Your lights will be my next purchase for rebuilding my 4x8. You have been amazingly helpful and deserve every sale you get sir. Thank you for your unending education.
Im changing from a 4x8 to three individual 2x4 tents with the Aray 12. Will free up a lot of space in the room and reduce the cost and heat of running HPS

Your fixtures should be more popular, price is very competitive and the quality and specs are great (and you sharing your knowledge is priceless). I hope the energetic crisis won't be too harsh on your business (electricity bill is out of control in Italy), maybe the next step should be a Migro solar panel to reach energy independence for our plants.
Shane you are the best in the industry. Never lose your honesty, openness and integrity as that’s what will keep us all coming back to you. I love that you hold nothing back for information, and not trying to upsell anything. Your light’s modularity is ingenius!!! God bless. 💪👍
Thanks.
Hi Shane ,brilliant products ,an engineer's dream ,a simple idea amazingly imagined ,you really have covered every sinerio,super efficient ,with really simple but surprisingly strong build and light in weight ,which looks like amazing coverage ,don't be embarrassed for designing one of the best lights in the world ,with an unbelievable price tag
A very big bang for not many bucks ,thanks Shane
Good luck for the future
i think ur the first honest person in this industry….. love hearing your factual scientific info
I love the design, it’s lean, adaptable with great efficiencies and easier to move than the large foldable fixtures.
Thanks.
Flexibility is definitely one of the best features of my array 8. I can use only 4 modules for early veg and then set up different heights to perfectly match my canopy. No regrets whatsoever.
the sun produces around 2000ppfd.so do we need a dimmer for the sun for early veg
@@mattyburrows9059 it’s about saving power and not using more than the plant needs. We’re indoor growers here, i don’t know what the sun’s ppfd got to do with it ?
I love my Aray 8, certainly utilize the flexibility running mothers and seedlings in the same tent. Go Shane!
Thanks
Just for context I have 4 years experience using HLG QB288's, spider farmer and viper spectra products . The Aray 8 have the highest build quality I have seen to date by some way, engineering and materials would not look out of place at German car Manufacturer. Just like a good Indy game, feels like a labour of love.
Thank you for the kind words.
My next Growlight in the next six month is a migro Array.
if anyone does read this and needs a new light then definitely get one of these. had my array 2 for a few months now, early days for a good review, but very impressed so far.
Great value for a really quality product, invest your hard earned in one of these, you won't be disappointed.
, Shane, don't be embarrassed, great product. It's your honesty and openness about other lights and your own that cinched the deal for me.
Thanks Brett
What size tent do you run the array 2 in?
@@ChrisBcards it's a 2x3 propagation tent, I'm limited in height, which is another reason i went with the aray.
I absolutely love your videos! Such stellar content. Quick and to the point while explaining in understandable terms.
Thanks
Very nice light thank u for all u wisdom over the years for all the lights you've tested for us the Growers can't wait to try it out always a great show
The 4 looks great for a 2x4. Great coverage
Really appreciate the time and information you share with us. Have been watching the channel for a while now. You have the respect of many followers and I do have intentions of getting your array light setup. The greatest selling point is the versatility of it. Thank you for this white review of your products
Thanks Kelly
After ~50 hours watching grow light vids and a few more tallying the numbers: efficiency/£kWh etc - I today purchased the Aray 3 for my first indoor garden and further self-sufficiency. Cheers for all your content chap 👍
Is the light still going strong? I'm trying to decide on a new light for my 4x2 and I'm thinking the aray 4 might be it. I have a mars hydro tsl2000 right now and really like it but wanted to get a new one so I can have the tsl2000 for a backup
Being able to have two different heights and your honesty sold me on this light. Beautiful minimalistic design.
Thank you very much!
Hey Shane, thank you for everything that you do to promote indoor growing. There are so many light options available that it can be daunting for relative neophytes like myself to make an educated choice. Your selfless, generous approach to sharing information has been super helpful and much appreciated. Your designs make sense to me and the Migro products clearly reflect some of your best ideas and insight. Today I committed to getting serious about growing more of my own food and medicine, so decided to augment/upgrade from my dual Viparspectra P1000 setup (which you recommended). Of all the options available I made the easy choice to go with the Aray 4x2. The diffuse light spread and modularity were big factors for me, as was all the work you've put into this amazing channel. Thank you.
Not growing yet but will DEFINITELY purchase an Aray 3 next year for a 3x3. Configuration of the lights is very practical and makes perfect sense, and being able to locate the driver away from the lights/outside the tent is a huge plus and a requirement for me.
Thanks.
Your lights are really well thought out Shane, Kudos to you, having lights that are so versatile and offer growers more choice in their garden's - be it micro greens/vegetables or the devil's lettuce - is clever. Honest and humble horticulture at it's best. You get my vote.
Thanks
Just purchased the aray 3.. really respect your honesty and THATS why I chose this light..
The way you explained the efficiency, while using the “cheaper,” Samsung diodes, is brilliant!
Shane, I've tried the rest whilst watching your reviews. Alot of them dont exhist anymore. Now after a few years, your lights are now the only ones i will buy, mainly for your honest reviews, nice to see you bigging up your own array ❤️
Thanks Luke
Shane, surprised it took you so long to do a video showcasing your own lights - I've been watching your channel for some time and honestly didn't know how flexible and well designed your lights were. The modular design is perfect/ideal... I'm only wish I knew this before I invested in the cobbled mish-mosh of lights I am now stuck with using!
all great improvements, i have the og aray 4 (pro red i thk), i def love the flexibility of arrangements with this design, and now you're just making them even better, bravo \m/
Thanks.
Shane I am a new grower and just bought one of your 3x3 lights and shopped around ,liked you and your product keep up the good work and promote your stuff. you almost had me buy a spider farmer light but I bought A-RAY GOOD JOB
I think your idea is perfect. I grow in a curved room so configuration and expandability is key. 👏👍
Wow, awesome product, you checked all the boxes!!
It’s about time you promoted your own light, explaining why you made everything the way you did is extremely helpful and I know someone whos a new grower who could definitely could use a light just like this where you can adjust the height on just one part if you want and I never thought about how well this light would work for them until now
Thanks Randy.
Array is the next light purchase for sure. Amazing lights and the best modularity I’ve seen so far
Thanks Kyle.
best light channel in youtube. keep up the great work man!
Thanks
I love em, and hope to get some. I'm happy to see you putting out ur own products. Dont be embarrassed, be proud, and anyways who's better at this particular subject but you.
Thanks.
Always enjoy your informative videos. Thanks for this channel!!
Thanks.
Definitely gonna check one of these out
Awesome that you focus on all round efficiency
Fantastic product! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks.
Those lights look super cool. Easy to clean.
Thanks
a spectacular array of lights! Absolutely brilliant!!
I wish I was local enough to get some!
Hi Nicholas,
We ship worldwide, please send us an email.

Thanks.
I have the Aray 4 and I love it. Well made product.
Love the concept behind these 💚🌱💨
Thank you
Will DEFINITELY be my next purchase...I like the idea, format and flexibility. 😎👍
Thank you.
Have an array 2 since feb 2021. great light. no problems att all. and the plants are happy to! :)
great light Migro,thx for video,and info as always
Glad you enjoyed it
Your lights are beautiful !
First time ive seen your aray light close up. Its a awesome piece of kit with some clever engineering. For the price they are a very very high quality well put together higher end side piece of kit. Good bit of work that, well done.
Thanks.
Great video!
Looking forward to the upcoming single bar fixtures Shane, they are precisely what I've been waiting for. Would be great to see a low profile fixing option too, for those confined spaces with limited height. Keep up the good work!
Hi Stephen,
The single bars can hang up to 5cm to the roof or underside of the tent.
Thanks.
@@MIGROLIGHT Perfect, thank you sir :-)
Just absolutely astonishing
Thanks.
The perfect ARAY, keep keeping on Legend
Thanks.
Love you and your lights
Array 3 is what I'd like to get into. Hopefully soon.
Thank you for your work Shane.
Thanks,
If you have any questions just send us an email.
I bought a mars hydro fc 4800 a while back - its been a good light but a little bulky - I think im going to save up and try a migro - the flexible, modular design is an excellent idea. Well done guys.
Hi,
Thanks we appreciate that.
I love my Micro Array 4 ......power saving being in South Africa with limited power these are great with a Ups 720w i can still move forwards. Thanks for the vid, and thank goodness your here .....
Thanks
Excited about the new lights for microgreens/seedlings.
I don't need more lights but I want to reach back into my pocket to give you more of my money. 😁
Not that I don't get information from other sources but I find myself looking for a reason to buy your stuff.
Excellent light! Everything is scientifically thought out.
Thanks.
You have proved yourself intelligent & honest and I have been wanting to hear about your lights thank you and the way they can be used please don't be modest for my sake do more!! I'm going for the 8
Thanks Eric
A other great video. Love all your content
I appreciate that!
Great company.. Well done Shane
Thanks.
Excellent update .
Great video
Thanks.
@@MIGROLIGHT
With pleasure you do a fantastic job.
I personally have learned watching your videos .
I still would love a extra modular feature so the light can connect together in linear way maybe those new lights you have may be able to do that .
Wishing you all the success
I think there amazing I had the aray8 got 4 turned off atm as just popped seeds so saving a fortune its honestly the best designed light I've come across and I was searching for an led light for over a year
Hey,
Great to hear you are happy with it.
We appreciate the feedback.
The single bar lights are a great idea. not only for seedlings but also modular for all those plants that do not need or even tolerate the light levels of small surface LED growlights, like for overwintering non hardy container plants. You could do a non dimmable version, like spider farmer's sf300/600 or Kingbrite's Xp 65 bar to cut costs.
Perfect 👌
Nice , your facility looks fantastic . Would be pretty cool to visit and check out all the lights . Perhaps a video tour !
Great lights for different plants in 1 space maybe mother plants and baby ✂️cuttings and I love the remote drivers away from the heat better life span of drivers kooler space.
I would love to try migro lights, Definitely the next fixture to try on my list
Thanks.
Great lights (Aray 12 owner); I love them. As an electrician, I do not hang weight on electric cords; so I did my own thing, which took but a minute to figure out. Nonetheless, they perform perfectly!
I love the flexibility as a grower who changes things around from time to time versus having a huge light that fits a specific size/area. Additionally, the remote driver(s) are worth their weight in gold for those who struggle with maintaining temperature.
***Bonus*** When you bang your head on them, we all do it, they hurt much less than heavy lights!
Appreciated, and Steven(?) is correct; these lights need to be promoted. I wish I knew about them ~$1500 ago.
Hi,
Thanks for the kind words,
In relation to hanging from the cables, we have stress tested the cables up to a weight of 35kg with no issues.
We understand your concern but it is perfectly safe to hang these fixtures as designed.
Good luck with your grows.
Your guys are right! I came on to this channel because of your extremely knowledgeable reviews which drove me to buy other lights. You absolutely should be promoting your own products!
I actually remember a line that I really think came from you that is something like "If a light manufacturer can't show you par reports/graphs then they probably aren't worth salt" (of course the wording my be different but it was similar). Having basically ran through showing the real development of your lights I don't think I would trust another company. About 9 months ago I bought some of AC Infinity's first lights, but man do I wish I waited and started my project with these spectacularly designed light systems!
My feedback from watching this video is that I am always looking for the lowest profile lights, because I believe vertical growing is the way to go. So I ask for next iteration of lights, How low can you go? 🤞😁👍
Hi Harrison,
Thank you for the kind words.
We have fixing points on the end caps of our fixtures which were included for vertical growers, you can mount the fixtures as close as 7cm to the underside of a vertical shelf which will still allow sufficient airflow around the heat sinks.
Thanks.
Very nice design...top notch
Thank you! Cheers!
The sexiest light out there
I have used a handful of lights over the years, hps, mh, t5, the sun, and at this point i really only want to grow various plants under your lights. and its all about the canopy. the plants grow into a flat longitudinal 2 foot thick canopy with flowers popping up in every possible inch.. instead of, for example, the 5 foot round ball of a plant an hps would do. and i do it at about a 1/4 of the electricity. also having the driver away from the light is great. I started off with 1 aray 4 years ago and expanded into having 5. It is nice to be able to add more lights when things are getting big. i start thinking in terms for square footage of canopy. I had some lights running for a couple of years now with 0 problems, no broken bulbs, dont have to worry about burning the house down, really the only problem ive had with them is respecting the power of just 240 watts. It alway made the most sense to me to buy lights from the guy who reviews them. if anyone is going to know their lights it is that dude! and i stand behind that strategy today. Its no shame to remind people that your lights are the best. when in fact they are.
Sweet
Love the idea of a modular system just wish this was available earlier! Next tent setup maybe? ;)
Thanks.
Big fan Shane, been using 12months plus. & Very interested in the single bar microgreen setup you got trialing there. Ive also got these earmarked for a new 6*3. Grow area next season.
Thanks,
You can signup to the website for notifications on the release of the single bar fixtures.
Just received and assembled my Migro lights and Im very happy with them! This new design is really good.
The only thing I would suggest is to make it even more rigid. The Aray4 is so long that it feels a bit fragile when moving them around/lifting them.
Hi Christopher,
Great to hear you are happy with the lights and thank you for the feedback.
@@MIGROLIGHT if you can figure out a way to fit four bracket screws in a cross pattern X-shape, rather than the two in I-shape.
It would make thing more stable I think.
Edit: im an idiot with no idea about engineering so dont take my word for it
I’m curious as to what the bin is for the LM281B diodes? Great content
it looks like a great light. I’m definitely considering it as my next purchase
Great
Your lights are good in if I goes out, your ok till u get a replacement. as the others will fill in
And not leave your plants in the dark.
Also makes a good side light. Thank you for sharing your Videos.
Thanks
i ve the aray 8 and it s the best light that i tried
These lights are becoming much more interesting to me... Piqued indeed.
Thanks.
Good work, I like how you are using the LM281B chips.
Thanks.
Great info Shane. I remember asking about the Aray 218s and why you don’t use 301s.
When you replied the about efficiency it all fell into place. Now I’m not too concerned about seeing 218s instead of 301s advertised on fixtures.
Hi,
We are glad some of the confusion is cleared up.
Thanks.
@MIGRO
Thanks mate, i felt embarrassed after you set it straight. Prob why i didn’t reply afterwards.
Sincerest appreciation Shane. Much love from Down Under
Hi,
No question is a silly question when you don't know the answer, thanks for the support.
@MIGRO
Lol cheers Shane. I was high when i commented, excuse the 218 (edit: 281*) mistake - apologies and thanks again
Cool
I was hoping you would sell single bars. Only thing I would ask if could you have a version with the cord on the end possibly?
I need to flush mount stuff.
Always love your content. You bring great information to the public.
I really hope for your business success.
Are you still only selling in the EU?
Hi,
Thanks for that.
We ship worldwide and have warehouses in the US also.
Thanks.
And the best part for me is the EU warehouse, thank you for the great work.
Hi Shane. Beautiful and well engineered lights but I won't to know how good dey really are,because you heve a lower wattage than others. Good luck and thanks for PAR mapping the new lights!!! 🤙
Hi,
Yes we try to keep the wattage as low as possible, our lights are engineered for the given space recommended.
Thanks.
I know Shane I so the PAR maps I am with you from the start I think. I have 600w Lumatek Pro and without CO2 its to much power. I will run next grow yust at 450W - 75%and lower the light a little bit. I am watching your Lighs now from the start but I am a grower and I don't heve any credit cards so I am paying ewrything on the hend Kesh so I didn't buy enything yet but I will 😁I need new lights for one of my tents and your UV Ligh is the best I think. I think you will sad:"best bank for your buck"!!! I wish you all the best bro, hewe a great day and stay madicated 🤙
Sorry for my writing 😂
Thanks Tomaz
Nice lights. I'm still running your old Cob's...i have two of them. But maybe i'll get a ARAY 3 in the near future. Cheers...💨💨💨
Stop smoking... vaping is the future. 💨💨💨
Hi,
Nice to see the cob lights still going strong.
Thanks.
They are heaps nice. Sucks I'm on a damn budget. I've been stalking Mars hydros Australian ebay auction sales and got my last TS 1000 for $99 with free postage. Wish i could spend the $240 + 8% tax and Australian postage without my wife creating a problem since I really do like what you have done. edit, I checked Australian pricing as soon as i got to the end of the video since i need at least 2 more lights over the next few weeks
I love your lights, very powerful, however they don’t pair well with other lights, especially in a smaller setup. I’d definitely recommend them for anyone looking to grow with maximum efficiency in a larger tent or a space that is the perfect size for the lights coverage. But for your average 2x4/ 2x2, even a 4x4 id have to recommend a quantum board, like spider farmer or ideally karma horticulture, because the diodes are more centralised, instead of shining down the walls.
For me Migro stands for smart and clever. You didn't go through all that testing and then come up with something that's just a lot of hooey. Your approach is clearly the best, the most thoughtful, it's scalable, you only consume what is smart to consume (especially with electricity prices taking off stratospherically). And frankly, there are plenty of big all-in-one models on the market....
Thanks
Do you think you'll ever integrate some smart features likes dimming up and down before a lights on/off schedule?
Wish you could have put this out sooner, I have watched literally hours of your videos and always thought you only sold in UK. I will be spreading the word to my other grow friends.
Hey,
Thanks we appreciate the support.
Hey Shane,
do you plan to upgrade the uvb fixture in terms of quality?
Thank you very much and have a nice day 🌍💚
You promote the rest now you promote the best.
Hi Shane , do you know where one could get a full spectrum led strip with just a single row of LED’s (8-10mm width) that contain the 3000k, 5000k and the extended IR ?
Have you looked at the uva uvb n far red supplemental lights for the growers choice roi-e720? If so plz guide me to that video. If not i was just wondering bcuz i was thinking about getting them. Thank you in advance.
The even spread of your lights is really good( I could just see the array 8 at 75%, good price, very good design), Your really need to do full review on the small single array(50w), I think its would give you enough light to veg 4-8 plants(2ltr pots), really think your onto a winner, not sure the size of the bar but in veg, 25w, ft2 is more than enough, could start the clones off at 25%, seedlings at 50% and work up to 100% over 4-5 weeks, you should make some small veg tents to go with it. 2ft(L), 1ft(w), 3ft(h), perfect size to go on a table etc.
pot up(30ltr pots) and veg for 7/10 days, flower and your pulling 4-6 zips per plant with the right training and environment.
Hi,
We will be releasing the single bar light in about three weeks, you can signup to the website for notifications on the release date.
Thanks.
Beautiful ❤.. I want 1.....
Very very happy with my Aray 2!
When are the small seedling/micro lights you showed coming out?
Hi,
Great to hear your happy with the ARAY 2.
We will be releasing the one bar fixtures in about three weeks time, you can signup to the website for notifications on the release.
Thanks.
after a lot of research i think i will get the aray 4
