasts.All around EXCELLENT product. Effectiveness, value for the money, durability… everything. I cannot recommend them enough!Buy. These. Lights!

I am using these lights on a shelving unit for grow lights.PROS: 1. Each light has a switch to turn on or off SEPARATE from the other lights. The feature is there according to your needs and preferences.2. I’m using them for AFRICAN VIOLETS and the Kelvins are perfect for them, or other indoor plants.3. Provided with the lights were 3 WAYS to secure them….including sticky tape, zip tie.4. The actual LUX of lights were CONSISTENT.5. An END CORD was provided to plug ALL the lights into ONE outlet.CONS: 1. The cords provided needed to be replaced because they were too short to reach the next shelf in my new larger shelf. The only way is if the shelves are close together, but even then, ITS NOT IDEAL to be pulling on the cord toreach another light on the next shelf.2. The sticky tape, double sided, failed and I would not use them to permanently secure the light. PLEASE DO NOT TRUST THEM TO PERMANENTLY FIX THE LIGHTS!! They will fall INTO YOUR PLANTS!!!I am using the ZIP TIES TO ENSURE they won’t fall again, which did damage to a beautiful plant.3. I had an added cost because the cords to daisy chain the lights were too short. To give you an idea, my shelves are 20” apart so can judge how it works for you according to the length of the cords.The lights themselves are EXCELLENT and do an excellent job of being grow lights, however, you CANT FORGET that the double sided tape is NOT secure, but the zip tie is. As long as you don’t mind using zip ties, and you are ok with possibly needing longer cords to connect the lights.I’d HIGHLY recommend this product because the lighting is EXCEPTIONAL for your indoor plants that don’t have a good window to put them in.BUY WITH CONFIDENCE!!!

I have used these lights in the past, and now they finally come in black. I have never had an issue and love there ease of use. These are some of the best grow lights in my opinion.

After getting sick of cheap grow lights with the built in digital timer/dimmer switches breaking, I opted for these with the manual on/off switches. I have them plugged into separate mechanical timers so they’re more reliable and versatile. These lights seem to be good quality, and at a good price. We’ll see how long they last and if my plants like them, but I love how many different configurations there can be with all the supplies included. They’re super easy to install and they emit a natural cool-white sunlight tone. Simple sleek design, less stuff to break, and allows for flexibility with your light set up needs.

Good lights. They're weak for heavy duty plant growing but good enough for some medium-light-requirement plants (I use them for Calatheas and Pothos). Easy to install, I love that they can be daisy-chained and that they can be all individually turned on and off.
