Very well built in the USA. Easy to hang. Lamps and hanger already installed & it looks great. So good I ordered 2 more and case of 20 lamps. Flower grow better than ever. All 3 of my lights came well packed and in perfect condition.

Bright, daylight light
I bought this light to keep some tropical plants healthy during the winter, and to start seeds next spring.
The light is a bright, daylight colored light, and seems to be doing the job so far with the tropicals.

It's worth it
Purchased this item. Received in good condition. Nothing was damaged. Installed fixture via chains. Used a automatic timer at the power outlet... Its been running 12hrs on 12hrs off for a few weeks without any heat issues or other problems. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a simple seedling grow light fixture

Easy install
Very pleased with this purchase. I recieved my light and just had to open the box and hang it, plug it in and turn it on. Great light output for my orchids. I like having the option to run the 2 outer bulbs or the 2 inner bulds independently, though I haven't needed to use it yet. Sturdy and well built and a good price.

Just perfect for what I was looking for. Did'nt have to modify or do a lot of work.
Had toggle switches ready to modify the light fixture. But to my surprise this product is made to what I wanted to do. Two inside lamps for lower lumens and the two outside ones for more. And to adapt to my old light stand where I had a regular fluorescent fixture it was easy. For maximum height, I just unscrewed one of the chrome wire hanger end and straddled the 2”X3” wooden frame. Both features were not in the product description. Because of the different stages of growth, I will just adjust the plants to the light and not the light to the plant I’m very happy and so are my plants (I guess).

Indoor seedlings
Have been using these grow lights for years and have been pleased. I had one that lost one row of lights last year and could not troubleshoot or find replacement parts, so I purchased this new one. Works well for starting seedlings indoors in our basement.

This ViaVolt was a switch for me from T12 florescent bulbs in my greenhouse area because it is increasingly harder to find the T12s that I have used for 15 or more years. I am thrilled with how bright the light now shining down on my garden starts is! My tomatoes starts are not a bit leggy and everything looks so healthy and strong!
The unit was super easy to hang and I love the warm brown color

Nice light, short life
I purchased this fixture for my plants in 2018. Worked fine for a while. I replaced several bulbs, but now the outer 2 will not fire even with brand new bulbs. Four years is past the feeble warranty, but way insufficient for a light that costs over $150.
Sad, I want to like it, but the quality is just not there.

Great Fixture
I ordered 4 of these fixtures for my seed starting this year. They came very well packaged and I've had no issues so far with these fixtures. I'm having difficulty finding a T5 4 ft bulb that has a 6500K rating. I'm only coming across the 5000K rating bulbs that Home Depot carries in stock. It seems to be a great purchase so far.

So happy to receive these; sturdily built and great lighting...however, 3 years later ballasts are bad: blackened bulbs, buzzing and RF interference. Found them VERY hard to replace, not supported by manufacturer at all. I finally found some third-party ballasts but found them difficult to install as there are no instructions to aid you in repairing the fixture.
Great product out of the box, but in the end not reliable and unsupported by retailer and manufacturer alike.
I expected a longer useful life for the price.

I received my Via Volt T5 fixture in a reasonable amount of time. This is my second purchase of a Via Volt t5 fixture from Home Depot. The lights are securely packaged and are very high quality. I haven't had any problems with them. The first fixture is over two years old and still going strong!

If you order one I recommend having it shipped to the nearest store, open the box inspect it and have them plug it in to make sure it works.
My shipment had one of four bulbs broken, but I had more on hand so not a big deal for me. (They're also the cheap "Made in China" T5's and I'm replacing them with better ones.)
This is fairly light weight so very happy with my purchase, even with the one broken bulb.

The light arrived before the expected delivery date, and was well packaged. Installation was simple - I marked the ceiling, screwed in the J hooks and had it positioned in 15 minutes.
In just under a month of daily use, all my previously flagging plants have rebounded and I'm seeing new growth and buds. It does produce some heat, but so far, not enough to make the room uncomfortable. Actually, the dogs are found napping near the plants on most days!
Having investigated many grow lights on the market, this unit met all our requirements and was competitively priced. Well worth it!

first of all I purchased two of these lights last year and was so impressed that I purchased two more this year. It is a quality product that came shipped so well so as not to be damaged. Having two switches on the unit and a receptacle adds to the convenience.
