@GrowTina Thanks again! I just received the light. I will be posting some images and my first impressions. Please say thank you to the Bestva management team for deciding to sponsor our forum. Having this place makes a big difference in our lives.
To other members that are frustrated or confused about the process. There is a minor language barrier but with some patience, we were able to get through it. Only a few days and the light was in my hands! I would say that is a definite win just for being a 420 mag member.
Please let me know if you have any questions. You are welcome to PM me and if I can offer assistance, I will do what I can. I am far from a light expert. It is one of the areas where I need to improve my knowledge base.
Here are the boxes as they arrived from Amazon. As you can see, there is nothing on their box indicating it is a light or any branding of any kind.
Here are some overall and close up pics of what is inside.
Here are pics of the user manual. I figured it would be helpful to include it.
My first impressions...
I was a little confused about which side of the box to open. There is no print, branding, or anything for that matter on the outside of the box. I ended up opening the top side of the light. That sucks because it makes it more difficult to get it all the contents packed up nearly. You probably want to open it from the led side. I'm being picky but that annoyed me.
The light itself is sleek, well built, and includes some good hardware for hanging. I really like the look of the light itself. I am not a light guru! Please forgive my ignorant initial first impression.
The dimmer dial has a bit of an issue in the lowest setting. To turn it on, you need to increase the power to 15+% before it actually turns on. Then I was able to dial it down to the lowest setting which is 5%. Not a big deal to me personally but figured I would mention it.
I have not hung it or used it on a plant yet. I will be doing that soon. I only unboxed it, plugged it in, and took pics. So far, I am very impressed! I feel fortunate to have been selected. Being a newbie indoor grower, I feel like I have a good light to grow some decent buds. I think it is fair to say this is a good budget to intermediate light to start with if you're buying it outright. I have a 5x5 Mars Hydro tent. I will be putting this light in the front left portion of my tent. I'll have 4 sections that are 2.5 x 2.5. I think this light will suffice for that area with no problem. That's all I have for y'all right now. If there are any questions or something you want to look into more carefully, let me know.
