My Vivosun 315 W LEC light lasted 120 days, warranty good for 30...

That's a good rule. My original grow cabinet idea (a Sterilite cabinet with shelves) proved unsuitable for the purpose. It now houses nutes and assorted grow paraphernalia. I'm always finding new uses for stuff I sidelined a year or two ago.

In my last post, I was going to try the light one more time, before sending in the Vivosun 315 W LEC light...the test worked!

I try to be an honest person. I wrote Vivosun and explained the situation. Their reply is: "Thank you for contacting VIVOSUN.
You could reach out to us at any time if there is something wrong with the ballast.
Have you checked the power, i guess maybe there is some problem with the plug or power."


This was my reply: "Thanks for your reply. Yes, I checked the power cord, the outlet and the timer. After the first incident, I purchased a UPS/surge protector and thought I was good.

Unfortunately, my plants suffered for the malfunctions. I don’t trust the light at this point. It has been replaced.

Regards,"


I totally get where they're coming from but I know I haven't been the only one to have this problem. My other Vivosun products have been top-notch. I would be a little leery of their LEC/CMH lights though.
