Hello farmers,

I am currently planning to set up a grow box 24x24 or 32x32 indoor for 3 plants.
I am looking for a grow light and among the several options I got spammed by Amazon with some relatively cheap products.
I would like to have your opinion on those products and maybe some tips on what to look for when purchasing a grow light.
The products I found are, for example:
- VIVOSUN VS1000E LED Grow Light, 2 x 2 Ft. with Samsung Diodes and Sunlike Full Spectrum for Indoor Plants, Seedlings, Vegetables, and Flowers - 131$

- FARMLITE Grow Light LED Grow Lights for Indoor Plants 240Watts Full Spectrum Growing Light Plant Hanging Growing Lamps Seedling with Samsung 1056pcs Diodes Daisy Chain Dimmable Board 4x4ft Coverage - 230$

- AC Infinity IONBOARD S22, LED Grow Light Board with Samsung LM301B Diodes, Deeper Penetration and Dimmable Full Spectrum Lighting, for Veg Bloom Indoor Plants in Grow Tents Greenhouses (2x2) - 185$

Can you advise me if these are valid products for what I want to set up?

Thank you

Take a look at Mars TSW2000.
Inexpensive for what it is, small enough for your 2x2 tent and big enough for when you upgrade to a 3x3 tent.
Adjustable power you can dial it in for your 2x2 no problem.

Thank you. And among the options I listed, do you see anything attractive?

I havent used them

I have used my mars hydros for a long time with great results. 3 Years same lights no issues

I have a couple requirements for any light I buy. First, it must have a continuous dimmer (as opposed to no dimmer, or a stepped dimmer). Second, it must have a detachable driver, so I can move the driver outside the tent to keep the temperature down. I don't think the Vivosun you listed has a dimmer, so I wouldn't buy it.

For anyone reading this before buying: ArtfulCodger's checklist above (continuous dimmer, detachable driver) made it into our grow lights by tent size guide, which also covers how to spot an inflated "1000W" listing and the budget lights members run most in 2x2 and 3x3 tents.
