Vivosun VS1000 Grow Light Review: a Solid 2x2 Budget Light (PPFD Test Results for 16 Hang Heights!)

Good build quality, a nice chip choice (LM301H) and a competitive price makes the the Vivosun VS1000 a great budget option in a sea of 100W watt 2x2 lights. In this video, we'll unbox it and put it through its paces with power, temperature, and high-res PPFD testing from 6" to 36" hang heights.

3 or 4 yrs now following you and its so great to see you hit a mark in the industry that is needed. Honest light testing. Much appreciated for your work🙏

Vivosun sent me the same light for review, and growing a farmers market jalapeno under it. Currently around 30" high by 24" wide and fruiting. Really like the light. I don't have the sensor, and wondered about the PPFD maps. So when you posted your video, it made my morning! Thanks.

Well done brother, great to see how these lights actually stack up against each other, look forward to seeing more and keep up the stellar work :))

I love your videos, you have given me a new love for growing. I am so fascinated by your grow setup. Keep up the good work!

Did the website change? I’m going to be planning a new grow soon and am researching lights

[killgoritoII]

I have this in a 4x4 tent I wish I had seen this but my plants seem to be doing fine I wonder how much more I could have grown with 2 lights

[biggrigg]

I have this light that came with my 3x3. Currently have two seedlings inside it. I’m guessing I need to add as second light to the tent to get better results.

Do you know if the VS1000 will have the sunrise sunset capability is paired with a controller? I feel like that would be less of a shock to plants then snapping on suddenly

[charlesbattle]

So if this ment for a 2x2 tent, why do they sell the same VS1000 in a 36x36x72 and the 48x48x72 tents what's funny is that the spider farm SF-1000?

[Gsaintx]

How far would you recommend this light being from the plants in weeks 1 & 2? Also In a 2x2 with 2 AutoPlants in 5gallon fabric pots.

[charlesbowers]

Do you have any thoughts on the Spider Farmer SF2000 lights for a 2x4 tent?

Just Arrived mine from canda but I live in Spain where light goes at 220v. Can anyone tell me if can I use It with a normal travel plug adapter or I need to buy a more expensive power Converter? Thanks!

[NINERSable]

Can you daisy chain 2 of them and connect to smart hub?

[socksrfootjail]

May be a dumb question but will this light grow a plant from seedling to harvest, or would I have to get a different light for different stages?

[jdavidblais]

I just bought a vs2000 for a 2x3… is it tooo much ??

[drewdopeia]

Can u connect this light to ur phone ?

False advertising on Amazon.. Finally the panel IS in my hand. In Amazon was advertised with 301h Samsung diodes but in 2022 mine came with 301D (IS printed on the manual) and those are inferior. Not even the 301B....not Happy at all about false advertising (Amazon).. otherwise this panel looks awesome and well built.
