Oh for sure! I was being serious : ) can you find an actual wattage usage sticker or info? That will give you an idea of what to expect. Like im using a sf1000 which is only 100watts and that little lights banging bright! And grows some really nice small area plants

17,49 $ led ain't 2000W ... but probably very low watt wich won't be enough for flowering ....

there's no cheap chinese led from shadowy brands that will give magical results, you'd better save a little more money and get a TRUE 100W light from a renowed brand (spiderfarmer, hlg, ac infinity, vivosun, phlizon, lumatek, viparspectra, mars hydro) for 80$ or so.

Full spectrum is usually white....
Bluprle lights look amazing but nobody uses them anymore because you get a lot more from white light

I have a fake spider farmer from aliexpress i think they allsoo said it was some huge wattage but its 70w from the wall and it grows some really nice buds. But in a tiny box.in a 1x1 it made a big plant with few tiny buds still got 30g but it looked like amateur hour

Sorry to say that but definitely wrong choice.
Burple china lights suck. Stop the order or send it back, imo listen to @HerbalEdu and choose another more expensive option, worth it!
Going to use mine for clones and seedlings soon but not happy to do that.
My 45w additional china light(the bigger one) is bad! Very slow growth rate, only useful as additional light.
Will be replaced soon to have a normal growth rate.
Don't expect anything from yours as well.
My regular light is a viparspectra xs1500 pro upgraded 2023 I highly recommend. The 2024 is slightly worse

seeing it's price, it's actually nearly the same ...

led component price is usually rather proportional with the true watt they use and efficiency.

None of those were at any level a good choice.

You have a costco nearby?
for your money these bulbs can get you going esp for the price. Until you settle on something to flower with maybe just trying to help.
