Grower's Choice ROI-E720 Review
The total light output of the fixture is an outstanding 1870-1924 umol/s with a reported efficacy of 2.6 umol/J. The light will flower a 4' x 4' area at very high intensity or 5' x 5' area at moderate to high intensity. Expect to use this light at around 6' to 24' inches above your plants depending on the footprint you want to cover and the light intensity you want to deliver to your plants.Read now -

NextLight Mega Pro Review
The fixture’s dimensions are 37.75" x 36.75" x 3.25" and it weighs 26 lbs. The Mega Pro arrives in the box folded in half. To use the fixture, simply unfold it and hang it up with the included wire hangers to expose the wide form factor.
The Mega Pro is all aluminum and has a minimalist look. The drivers and central control lie in the middle of the unit, while three LED PCBs sit on each side of the driver box. NextLight stuck with this design for the new fixture, which is similar to the previous Mega. This unique design is a breath of fresh air in an LED market crowded with bar-style fixtures.

ThinkGrow Model H LED Grow Light Review | ULTIMATE CONTROLLABILITY!
ThinkGrow designed this light to be modular which allows for compact shipping and removable and replaceable bars should one bar ever fail. The bars are fairly lightweight, feel pretty sturdy, and simply snap into the center driver assembly.
Once put together, the fixture is 45"L x 44.6"W x 4.44"H and weighs 38.8 lbs. The eight bars stretch nearly to the edge of a 4x4 tent. On one side of the driver assembly, you will find the power cord and controller receptacles. The other side houses the interface with the onboard dimmer and grouping control. A cord and NEMA 6-15P plug is included in the box. You can choose to add a NEMA 5-15P 120v adapter plug at the time of order.
