Love my 3000w Bestva LED. Have no complaints. Have bought from them in the past and I love that they stand behind their product. Highly recommend !!!
Carlos H.
I have four of the 3000W lights in my 11 x 13 room and my plants could not be happier. The lights are super bright and the fans do a good job of cooling them and aren't too loud. They only come with one ratchet strap and they recommend hanging the light from one ratchet strap at the center which doesn't make sense to me so I'd recommend buying your own straps and using 2 per light (one at each side)

Perfect for my 3x5 veg tent

This works great for the little indoor grow box I put together. Very low heat, quiet, plants respond really well to it. Great value for the price
D. Fish
Love these lights! Amazing difference, deffinitly worth the money!
mallory reynolds
Been running this light (12hr on/12hr off) for a week now and pretty impressed!
Paul
Super quiet & Very Bright !
Fernando
Amazing product and allows you to grow plants so fast! It shines like the sun litteraly. Currently im planting lettus, radish, flowers, and onions and they all tent to be growing very rapidly. Definitely recommend this product.
Roy robb
Love it does what I needed it to do
trent1209
Works great my plants love it
sean
Been on for 6 weeks straight, no issues and very bright. Wil buy another soon
alberto
Buy high end light! It repays!
Tony
22 Days into my first every indoor grow, everything appears to be working well
Ray Lane
Works great low heat and didn't add much to the light bill
Nathan Furman
This light was an amazing deal! Got it really fast and am using it as we speak to start my seedlings!
Great price!
John Hackett
Light is larger than other 3000 watt lights I've seen.
Shelly S.
I’ve got my peppers under this light and they love it! Be careful not to put the light too close to the plants or you will burn them! Great luminal output Great little veg. Light. They shipped fast. Great deal for the price!
Thomas’s Sister
Works great for the girls
Rick
Doesn't get hot, is nearly silent, grows stuff.
Andrew K
It’s nice and grows things.
wfunk46
I needed light to keep my plants alive over the winter months in our cold climate. Well. so far, they all survived and doing great.
Dan
The plants appear to like it
Patirck Uphold
No timer but they are cheap. Only problem I have is it burnt my plants.. I keep the light 16 - 20 inches from the plant top like it says. Make sure you keep it higher.
Elwood P Dowd
This is the best grow light I have ever used. It's just excellent.
Hakim W.
The light is built well, and very bright. The only downside is no veg and bloom switch. Its just on full spectrum or off. Its still new so i will see how long it last but great for now!
Danny
Product is great..my plants love them and are growing like crazy
Kenneth Biggers
Little smaller that I was expecting but it's a good product. I bought a second one.
Bang for your buck
It’s been in a timer for 5 hours know on my patio for increasing artificial sunlight during early morning and later evening. As you can see very bright also quite.
Postalemt
Very bright, it can put out heat however it’s not designed to the fans run quietly and is a great design we are very happy
Second one
Best value and works great
This is my 2nd one
W. R. Reed
These lights are an amazing bargain. I wanted mars but this was in my budget and the reviews looked promising. I am extremely pleased with the 2 I bought.
Ashley
I really like this light! I just changed over to bloom lights on a 12 on/off schedule to put my plant into flower. I’ll update this later to let y’all know how it goes. No issues so far. Some heat output but it’s just enough to keep my grow closet warm enough.
fender553
Really brings my tomatoes to life
RedZedHead
My plants needed more light. Once my plants had 12 hours under this lamp, they grew a thick vivacious green.
This lamp is so bright. my friends point it out all the time. I love this light.
Critical Tom
First one burnt out in 2 weeks. My plants were just getting started. Thankfully they sent me a new one in a few days. Second one grew some awesome starters for my vegetables
Trinity
Great grow light. Used in a grow tent and had fanatic yields. If you're able, watch the price it can drop $10 every few months and it's a steal for that price.
Destiney
So far so good. It does what it's supposed to without a ton of heat output.
John R Jackson Jr
I have a small greenhouse and a summer produce stand. Every spring my electric bill would skyrocked due to HID lights. I purchased one for a trial and will have more before next spring!
homas harvey
Good entry level grow light for young plants of all types. I’m growing golden dragon fruit seedlings and they are doing very well.
Bryan
But, I have to say, I am impressed with this lamp. I was able to grow from seed, then full veggie stage. I started off with the bloom phase with these LED's, but decided to switch to HPS lamp for Bloom. Didn't want to risk it, but overall happy with this LED lamp.
KBF
I’m just beginning, but I am getting professional advice from a CBD Hemp grower. This is what he uses and recommended this unit for my tent. So far, so good. Remember to purchase a light hanging kit that is adjustable. As my experiences grows (no pun intended) I’ll update my review.
Wes
Pretty impressed actually. I think this would only be good for up to 2 plants at most, but from seed to flower it has done a fine job for the price.
kyara duke
If your doing one or two plants then this will be just fine anything over that and you'll need a bigger light
Chrysalis80
I have been running this light 24/7 for 5 weeks. Started with high quality organic soil and since then I have added ZERO nutes. To say my plants are thriving under this light would be an understatement Exceeded all my expectations!
Ryan Butler
Been using this to start vegetables and flowers for out garden. So far it has been a great first grow light! We have our starts in a homemade insulated box to help trap the heat but otherwise I think a heat pad would be a wise investment to assist plant growth. The light output has been great though and we have a number of vegetable starts that are up and loving it!
Naquancampbell
It’s honestly a really good product it’s been 5 months she has been drop at least 2 time and she is running like a champ
541
It's a great powerful light, it was used to grow peppers, tomatoes, lettuce, spinach, and kale. All plants got enough light, maybe even to much. The electric bill went up by about 10-15 a month which Is not bad.
TOP
Although it’s cheaper than the other lights, this one doesn’t work very well. It’s very bright but preform not as good as other lights we have. The light bulbs and the technology they use for this light is not as advanced. I can only say that you pay what you have. This one can definitely work so for anyone in budget this is a good option.
J. P. Murphy
Works very nice. Very efficient: generates barely enough heat to keep my 10 sq feet 70 degrees f. The light seemed to burn my plants even when about three feet above. But other grows the light is wonderful. Seems solid, powerful, efficient, well ventilated and reliable.
ctznken
It's usually on 12 to 16 hrs a day. no problems and my plants love it.
Montreil cooks
I had to get educateed about grow lights at first on YouTube. I feel like I got second best. I'm content with that!
Fernando Veliz
Simply amazing. I was going to wait about 1 or 2 weeks to give my review, but the difference between the 3000W and my old lights was evident from day 1. After 5 days I feel confident enough to give these lights 5 Stars. Check all the other lights for sale and go through the reviews, you will notice 95% of those reviews are not verified purchases. Now check bestva LED and see how many verified purchase reviews they've got. That summs it up.
Christopher E Rogers
I was previously running an AgroLED, which performed well, but when it failed, I swapped it out for this one.
I saw a remarkable improvement in essential oil/terpene production, as well as over all trich production and potency. I'm assuming this is due to more efficient spectrum. I definitely recommend this light. A little pricy, but worth the investment.
Sir Trever The Magnificent
sorry it took so long for the first review but I didnt want to do a ton of updates. I bought this for a friend and he said its the best light he has owned. It is expensive but it saves in energy and it will last a very long time most likely because of the LED longevity. He started growing veggies and they are coming along great. A lot better then his last set up. He will let me know how the final product turns out and I will update this. So far, Love it, spendy, worth the cost.
john r.
Great value for what you pay, they might not be the fanciest or have some features that others have. Ei. Additional power outlets for piggy backing or dimmers. However, they grow flower extremely well!!! First hand knowledge, I purchased King Plus blah blah blah, can't compare quality or even results to bestva. Love this products yields in my grow. will buy again and soon
Tobias Wolf
I can't praise this light enough. All my peppers and tomatoes were so much bigger and healthier than even pro greenhouses around my area. Really gave me the jump start to the season for being in zone 4.
Follow-up:
I can't wait to buy this again when I get my larger tent (8 foot wide). Going to have two so the light overlaps a bit rather than getting one big one.
K. Miller
I have been running 5 different 300w to 1200w and this one by far is the best. The inner nodal length, the growth rate and the cost to operate is outstanding compared to all others. Now in the flowering stage THIS LED LIGHT THE SH*T.........You will not be disappointed and believe me when I tell you this because I do my research.
Keith S.
I received my light extremely quickly. It took 3 days total to get here and they shipped it right after my order on a Sunday even with free delivery. I even ordered other items at the same time and this light was the first to arrive. The light is extremely bright and easy to use. It also has a very nice feel to it, like it is solidly built. I was surprised how much it weighed. Hangars were included and easy to use. A little bit more length on them would have been nice for lower hangings but I am overall extremely impressed with every aspect of buying and using this light.
James
I have two of these now (one for over 2 years) and they are really good all around lights. Also, I lost my cord at one point and customer service mailed me a new one within a week, at no charge! I'm really happy with the product and the company.
scott layman
High quality construction! This is a well built light. Packaging protected the light during shipment. My plants LOVE this light. Quiet cooling fans, low heat, very bright light. I use this in a 3x3x7 grow tent and my plants really love this light. This is a replacement for a different brand LED light... and the differences were immediately apparent. You cant go wrong for your indoor grow with this light.
Neil Zelkin
I like the light. However, I bought it under the impression that it would be sufficient for my 4 x 4 x 6.5 tent. They advertise coverage in flower of 4.5 ft x 3.8 ft at 18 in of height. Not a chance. About a week into veg I realized that five plants would never get enough light with only one. So I did the prudent thing and bought another one putting me $800 in the hole. It still isn't enough light for a garden that over time has been culled down to only three plants. I feel like $800 should get me more.
Rich
I bought this light to replace a hps, it is my first l.e.d. I spent many hours researching and learning about l.e.d. lights in the grow room . I feel that for the money this is the best value, the light arrived packaged nicely and in perfect working condition. This is a quality light, well made and unbelievably bright, I am going to purchase eye protection and I would tell you not to look directly at the light when you turn it on for the first time.
If you are switching from hps to this light keep the light at least 20 inches away from your plants until they acclimate. I like the veg, bloom dual modes and the fan runs smooth and quiet enough for my small grow space. BESTVA offers a 3 yr. warranty and a 90 day money back return along with outstanding customer service. I will be doing a comparison of my old hps vs led , should be interesting, will post in a couple of months.
Jeffrey Roy
Wow. I've had the longer version of this one for about a month. These are the kind of quality you expect when a company is small and the engineers get to design the product instead of the accountants. Expensive? Well, I had a little sticker shock, but these are solid, beautifully engineered masterpieces. It's rather refreshing to know there are still things made so well. Get out of Walmart and buy these!
HJ
Amazing light, have a full spectrum 3000 watt led and it is nothong in comparisons. Noticible bud growth in comparison and the leaves started reaching for the light within a few miutes after hanging it. They are loving this light, and at 80 watts it is a steal. And it is supper quiet, like can barely hear the fans when it turns on!
I'm Impressed !
The old saying "You get what you pay for" is really true here. Yes it's a little pricey, but I just bought my second one. Hard to get good vegetables in winter (Wisconsin) so I thought I'd try growing some indoors myself. Wish I'd started a little earlier than late October, but my plants are looking far better than anything I've ever had in the outdoor garden. I've tried cheap grow lights for seed starting with what I used to think was good results. This light is worth a couple dozen cheap ones, and in the long run uses less power. If I had more room, I'd buy a couple more.
a Customer
i have a few of these and a few bigger lights from this company. have to say i have not been disappointed yet, read some comments and they said they couldn't get a light fixed or replaced i have done it twice on a total of 6 lights and yeah i had to wait about a month and you have to contact them a few times but you will get them back to normal or a new light. its not like they are walmart down the street it does take some time.
BigDiesel
I read many reviews about grow lights but these guys were the only ones to do a side by side real world comparison with the competition. My plants love these lights and thats what counts. I plan to buy at least two more 3000W lights.
I needed another light to fill my new 4x8 grow tent and decided to try the Mars Hydro TSL 2000. Seeing these two lights work side by side on 13 plants has worked great so far. The plants are in veg growth right now and both sides are growing at the same rate. The 3000W is hanging 6 inches higher than the TSL 2000 since its light intensity starts to max out on my meter at 6 inches futher away than the Mars. The TSL 2000 has a bigger foot print of light and is a brighter whiter light.
The plants will be put into flower at the end of October so we can see which performs better then. Right now if I had to choose a light it would be the TSL 2000. It is $70 less. Has a bigger spread of light and is easier to work under because it is a full spectrum white light. But...we will see which side flowers better in about 30 days. I have two types of plants and have a mix of both under each light.
KL Stewart
Bought a 3000W a year ago. Impressive unit -sturdy, high quality, produced great results for me (first grow). When I set it up this year the VEG lights didn't work. The BLOOM lights were OK. I sent an email to bestva and got a response a few hours later which suggested that if I wanted to I could lift the cover slightly and check the connection at the white plug. The plug looked tight. I disconnected and reconnected it. Bingo! Elapsed time five minutes. Got a nice return email from bestva offering their help if I ever needed anything again. A first class experience.
Redolent_Verdure
ery nice light. Once I started using the 3000W. My plants are looking 100x better. The fans are pretty quiet in comparison to my other lights. I have to say so far pretty happy.
UPDATE (1/8/17)
Just wanted to give an update on the lights. Considering I'm a beginner grower, with no experience and doing a full organic grow these lights are awesome. I'm about to purchase my third 3000W and not looking back. I had done a lot of research and even bought some cheap L.E.D's and glad I spent the extra cash. No problems so far.
Just as a side note I'm not paid or compensated at all just wanting to give and honest opinion.
Nate
I ordered this light because my 5x5x8 tent looked like it could use a touch more light. This thing is AMAZING. I put it over my plants for ahout 72 hours now and they've blown up. Im not talking normal growth but extreme. These lights are fantastic. I'm buying at least 2 more as soon as i get paid.
Ss
I purchased this light after a power surge killed 2 led lights i was using. The brightness of this light is amazing it covers the full spectrum. It has 3 fans which are quiet. It has a solid construction and comes with a mounting kit. Everything you need is in the box. So far the plants love it. I thought i would need 2 but it seems this is a true 3000watt light and the plants love it. It has great blue lighting in veg mode that is packing on the foliage. I also has a separate switch for bloom. It also can be daisy chained. No longer are the days you have ti spend 1000 bucks on a grow light. This light is a fraction of the cost and does exactly what you want it to do grow big buds. Just make syre you live somewhere where growing MJ is legal. This light gets 2 thumbs up
Trevor
I have bought over 20 of the 3000 watt led's. None of them have broken so far and my plants have been growing aggressively ever since I started to use them. I will continue to keep buying these light when I need them and will always reccomend these lights for a good budget friendly led light compared to other lights that are $500+. Have 8 of them going in a 8x8 tent, have a 4 inch outtake and a 4 inch intake fan and the temp only gets to about 82 degrees when they have been running for 12 hours with both settings on. Have yet to yield from these lights but everything looks great entering week 5. Will update and keep posting as it progresses from beginning to end.
Chris
This is the best led grow light as i tried. It owns 2 switches, which takes best advantages of spectrum for different periods. it makes plants growing much more stronger to use this kind of led grow light. when tent comes, i will come again.
Kenjmorford
It has two light switches to give you a choice of what you need most for your plants. I like that it came with all the hardware needed to hang the light! That was a big plus.
Glynn Nichalson
Very good buy! The plants love these lights and these are the cheapest 3000 watts available at the moment.
Kindle Customer
I have never had my Christmas cactus bloom this early or this beautiful with so many bright blooms. I would highly recommend this light to grow anything.
J. A. Minor
I purchased this so that my lemon, lime and grapefruit trees I could over winter in my basement, the results are phenomenal All my plants are thriving under this light most are still blooming. greatpuchase.
Top Prospect
Bruh. I’m 3 weeks in some autos and I have never done this before. I will buy these lights even when they bust.I suggest running on full spec after you get you seeds popped. Make sure your nutes and you temp/humid is good and watch it happen. Happy with all my purchases from this one
Faygo Turkey
Works great was worried about quality at the price but its extremely nice made of metal and the leds have a clear piece of glass over them to protect from damage as well as 2 cooling fans. Ive had no issues at all running it 24hr/7 days a week for 3 months
Greg O
I would recommend this light for any new grower or a seasoned veteran. The light is really bright, the fan's addre really quite and my "girls" cannabis plants just love it! One of the best things about this light is that it Does Not put off alot of heat which is one of the biggest obstacles any grower will have! If you buy one, you will not be disappointed! I will be buying another 1! This light will give you the biggest bang for your buck!
Chad
It does a 8x7.8 at 24inc .I love that cuz my grow room is 6x3.4 at 9ft hight so I can put this light at top of my room have 48inc fro the top of a 3ft plant it gives me 4 ft of flowering room n his 480lux at 4ft n 780 at 2ft from canopy love this light so far so good it kickass n veg stage yet too see it in flower
Andrew Pettus
Great light for the money, I was previously running two of the CRX sunny x6 Cob LEDs which were 1800 W each around 300 actual I replace those with this which is 615 actual as a much better spectrum I think took three or four days for the plants to adjust to the switch but they’re loving it now I will throw the cobs back in to flower Because honestly the more light the merrier but I am going to do a run and flower with this light eventually, This light is very solid runs very quiet and very cool I had to throw a heater in my tent to bring the temperatures up, the hangers are very sturdy all in all so far I would rate this light five out of five coverage area is great Far exceeds what I need for my 4 x 4 tent, I hope this helps when I was purchasing the slight they were not A lot of reviews for the 3000 W so if you buy this please be sure to share
Anonymous
I've used this light for almost a year now. This is my first led grow light. I completed a full grow cycle from start to finish. The heat compared to a HID grow light is night and day. I use two inline duct fans, one blowing air in and one blowing air out. The led has fans on its own work well to cool the unit, so with additional fans, heat is a nonissue.
The only issue I have is the light is held up in such a way that its configuration, makes the light hang a little too low for me, even when raised at its highest level. Other than that, the price was a little high when compared to similar led lights in the same caliber of intensity.
Great light, would buy this brand again.
HeadSetJones
I have been using 24 of these lights for about 10 months now, on 12/12 about 90% of the time since I purchased them.
They perform well for LEDs for the price and are very well suited for high reflectivity areas and a small footprint. If you are considering these for a larger footprint expect to use several of them to cover a modest area. Don't get me wrong though, overall we are satisfied with our purchase because we came into it with proper expectations.
Their real wattage measured by a kill-a-watt is about 515W. I always run both red and blue LEDs on, I do not supplement with lights pushing only red light.
Their heat output is extremely manageable, about 92 degrees off the top of each light with good ventilation. Running higher temperatures with adjusted CO2 these allow you to place a ton of these in a single room while still keeping the leaf temperature in that perfect 85-95 degree range for a proper metabolism. Even in the heat of the summer (82 degrees intake air, room air cycled every hour give or take) and a dozen of these in a relatively small room with a 10k BTU mini split AC and leaf temperature was relatively easy to maintain.
Attached images are from an Apogee SQ 520 with 1 second interval. This sensor only measures up to 700 nm and this light produces a modest amount of red light from 700-780. Taking that into account is left to the reader, light outside of the PAR range being useful for horticulture is not scientifically supported though there is anecdotal support for it helping resin production.
The measurements weren't taken terribly scientifically, but I wish I had seen the same measurements taken when considering these lights. Hopefully they're useful to someone else in the future. My methodology was simple - hang a tape measure from the light and move the sensor (perpendicular to the long edge) at the given height from directly underneath one edge of the light to approx 8-10 inches past the other edge of the light and back again. Assuming you need about 900 umol minimum for 40 moles per day in 12/12 flowering, 15.5 inches max umol is 880. 13.5 inches has a max of 1029.
Overall, if you're more concerned with leaf temperature / electric bills than up front price per square ft of coverage area, these lights are a great choice. If you're a home grower setting up a tent these are a great choice. If you're in a cold climate and/or are not concerned with the operating cost, price shop CMH and assume you'll need 2 or 3 of these to match the coverage area of a 1000W. I debated between 3 and 4 stars, but the over abundance of anecdotal 5 star reviews makes me want to lower that trend. These lights aren't perfect and won't perform well in every scenario unless you carefully manage your expectations.
I will update this review with charts for my specific setup at some point when I get the data together.
Firat Koc
Very good product and very good customer service. The company is 100% behind its products and customer. One of the most reliable companies I ever stumbled upon.
wwc96
Awesome light for the money with decent light penetration, customer service is super responsive.
Dan
Reduces heat of traditional HPS systems and lower power draw great light output so far results look very good I was very skeptical to try LED I believe now it is a very smart choice and good investment
Alan Smith
Very good coverage and par numbers for the dollars spent. The light is not as efficient as high end lights. Light does have higher heat but active cooling handles it. Like the three year warranty.
wes pershall
Very satisfied, the only thing I’m not crazy about is not being able to daisy chain. I didn’t do enough research and actually check out bestva’s actual website where they offer a 4000w, or the 2700w with daisy chain capabilities, but that was my bad. Super happy with the light though overall. Great starter light.
Shama
Very bright, performed much better than expected for the price. Mounting hardware was strong but not hard to open like some are. Standard adjusting strap worked well.
Timmermeyer
Other than it's a little more expensive, the purchase is worth every penny. Our vegetables are growing at a much faster rate than any other light used. Quality of the output is more than I could anticipate. Easy to see up and use. As long as you have a strong base to anchor from, this light will satisfy all of your home grow needs.
Rosa Johns
Quality light. Definitely puts out some light. Very quiet, and built in fans do a good job keeping up with the heat. I use it to veg a 2.5’ x 5’ x 6’ grow tent. Does nicely. Plants love it!! Will update when I use her for flower later on!!
Sunsailor
Works great. Three fans all run quiet. Gets warm but not too hot. Includes switches for growth and bloom cycles. I’d like more of these in my greenhouse. It is NOT waterproof...just sayin’.
Eric
OMG... It's so bright (the 3000W BESTVA) it looks like it's emitting pure white light! For small personal growing this light is a stupid easy choice. Very well built. Cannot beat this price.
I'll review a few months after I see how well it does.
Sydney Swimmer
There's no heat to speak of and ranks with lights 3 times the money. Really is a great light however don't believe that it covers 7 ft or more. How bout the truth 4 ft plus. Prob replaces a 1000 w hps. NOT 2. Other than the over the top bragging. The best I've found for the money
Matt
Still in the process of trying out. Was running s little hot so I reached out to them. They were incredibly responsive and helped ease my mind regarding my concerns. Hope to eventually bump this up to a 5 after I have a couple months under my belt with this light. Great company! UPDATE: I've been using for a little while now and couldn't be more please with my choice. After the fan get's going, it's really effective at cooling and with a little extra fan, the temps almost aren't a concern anymore.
Adel
Always nerve-wracking to try to balance power vs. cost. I am very pleased with this light for veg and bloom. Very bright.
I have two of them in my 5x10 tent... good coverage.
Elissa
I was a big fan of this light until a large section of the LEDs went. This unit has only been in operation for three weeks at 18hrs a day. I was expecting to at least get a year or two out of my nearly $400 dollar investment. They claim unit has a 3yr warranty. I’ve contacted Bestva. I’m confident they will make this right. I will update review pending their response.
Update
BESTVA completely replaced my light. BESTVA 100% stands behind their warranty and dealing with customer service was easy and upfront. The new light arrived within one week and performs well. You can trust this company. Thank you BESTVA!
