Bestva vs Viparspectra: LED Grow Light Comparison 2020

Setting up your indoor garden can be daunting from a cost perspective. While I recommend buying the best quality grow light you can afford, for many people, the price of American made grow light brands are just too high. The two most common Chinese-made LED companies I’m asked about are Bestva and Viparspectra. Both companies make grow lights that made my top ten list. But which company offers the best product for you? I decided to take a look at Bestva vs Viparspectra for the sake of comparison and provide a breakdown of what each company has to offer regarding the best cheap grow lights.

BESTVA 2000W LED Grow Light

This double chip LED grow light by Bestva spreads a perfectly balanced and intense full spectrum light over your plant canopy. As you’ll see in the image above, you’re getting intense blue and intense red light exposure. It’s important you’re getting a good amount of both, not only one or the other.

You’ll get roughly 1000 umol of light 18 inches under the light. That’s exactly what you need to grow a high yielding cannabis plant (925 umol to be precise).

But if you desire a stronger light with a little bit better coverage, Bestva makes another version of the 2000 watt light called the Reflector series.

What’s the difference? The light is priced higher, but the reflector lenses on the LED board result in ~80% higher light intensity. That’ll result in a larger coverage area of usable light. Whether you go with the reflector series or the lesser double chip series is up to you and your budget!

Conclusion

There is no better way of boosting your indoor cannabis growing than using a good quality full spectrum LED grow light.

Unlike traditional fixtures, full-spectrum lights ensure your plants receive all the useful wavelengths from UV to far-red.

Modern designs come with two modes of operation: vegetative and bloom. A true innovation in indoor lighting for optimum growth and higher yields.

The best of these lights have both the full spectrum and higher nanometer ranges of color for all growth stages.
