Although I bought it mainly to keep my plants to light in winter, I hoped also see the growth side. It is a little over a month that I have, and not much growth observed on my plants, not even on the one placed in the middle of the beam. However, it slows the leaves fall and allows for late risers like me to make up the lost light! I recommend for those points. The cable, however, is a bit short, especially for ceiling suspension. We must bring an extension cord.
