Yes, I recommend this light. Details below, but if not,its Very bright and my plants love it. i bought two after buying one sf1000. This light is great for 200w,it runs cool and takes up little to no hang space. Connections, powercable,plug,and driver are all good quaility. It is truly full specturm as my plants are short,with very thick stems,big leaves and dense foilage. The plants aren't streching for light as they are getting the full blue they need. The leaves are big and the lower/under growth is prolific (enough to rival MH lights let alone CFLs.) Meaning they are getting a decent amount of red in there too.(i have yet to fruit/flower but as most recent studies suggest,blue is just as important as red in flower for full expression of the plants traits, spicier peppers,more flavourful tomatoes etc) The addition of an Infra Red LED shows they have put some thought into the make up of the diodes. (this is why i bought the sf2000 aswell as it has two of these IR diodes) Im intrested to see if the fact that it doesn't have any UV specific diodes will be a detriment or loss , but as it dose have some UV by the very fact its light from 'white' LEDs i shouldnt see to many issues. Just certainly not as much UV A B or C as a HID,which is safer for your eyes I guess. Spider Farmer have really good customer service aswell. They answered all my emails within 24hrs and were happy to help. Really nice to see. It also came with racket hangers, which is nice. makes it more a complete light system. Some points to consider are, the cable/lead is not the longest, about 1.5-2m if I can remember. You will need and extension cable close if you are hanging it high(above large pots in a hydroponic system, far away from a power source in a polytunnel for example) The silicon protection over the face of the board is tacky/sticky and fragile..it should be treated as a bulb would be in a HID or CFL light. Dont touch it or rub it , it will peel. Raise it if you have to work under it. Other than that, it is a really good light and its worked flawlessly so far. It has a warranty for peace of mind. Anyway, yes, I recommend this grow light.Read full review

Plants love it ... When swapped from HPS, within couple days, plants looked amazing .. Have never looked heat stressed since ... Light spread is more evenly distributed across canopy ... Seem to stay greener and healthier through bloom compared to HPS ... Yield is therefor better ... Can run off normal timer ... No need for contactor or ballast, or big clunky reflector with scorching HPS bulb ... The 400W LED replaced a 600W HPS ... and plants have never looked so good ... so, power saving too .. Tho the heater will be runing a bit more to regulate temps and compensate for removing crazy temps from HPS .. But still far less overall than extra constant 200W from HPS ... No need to keep replacing HPS bulbs ... LEDs will last long time and remain efficient with age ... IF you need to switch lights off .. no need to wait 15 mins to switch them back on like HPS ... LEDs dont suffer from same limitations ... Can raise lights up higher than HPS could go if need be .. as just a flat plate .. not bulky scorching reflector hood ... Dimmer is a great touch .. Especially on the new model where they actually made it accessible ...Read full review

What a great light no heat problem any more going from a air-cooled 600 hps to this sf2000 but i do need 2nd sf2000 for my 1.2m by 1.2m tent and with a small fan above blowing down on light keeps it cool

Very pleased with these lights. They've saved me a fortune in leccy bills and the plants absolutely love them. Good for the entire grow cycle. They don't get particularly hot and are silent. I did a lot of research before forking out on these, I couldn't be happier with the product.
