MAXSISUN LED Review – MT450 Timer Control 450W (Full Spectrum) – Grow Light Review
The Brand
Although MAXSISUN have been around for a few years, they only recently gained in popularity and are now among the best-selling brands in the industry. In our MAXSISUN LED review, we look at the new product line they recently released and how they managed to differentiate themselves by not only offering highly efficient products at low prices, but also by remaining at the top of the innovation in the sector (full spectrum, timer control, ajustable brightness, on-screen programmation and remote control).
Furthermore, MAXSISUN LED Grow Light is originated from years of rigorous research and development, have been vetted by some of the best growers in the world and have been coming up more and more in comments and messages from LEDPlantLights users.
Because the newly launched MAXSISUN Timer-Control series LED grow lights can work throughout all plants grow stages from germination to harvest, they all come with Adjustable Brightness, Built-in Timer, Full Spectrum (including IR, well balanced PAR/Lumen output), and remote control.
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).
