I’m a new user and also a new grower

for sure that’s a good point. I’d recommend a brand name light that is plug and play (just look at any grow shop online and see the high end brands they carry and try to find a used one for a good price). Ie: HLG Lighting. UL rated lights. Make sure it works before you pick it up and your downside is minimal.

Unless you know lighting, I’d stay away from DIY lights.

The other thing to mention which is HUGE imo… try to minimize the use of extension cords and multi-plugs. If you are going to use them ALWAYS know how to count the amount of amps you’re running through them, and how many amps the wires/plugs are rated for.
