It certainly will be a light
I cant vouche for the quality.
Lighting is something you want to go tue extra mile with.

Might be easier to provide the link to the light on amazon. Seeing all the specs would help everyone determine what it would be best used for.

200w full spectrum LED will grow just fine. Product description says it is for 4x4, but I would say it is better for a 2x2. Hell, I use a 600w full spectrum LED in my 2x2, but I leave the light at the top at all times and let the plants grow to it.

No built-in fan, but not a problem. This actually makes the light take up less vertical space. Just throw a dedicated fan up there to push heat right to your exhaust.

Good price for a 2-pack. Mine were $50 a piece, so similar price per watt.

Overall looks like a good deal. Sometimes it is a bit of a risk trying a random brand, but I do it all the time and 90% of the time it works out and the 10% it doesn't was minimally wasted money, since random brand prices are much cheaper.

What size tent/room do you plan to use these in?

Oh, another thing to consider. Some of the lights on amazon say 200w, but they really mean it is equivalent to a non-LED 200w light in terms of light produced. The actual power draw is less. Then on the other hand, some manufacturers label it with its actual power usage.

For instance, mine is rated as a 600w equivalent, but draws around 140w at max power.

Edit: found the verbage in the product description.

"Low heat , low power,compact&space saving:Advanced LED technology, efficient replacement of 200W HID."

So it is a 200w equivalent. Looking at the image of the power converter, it has a max output of 36w. These will probably be good for veg stage only.

That will get you there yes.
Two plants max most likely. Good light.

There is an example of a manufacturer that labels their lights with their power consumption and not equivalent. That 100w light is probably equivalent to a 400w HID. Double the strength of the other light. You can definitely use this from seed/clone to harvest with good results in a small tent.

VivoSun is a good brand. That light looks like it might be about right for a 2x2 tent. I can't tell much about it from the picture.

just the fact its purple its probably one of those shitty lights. it will work but not as good as modern white full spectrum lights

and i cant see 600W in a 2x2 no way you have soo much space in flower to not burn the plant tents are usually 2m tall and there is not enough room for such power

It is actually lower wattage lights that will allow the plants to grow too tall. My 600w light keeps the plants short in my 4 foot tall tent. I can develop many branches before they reach 8-10 inches and then flip to flower. Tallest plant is slowing down on its stretch and is about 10 inches from the light. Next tallest plant still has over 12 inches. My plants max out at around 2 feet height. I have a grow diary going for my current grow if you want to check it out.

Also need to take into account that nearly every off-brand LED light advertises its wattage as the HID equivalent so they can show higher numbers on their product page. My 600w light is actually a 140w light. No way would I place a 600w HID in a tiny tent, it would get like 120 degrees in that.

that looks more realistic with 140W. it will work i allways loved the color of the tent. i will check out the diary if i find it
