SANSI - 36W Full Spectrum LED Grow Light Bulb

I bought this Sansi 36W light to try and get a head start with my chilli seedlings, this is the first batch and are Capsicum Baccatum's and Capsicum Chinense. I have never used a light or lights before so I cannot compare this to any previous experience and it is a bit of trial and error at the moment. The propagator they are in is 52cm long x 42cm wide and the light has no problems covering it at 16 inches above the tops of the pots, in the pictures the light is 12-13 inches away from the tops of the plant pots and covers the area well also. Some of the seedlings got a little leggy before I put them under light as they germinated surprisingly quickly (first time using a heated propagator as well), the first two pictures were taken 4 days before the next three. It is their only source of light, they are under a north facing bedroom window but the grey and drab British Jan/Feb sunlight is of no real use to the seedlings. I started them off with the light 16 inches above the tops of the pots as I think it may state in the Sansi information page (from memory) to do so. I had the light on for 8 hrs a day for the first 3 days at 16 inches and have now lowered the light to 12-13 inches above the pots and I am keeping the light on for10 hrs a day. (The propagator lid is on at the moment, although the light creates minimal heat itself and I guess it would not damage the leaves.) I can't see any visible problems from having the lights a little lower than it recommends, even on sensitive seedlings. (Not that I would be entirely sure what to look for, yellowing leaves and leaf curl I guess.) The seedlings seem to be thriving under the light so far, although they may be a little leggy due to me not putting them under lights quick enough or having the light low enough or on for long enough to start with. The light is giving them the kickstart I was hoping for this early in the year. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on lights as this is the first time I have tried them and I am very pleased with the Sansi 36W light so far. The bulb screwed straight into an E27 pendant light fitting I bought, the pendant light fitting said it was suitable to be used with bulbs up to 100 watts. I noticed other people mention that the backs of the bulbs can get a little warm to the touch. They don't get very warm at all in my experience, after 10 hrs on I can hold onto the back of the bulb if I need to move it. (Mine is very open though, i can't speak for others who have them in a more enclosed area.) As an enthusiastic 2nd year beginner to chilli growing this light suits me very well, it's price is great and it enables me to start off seedlings and grow on young plants much earlier than I would of realistically have been able to do so on a south facing windowsill relying on the British weather. I may be making little mistakes with how I am using the light as i am learning but the seedlings seem to be responding to the bulb and light and are growing well in my opinion. The bulb is good quality, easy to use with the E27 fitting and to me it seems very good value for money. On what I have experienced in a smallish period of time so far with this light I would recommend them for the same type of uses as me.

SANSI 36W Grow Light Review ​I've been using the SANSI 36W Grow Light for a few weeks now, and I am incredibly impressed. I bought this to help my indoor plants, which weren't getting enough natural light, and the results have been fantastic. ​The Good: ​Powerful and Effective: This light is seriously bright. My plants, especially my fiddle leaf fig and some herbs, have shown significant new growth and look much healthier since I started using it. The light distribution is excellent, covering a wide area without any hotspots. ​Solid Build Quality: The unit feels very sturdy and well-made. It has a heavy, ceramic-like heat sink which I appreciate. It doesn't get hot to the touch, which is a big plus for safety and longevity. It feels like a premium product. ​Easy to Use: It screws into a standard E26/E27 socket, so it was a breeze to set up. I just put it in a simple hanging lamp fixture, and it was ready to go. ​The Not-So-Good (but minor): ​Heavy: Because of its solid build and heat sink, it's a bit heavier than a standard bulb. You just need to make sure you use a fixture that can support the weight. ​Intense Light: The light is very powerful and has a distinct purple/pink hue. It's great for the plants, but it definitely lights up the room with a very specific color. Something to consider if you're putting it in a main living area. ​Overall: ​This grow light is a game-changer for my indoor garden. If you're serious about helping your plants thrive indoors, this is a fantastic investment. The quality, performance, and ease of use make it a clear winner. I highly recommend it.

The Sansi 36W LED is a great little grow light. I bought my first Sansi 36W LED grow light at the start of 2020, and had been using it to supplement the light for my Colocasia plants. As a newbie in terms of growing, I wasn't too sure of what to make of it. It seemed to work fine, well the plants were doing well. At the time I had 1 plant under the light. When the winter came, I realised that the plants that were not supplemented with the additional light were not doing soo well. I then decided to raise the light higher, so that it would cover a larger area and about 2 - 2.5 plants. The plants that were struggling quickly took advantage of the additional light and were doing well again. It seems that 1 single 36W LED can supply enough light for about 2-3 of my Colocasia plants. I keep the light about 1.5 feet above the canopy of my plants and they seem fine. My next experiment will be to see if this light can support some plants in a part of my living room that receives very little light from the window. At present, I'm hopeful that it will work. My advice when using this light would be to make sure that the lamp is used without a shade (I used my first light with a shade and it failed very quickly in about 3 months because of the build-up of heat in the unit. The seller promptly replaced the light, I realised my mistake and now I now use the lights as instructed, without a shade and they are fine) At 36W for about 10 hours a day, I calculated an approx cost of £25 a year at my current electricity prices, which I don't think is that bad. It allows me to keep a little bit of nature in my living room which i love.

I thought it was amazing at first so I got two, it’s supposed to last 25,000 hours. One of them is already gone after less than 5000 hours and I just missed the product support window. Will not be buying this light again.

A great bulb for growing houseplants in my dark flat. Looks a little bulky, and doesn't fit every decor theme, but puts out tonnes of neutral/warm light. Easy to install in any E27 socket, but just be mindful that as the bulb is quite heavy, it may sag some gooseneck clamps. Puts out 500 to 1000 ppfd between 6 and 12 inches away from the bulb. Very impressed.

Beklediğimden daha parlak ve iyi durumda. Güneş ışığının birebir aynı özellikte tüm odayı ve bitkileri aydınlatıyor. En kısa zamanda bir tane daha alacağım.

Ayant fait le choix d’acheter une lampe horticole, car je manquais cruellement de soleil (Finistère nord, oblige). J’ai opté pour cette marque, l’ayant vu plusieurs fois sur les réseaux sociaux. Je suis parti pour la 36w, et je peux vous dire qu’elle envoie de la patate. Mes plantes commençaient à mourir par manque de lumière. Maintenant depuis deux semaines, j’ai pu constater qu’elle ressusciter., De nouvelles feuilles sont apparues en quelques jours sans avoir changé de substrat, ni apport d’engrais, rien seulement cette lampe. Je vous conseille fortement l’achat de cette lampe horticole. Si vous aussi vous manquez d’éclairage. Ma lampe se trouve à 60 cm de mes plantes, attention, elle monte la température dans la zone d’éclairage de 1 à 2°. Je repasserai commande pour mes autres plantes, c’est une certitude.

Works really well for a small bunch of plants. For larger set, need a minimum of two for them to grow properly.

E' la prima lampada "grow" che acquisto per tenere dei bonsai-agli-inizi in casa protetti dal freddo invernale senza però far mancare loro la luce del "sole" e devo dire che funziona. Ho alcuni tipi di piante che solitamente la notte "si chiudono" e/o ritraggono le loro foglie e che con lampadine led normali continuavano a farlo, mentre con questa per loro é come se fosse "giorno". Moderatamente grande nella testa e, da manuale, meglio non tenerla con coperture che rischierebbero di trattenere il calore rovinandola prematuramente. Come si può vedere nella foto allegata ho provveduto a togliere la "campana" del braccio-snodabile che altrimenti non le avrebbe fatto dissipare il calore. Non scalda tantissimo ma comunque se non "sfiata nel retro" rischia di accumulare molto calore. Quello che scalda invece sono proprio le singole lenti dei led tanto da risultare praticamente intoccabili a mani nude. Ad occhio penso che superi tranquillamente i 70/80°C toccando le singole lenti. Il peso é notevole (non ho una bilancia di grammi ma penso sui 400g) per cui potrebbe non adattarsi bene a certi bracci snodabili o supporti troppo leggeri. Non sfarfalla né fa rumori/fruscii/sibili vari. Ottime tutte le "feritoie" ed incavi che aiutano a dissipare il calore. Aggiornamento 18 marzo 2025 dopo un anno e mezzo: ha smesso di funzionare dopo poco più di 2300 ore (12h/giorno nei mesi invernali per quasi 2 inverni completi) ma il venditore me ne ha mandata una di sostituzione in garanzia. Spero l'altra della coppia acquistata quella volta non mi abbandoni anche lei, ma credo fosse solo difettosa questa dato le poche ore di utilizzo a fronte della vita attesa (25.000h). Venditore molto corretto. Aggiornamento settembre 2025: per chi volesse sapere qualcosa di tecnico le lampade "a bulbo" vendute qui sono formate da gruppi di 7 led (versione 36W) collegati in serie ed alimentate a circa 60V che moltiplicati per 7-gruppi-led fanno circa 430Volt. Praticamente la 220V viene raddoppiata per poter evitare cablaggio/tracce in rame troppo spesso per tanti Ampere e quindi risparmiare. Purtroppo il lato negativo é che se si brucia uno solo dei 49 led totali, l'intera lampada smette di funzionare...

For starters, this lamp made my plant growth EXPLODE. Leaves get bigger and bigger each time, ALL my plants are in love with it. They barely generate any heat, which is surprising considering the amount of light this emits. It's definitely very bright, but has a subtly warm undertone. The bulbs themselves are big, but considering what you're getting in return from your plants, there's nothing bad to say about this product. I bought two and so should you.
