- BESTVA DC1000 LED Grow Light, Full Spectrum Grow Lights for Indoor Plants with Veg & Bloom Switches, Quiet Cooling Fan, for Seedling Veg Bloom All Growth Stages

A friend of mine has been using these LED plant growing lights to supplement natural light in his green house, and I decided to get one so I could expand my indoor seed starting setup. I was impressed with the quality of the packaging, everything arrived in perfect condition. I was also very happy to learn that this LED grow light comes with a selection of hardware to make hanging it quick and easy. Many other lights do not include hanging hardware, so this is definitely a benefit of this particular light. Overall the light works extremely well, and is VERY bright. I used an analog lux meter to compare the output of this to some other LEDs that I already owned and the BESTVA light has significantly more LUX, even when measured further away from the light source. The power draw is totally reasonable for how much visible light this generates, and so far my tomato starts seem to be thriving under it. The build quality feels very solid, and overall the quality of the materials inspired confidence. I am also pleased with the length of the power cord, and the fact that it is removeable, in case you want to substitute in a longer cord to reach outlets which are further away from where you choose to hang it. Price-wise I feel that this is a good value, and I only wish that maybe I had purchased the next size larger for my particular situation.

My plants were slowly fading on one side away from the window. They have grown too big for me to rotate so this light was the perfect solution. I leave it on VEG it’s pretty bright and equivalent to the indoor sun receiving on one side.

I purchased two of these lights in the spring of 2025 and have used them multiple times over the past year to start seeds, including this past month. The lights are good quality and have survived multiple uses. They’re designed to be hung over the top of your plants and so you will either need shelving above your seedlings or some type of rig for them to hang from. That being said they are extremely effective and last year I started all of my gardening plants for my large garden using just these two lights. I’ll be buying more this year to grow even more.

The 1000W is great light to start seedlings, paired with the Vivosun heat mat. Most of the LEDs are full spectrum (white) with a strip of blue and a strip of redish for veg/bloom respectively. I would just leave both on. The light isnt 1000W equivalant. From the amount of stretch and distance I would say its closer to 300W but it works well for seedlings. Uses little electricity and generates almost no heat. You can see my tomatoes, broccoli and eggplant seedlings in the pick. The 2000W is even better and I'd say equivalent to about 800W Halogen. It doesnt generate excess heat and can be mounted fair low. The best part is you can see that the plants under the pinkish light do not stretch at all. Very tight node structures. You can see in the close up of peppers and tomatoes. It has more blue/red strips and doesnt glow white like the smaller 1000W version. Not sure the impact. Great for starting and growing plants to full cycle. I'm gonna try to grow fully indoor winter tomatoes with these lights before I mount them in an outdoor greenhouse. Keep in mind low heat generation means you might need a heat mat like me.

Excellent light great pick up.

I use mine in a 48x24x60 grow tent. With several plants in there and I mean like 3 it works great. of course this depends on what you are growing and how bushy per say. While I could easily do 4-5 pepper plants I would have to drop to 2 or three bigger tomato plants or anything similar in size and leaf density. Takes a bit getting used to the purple colored world and of course get the UV glasses for this as the UV is not good for the eyes and it sort of corrects the color...somewhat. I would say this size light is pushing the limit for this size grow tent being that it does the job fine but any bigger and you need a bigger light or combine 2. The light spread is good and as long as I kept plants 18" away or so I never had any tip burn even when they would get 12" for a short time I never had tip whitening....but again I kept it around 18" or so for growing plants. Note not for seedling or clones though...too bright for seedling and I do not do clones but I would day 24" or a bit more until established. This is good for veg to flower and I never had an LED burn out...never showed any signs of light spectrum deficiency and compared to running hot high watt sodium or halide..I rather use these. Cooling fans kept the housing cool and were not excessively noisy and while they do put out some heat it is easily vented out without needing a fan...just open the top vent a bit along with a bottom vent if the heat climbs. Sure you can spend more money and better name brand lights but I am NOT dropping $600-$900 on lights when these do fine for a hobby grow. You do not have to drop stupid cash for a decent grow light...as long as the spectrum and output is within spec and they lights hold up and do not fail they will work fine. Let the pseudo experts argue over better lights...I have grows to show these work just fine. NOTE: going by my smart meter on my electricity account they lights use about 200-240 watts based upon my smart meter. My electricity use is very constant so when I start a new grow I can see the increase on a daily KW usage and that is watt (pun hahah) the increase in my bill breaks down to..around 200 watts increase per hour per day

My vegetable starts have been loving this light.....worked so well, I bought another one this year!

I’ve owned this BESTVA grow light for nearly 2 months now and I’m extremely satisfied with it so far. I actually purchased 2 of these lights at the same time, but so far I’ve only been using one, so I can only speak for the performance of this unit specifically. My plants have stayed strong, healthy, vibrant green, and compact throughout the vegetative stage. The light output is impressive for the price, and the build quality feels solid. One thing I personally found works really well is running both the VEG and BLOOM settings together during an 18/6 light cycle, even in the actual plants’ vegetative state. In my experience, the plants responded much better compared to using VEG mode alone — faster growth, fuller leaves, and overall healthier structure. TRUST ME — IF YOU CAN MAKE IT TO WEEK 4 or 5, GROWTH WILL ACCELERATE AND BECOME EXPLOSIVE AFTER THAT POINT! Heat output has been manageable, coverage has been great for my setup, and overall this has been an excellent purchase. Looking forward to seeing the final yield results, but so far I’m very impressed and would definitely recommend this light. I’ll also be posting grow updates and results on my YouTube channel, so feel free to DM me with any questions! I plan on documenting my grow progress and equipment testing on social media, and based on my experience so far, I’d definitely be open to future collaboration opportunities with BESTVA.

Es una luz bastante completa y muy potente, apenas la probaré en el cultivo pienso que después tendré que hacer otra reseña ya con los resultados en flores. El nuevo diseño es muy minimalista me encantó!!! Da muchísima luz para el tamaño y peso, el ventilador es muy sigiloso no se percibe mucho. Es una bestva de 1000w

So far, tremendous results. Using 4 for a 10' x 7' room, should maybe run 6 of them for that area, but things are looking up! Easy on the power consumption, the girls seem to love it. Packaging was first rate, shipping to Canada was very fast. I highly recommend this seller as well as the product. One year later: I did away with my home-built 7x10 enclosure and set these up in an 8x8 tent. Now 4 of them will not cover the whole footprint, but I want space for filter, fans etc. I would suggest 6 of these for a space that size instead. Results have been very good indeed, with lush foliage and tight internodal spacing. I harvested some very large flowers, but of course proper nutrition and ventilation are the other pieces of the puzzle. Have tried a side-by-side comparison with more expensive lights, 10w LED as well as 1000W COB (200W chips), and if anything, these are superior. I will be purchasing more for separate veg tent ((keep at least 3 feet over cuttings or may burn). Hydro bill barely registers a difference running all of them, so, easy on the wallet (not sure of actual consumption per light). I have no regrets about this purchase and will be back. Customer service is first-rate as well. AAA+++

This is my second one. Very pleased. I’ve bloomed high light orchids (vandas and cattleya) and have had to move my cactus further away because the light was so intense 2+’ away that they were getting pink pigment. To say I am pleased is an understatement. I also have a 3’ wide and tall medicinal plant that is so dense and happy growing under it that I’m just about to order a third for side light in flowering as the plant is so dense there is no way light from above will penetrate very far. What a great light! Stays cool with fan. No issues.

So, I purchased 2 of these lights (based off of Bestva’s Specs) originally for my 4x8’ grow space. My grow was going really slow so I started to look into what was the weakest link, it was the fact that the light needed to be hung at around 8” or so which dramatically decreased the coverage area. Then I purchased a 3rd light to realize I needed at least a 4th. I complained to Bestva about how their hanging height suggestion may cover a 4 X 8 space, but at the hanging height required to cover that size of space it was way to far from the canopy unless you want to Veg for a year! Long story short they sent me a free light to make up for my lack of coverage area & now we are seeing some much better growth. I would suggest 1 light per plant to anyone. The quality is great for the money, the specs are just off so go with my suggestions on hanging height etc... also go with full spectrum on the lights ( both switches on) from day 1. Blue (veg)is good but not sufficient when compared to having both switches on. To confirm, bloom & veg switches on from seedling to harvest. Cheers. Also thanks Bestva for acknowledging my concerns & making me a happy customer. Happy growing!

These lights are perfect for growing plants indoors. I have 2 and I can grow a nice vegetable garden in my tent all year round.
