Would someone post a couple of pictures how to use it so that I may know why this is needed?I say it because it comes up when I see plant light I want

I can't add pictures in this message, but its used to hang your reflector hood. It makes it easy to bring down and up as you like. Its easy to put it up as your plants grow. Good stuff

Go to youtube and enter rope ratchet hangers, a few videos to choose from. Like you, I had no idea about these, but they do look useful.

You can use the white light. It looks cool on many of the settings. Really makes the other things in the tank "pop" like the colored rocks. If you would like me to send you a picture of the lighted tank on my favorite setting let me know.

Hi Sharee,This would most likely clamp to a rounded pole as there are rubber grips on the ends of the clamps. I am not sure what you are growing nor how tall/large the tent is so I cannot answer as to the best place to put it, but probably in the middle of the top, pointing downward to saturate plants with light evenly. Rest assured that the clamp is pretty strong and thus has no problem at all supporting both hood and bulb at any angle. I would also look into buying a timer to turn the light on/off automatically or ya may forget someday, only to find out you have commited plant-genocide. :-) Hi Sharee,This would most likely clamp to a rounded pole as there are rubber grips on the ends of the clamps.

hi friend, many customers use this item as fill light. Maybe it's not enough bright as a key light.

I really don't understand your question. The LEDs won't give you enough light for normal lighting. You should use the white and blue Florescent together for plant growth and day time lighting. I only use the LEDs for a night light.

I don't think it has enough power on its own, you would probably need quite a few of them to be effective. Also, I'm not sure if it puts out light in the correct spectrum for growing plants.

There is a separate connection to the leaves. Maker sure it's connected properly. If it still doesn't light up, send it back! I had problems with the main stem of lights. A section burned out after just over 3 months.

Wish I could help you, but.... I bought it a long time ago & I never had a chance to put it up. So it's sits in my garage until it's a priority.However.... I was thinking of posting it on a wood post. Like an outside lamp light post. Not to sure how yet. But eventually... I will get around to putting it up. Sorry not much help!

I would work along with a reflective holder. Placement should be pretty close. I used it in a dark basement and started seedlings. I had trouble, but found out that the topsoil I used was extremely inferior. The light was fine. I, also, lined the box that the seedlings were in with aluminum boil. The foil was a brilliant idea that I had ran across.

The light that comes with it is too weak for any but low-light plants. My tank is by a window, though, and I do use a weekly carbon supplement, Seachem's Flourish Excel. I have anubias, cardamine lyrata, and an unknown vine in there now, and they grow so quickly I am constantly pruning!

Should be ok. As suggested, you may want some floating plants (like duckweed) to filter the light if it's too much.

It shouldn't be too bright especially since you can control the angle of the light. Worse case scenario? Try it, and if it doesn't work it's very handy for a lot of other things....or send it back. I think you'll like it.

The light is pretty dang powerful and probably a little more expensive than necessary if you aren't trying to grow plants. I get algae in my heavily planted 30 gallon tank with it if I don't give it a break for a couple hours a day. I'd probably go with a different, cheaper light if I weren't growing plants. As for the stands, I don't think they offer anything other than the thin ones, you could probably rig something up to work with any set up pretty easily though.All that being said, this is a great light for the money. Good on power and very reliable/built well. Definitely a great light, just might not be what you are looking for.

It's not super bright...I still need natural light and overhead light to use it.

This light has those nm so it will help plants to grow. But it ready doesn't have enough wattage to cover enough area to feed the plant properly. I went up to a 7 watt bulb but it was still too low in wattage. You need at least 15 watts to get the proper color balance and cover most of the plant. like in my case grass seed for my cats in a planter. If you have several or a large plant you may need two 15 watt bulbs. Gives the whole plant better coverage.
