Product was shipped in a discreet package.
Unit comes with power cord, instruction booklet and hangers in order to hang the light on your grow tent or grow space.
Does not come with adjustable light hangers but luckily I had my own.
The light itself looks to be well built. Everything is sturdy.
Using in a 2.5x2.5x63 grow tent
Currently running just veg at a height of about 18 inches and plants are loving it. Medical Cannabis(prop215) and Tomatillos
Unit has two fans, one runs during veg and both run during flower when both switches are on.
They are very similar to computer fans, not very loud at all unless you focus on it as others have mentioned; it is in a grow tent so that helps reduce the noise.
The light does not give very much heat; I am able to place the back of my hand on it and not feel any discomfort. raises the ambient temp by about 5-6 degrees
My plants are loving it, and are very perky!
At first I was hesistant about the light but a three year warranty and a 30 day money back guarentee means I have nothing to lose, and if the light performs, it would pay itself after a successful grow.
I will keep this review updated after testing the bloom during my flowering stages, and if there are any problems with the light.
Update 6/14/2017:
If you can maintain a good temp in your tent, you can place light as close as two inches away although the closer you get to the plant, the less light spread you're getting so keep that in mind. I placed it two inches away during the end of the bloom cycle in order to attempt to get more trichomes.
Normally was kept at a distance of 6 inches - 12 inches.
I used the VIPARSPECTRA 450W the entire bloom cycle using both the VEG and BLOOM lights on.
I harvested my cannabis flowers (prop 215) and they are currently curing.
Got 36 grams from one plant that was vegged with a 96 watt T5
All the flowers I harvested were very frosty. The tops were dense, as I got closer towards the bottom it would become airy.( I pruned my cannabis plant quite a bit because I was expecting this light to not have much penetration and did not want my plant wasting it's time. Good thing I did prune.)
From my observation this light can only penetrate 4-6 inches below your canpoy. This would vary depending on your strain; especially if they're straight indicas as they tend to block more lighting due to their leaf structure.
You will definetely want to low stress train your plant/s in order to create more tops as anything below that 4-6 inches will be very airy buds
Overall for my first grow, I believe this light did it's job and I know with proper LST on a plant and perhaps topping as well you can get a good harvest that is worth it for a personal grow.

Selectable Full SpectrumTo meet the different spectrum demands of vegetative and flowering stage of plants growth, the V450 uses separated VEG and BLOOM switch to control the veg and bloom spectrum individually. Note: Please turn on both VEG and BLOOM switches for flowering stage. |
Excellent PAR OutputThe Reflector Design increase PAR Output by 50% is scientifically engineered to keep the balance with excellent PAR Output and suitable Coverage. This design reflects more light to the plants, at the same time will not far too concentrated in the middle of the growing area which results in stunted plant growth and sunburning. |
Convenient Daisy Chain FunctionThe daisy chain feature which assists growers to use multiple lights together with less outlet. No additional cords is needed, just simply plug in the provided power cord into the second light's outlet to achieve connection among multiple units. |

HOW TO COMPARE LED GROW LIGHTS?
If you have been researching LED grow lights for your plant growth facility, you have likely been bombarded with a variety of metrics that lighting manufacturers use to market their products: watts, lumens, LUX, PAR, PPF, PPFD. In our opinion, you want to buy a lighting system that delivers the required amount of light to your plants. In order to explain the correct method for evaluating a horticulture lighting system, let’s first highlight two of the metrics used today that you need to avoid:
RULE 1: DON'T FOCUS ON THE WATTAGE OF THE LED'S. Do you use 5W, 10W, or 15W LEDs? We are asked this question on a frequent basis, but the wattage of the LED use in light does not tell you anything meaningful about the lighting system's performance since LED and fixture efficiency varies widely. Remember, the LED wattage is a system input, and growers care about the system output--PAR Output. Hence, the lighting system using 10W or 15W LED wattage doesn't deliver more light to your plants than lighting system using 5W LED wattage.
RULE 2: DON'T LOOK AT A SINGLE PPFD MEASUREMENT. Unless you are growing a small plant directly under your light, a single PPFD measurement doesn’t tell you much. By clustering the LEDs closely together and using narrow beam optics, it is very easy for a manufacturer to show an extremely high PAR measurement directly under the fixture. However, unless you are only growing one plant in this exact location, you need to know how much PAR is being distributed across the entire canopy.
Three important questions you should look to be answered when researching LED grow lights are:
Question 1: How much instantaneous PAR from the fixture is available to plants (measured as PPFD)? Question 2: How much PAR is being distributed across the entire canopy? Question 3: How much wattage is used by the fixture to make PAR available to your plants?
The three key metrics of the V450 used to answer these questions are:
|
|
|
|
|---|---|---|
PPFD directly under the FixturePPFD is photosynthetic photon flux density. PPFD measures the amount of PAR that actually arrives at the plant, or as a scientist might say: “the number of photosynthetically active photons that fall on a given surface each second”. PPFD is a ‘spot’ measurement of a specific location on your plant canopy, and it is measured in micromoles per square meter per second (μmol/m2/s). |
PPFD over a 2.5’x2.5’ AreaIf you are growing over a 2.5’ x 2.5’ area, you need to review the PPFD levels over the entire area to calculate the average light level the lighting system is providing. If you only had a center point measurement you may assume a fixture is extremely powerful. However, you would need multiple measurements across the 2.5×2.5 grow area to calculate the average amount of PAR that is provided by the fixture. |
Actual Power DrawIn general, for well-designed full spectrum lighting system, the higher actual power draw is, the higher PAR Output a lighting system emits to plants. The actual power draw from the wall is a system input, and growers care about the PPFD output . |

Colorado Grower's First Time with LEDs
This is my first experience with any LED grow light. Strange that Viparspectra doesn't have a website, but I ordered anyway. I used this light to veg out 2 small Afghani plants, and flowered them for 5-6 weeks before adding a 150w HPS. Good resin production on the buds and everything, I just feel like the LED isn't producing the sized/density colas I'm used to with HPS.I just have a small 2x4x5 grow tent, so I think what I'll do is veg with this LED panel, and use my 150w Sun System HPS to flower. I may even buy another 150w HPS for the tent for better lighting.I rate this a 4/5. If you just want a small grow and aren't worried abotu the best possible results, I recommend picking up one of these lights. Best for a small grow in my opinion.EDIT 12/7/16 :So since I added the 150w HPS to my grow, i've kept each plant under each light i have, one under the LED, one under the HPS. I'm a few days from harvest, and i have to say, the LED seems to produce just as dense of a bud as the HPS, but slightly smaller. i'm not sure if this is due to the light, or the fact that i had nute burn on both plants, but i only flushed one of them out. i lost track of which plant was the one i had flushed, so i'm not completely sure.so overall, this LED light has definitely surprised me. i thought LEDs would suck, but i'm sold. i'm thinking about going bigger and getting one for a 4x4 tent. i'm very curious to see how well the light penetration is with the LEDs by themself.Thank you viparspectra! Hit me up if you'd like me to test and review some products for ya!!!
