Spider Farmer SF1000
#7 in Under 300 WFull review
A light, quiet panel for a 2x2 ft tent of seedlings, herbs or leafy greens. Good value for a first grow, though bar lights use less power for the same light.

2.8/5
A cheap starter panel for seedlings, microgreens or a few herbs. Spend a little more on a bar light for anything that fruits.

Pros
- Among the cheapest lights here, enough for a seed starting shelf or a few herbs
- Current version dims, so seedlings are not scorched
- Light and compact for a small shelf or cabinet
Cons
- Low efficiency, so it uses more power for the light it gives than any other light here
- Too little light for fruiting plants beyond a 1.5x1.5 ft area
- Maker pages disagree on warranty length

A cheap, simple panel for a 2x2 ft tent. Good for a first grow, though a bar light of the same wattage gives noticeably more light.

A simple, silent white panel for a shelf of seedlings or herbs. Hard to justify on price against the cheaper dimmable panels here.
