KINGBO Review – 300W Double Switch (Full Spectrum) – LED Grow Light Review
The Brand
KINGBO is probably one of the cheapest LED grow light brand at the moment and many people are wondering wether it is worth paying extra money when brands like KINGBO offer the same power for a much lower price.
In our KINGBO LED review, we look at the new product line they recently released and how they managed to become one of the top brands in the cheaper range of LED Grow Lights.
Despite the price, the last KINGBO LED review 300W Double Switch comes with all the required features that any user would expect from a grow light bought today : full spectrum, dual optical lens technology optimizing the light output, easy to use veg/bloom switch, improved power efficiency and 3 years warranty as well as a full refund if returned within 30 days (which is quite standard in the industry).
Lastly, don’t forget that power is only one of the factors to consider when purchasing a LED grow light. When comparing grow lighting options there is a lot of information provided that simply does not cover the important characteristics of the equipment. For example, light “watts”: the watts of a light is a measurement of the power consumed. So it does not tell you anything about the quality of the light delivered. However, Watts can be important for determining your future electric bill, your thermal signature and for comparing the relative size of the light. But not for the quality of the lighting delivered. Hence, the two key measurements that matter in comparing the quality of the light delivered are the spectrum that the light includes (ie, the colors the light creates).
