I've had this light for a few weeks and it's been great so far. The plants are doing well and it has a color temperature that really makes them stand out. It's very bright at its highest setting but is highly adjustable so you can get the brightness level you need. I have mine running on a Kasa Mini Wifi timer and it always maintains the brightness level you last set. I can't speak for its longevity but it has a 3 year warranty so I'm not too concerned.
