Updated November 2, 2026
Spider Farmer makes three main lines of tent lights: SF boards (fanless, the original series), SE bar lights with app control, and G bar lights positioned as the value line. All come with a 5-year warranty and US service, according to the listings.
This guide compares nine Spider Farmer lights that met our rating threshold, sorted by line. For other brands see Mars Hydro, VIVOSUN, and AC Infinity.
Safety note: grow tent lights draw from about 65 to 850 watts. Hang them from hangers rated for the fixture’s weight, plug them into a grounded outlet (GFCI-protected in a humid tent), keep drivers and cords off wet floors, and follow the maker’s hanging height. Many of these lights include far-red or infrared (730nm) diodes and a few include UV (395 to 405nm); do not look into them at close range. We describe what each maker lists; we do not promise growth or harvest results.

Which Spider Farmer Line Should You Buy?
SF Boards
Fanless, simple, and the most rated. Best for 2×2, 2×4, and 4×4 tents when you do not need an app.
SE Bars
Premium bar lights with the Spider Farmer app. Best when you want schedules and remote control.
G Bars
Value bar lights with a brightness display; the G8600 adds app control for 5×5 tents.
SF300 and SF600
Slim, low-wattage fixtures. They draw far less than their tent sizes suggest; use them for seedlings or small spaces.
How We Evaluate Spider Farmer Grow Lights
We did not grow plants under these lights. We compared manufacturer specifications and Amazon listing details, and ranked products by the WikiHomeLED Score, which adjusts the Amazon star rating for the number of ratings (ratings checked November 2, 2026). To qualify, a product had to be a Spider Farmer grow light (supplemental UV, IR, and red bars excluded), with at least 20 ratings and a rating of 4.1 stars or higher. PPF, PPFD, efficacy (µmol/J), and coverage figures are as published by each seller and are not our measurements. Sellers often list a larger vegetative coverage and a smaller flowering coverage; we quote both where given. Several listings make yield claims; we do not repeat them. Mars Hydro TS, Spider Farmer SF, VIVOSUN LumaLight, VIPARSPECTRA P, and AC Infinity IONBOARD ratings are pooled across every size on one Amazon listing family, so the same rating can appear for different sizes. The full method is on our How We Review page. This is a single-brand guide, so the brand cap does not apply.
