The 90W Lighthouse Hydro LED UFO Grow Light uses the latest growing light technology. For years, florists and plant enthusiasts have used traditional HID (high-impact density) lights to grow an indoor garden but things are starting to change with the introduction of LED lights. LED lights last much longer than HIDs. Going back to the topic at hand, the 90W Lighthouse Hydro LED UFO Grow Light is said to be manufactured using only the best in the industry – the power supplies, metals, fans, and most importantly the individual LED diodes; this, of course, is yet to be proven. Some people question the maker of this light (Gotham Hydroponics or Lighthouse Hydro). Today, we’ll take a look at whether or not this company is legitimate.

When I read the specs of 90W Lighthouse Hydro LED UFO Grow Light, my initial reaction was WOW! The LEDs are rated for a 50,000 hour life span; that is equal to five to ten years of continuous use in your indoor garden or grow room. At $215, I think that is a good value for money. I am no expert in mathematics but if my calculator is working today, you will only be paying (at most) 12 cents a day. Also, the company promises that there is no reduction in light output for the duration entire lifespan of the LED UFO grow light. What I like most about this product, however, is its American warranty. What does that mean? It means that all 90W Lighthouse Hydro LED UFO Grow Lights are manufactured in the United States and should your item break, it will be repaired from the United States too. Because it does not have to go overseas, you can expect your item to be back in no time. That will also cut the risks of inflicting more damage during shipping.

Use this Light for Vegging your Plants

Some grow lights you can use during the early stages of plant development while others can be used from day 1 of the plant’s life until it starts to produce fruits and flowers. Anyway, the 2010 six band 90W Lighthouse Hydro LED UFO Grow Light is best used during the vegetative growth of the plant. Vegetative growth is the second stage in the life of a plant – just after it completes its germination phase and it begins photosynthesis. The 2010 version is the version listed above. The 2009 version produces more red light and is better for the flowering stage of the plant.

I am a cynic to say the least and you can’t blame me. I have been fooled once or twice online. I refuse to believe what the sellers of 90W Lighthouse Hydro LED UFO Grow Light say about their products so I dug deeper.  From all the reviews I read online this light works great in the vegetative stage but leaves a little to be desired in the flowering stages. Some people recommended using this 90 watt UFO for the first phases of plant life, but then switching to the 2009 red light for the flowering stage.

There are opposing views about 90W Lighthouse Hydro LED UFO Grow Light. Many say they are impressed with the quality of the lights while others are extremely disappointed. Those who are happy said the light emitted by 90W Lighthouse Hydro LED UFO Grow Light is closest to the sunlight thus they get great results especially in the vegetative stage. Some of them even enthusiastically said that their plants have never looked better and they would recommend the product to their friends any time. Another person who actually contacted the company’s customer service hotline said that he is very pleased with them. I don’t know about you guys but customer service, for me, is a deal-breaker. No matter how excellent a product is, if their after-sales services are not good, there is no way I am every buying from the company again. On the other hand, the people who are complaining about 90W Lighthouse Hydro LED UFO Grow Light said their plants didn’t grow well under this light.

Is Gotham Hydro a Real Company?

People who are considering purchasing this light often wonder if Gotham Hydro is a legitimate company? Their concerns basically stem from two places: (1). Naming confusion: It is really hard to tell who makes these lights. Is it Lighthouse Hydro or is it Gotham Hydro? Or are they the same thing? Your guess is as good as mine. (2). The website for Lighthouse Hydro is borderline ridiculous. The site is extremely unprofessional and I would not recommend purchasing anything from this site until they upgrade.

Those with concerns about Gotham Hydro can rest assured that it is a legitimate company. They list their address on their website and they have a phone number that you can contact them with. Many people have contacted them and had no problems. In fact, most are impressed with their customer service. It appears they are making strides to make their web-presence more professional as the Gotham Hydro website is actually a decent one.

Price Comparison against other UFOs

In conclusion, I think growers should give this light a try. It is quite inexpensive compared to other 90 W UFOs. I get more good reviews about the 90W Lighthouse Hydro LED UFO Grow Light than negative ones (and in the LED world that’s saying something). If the Gotham/Hydro team can clean up their marketing, they might become one of the more formidable LED grow light companies out there because there lights are well liked.
