The Complete Sansi Grow Bulb Lineup

In Part 1 (Why Sansi Grow Lights Stand Out), we broke down what makes Sansi different from the flood of cheap Amazon and Temu grow lights. Their patented COC ceramic technology, full-spectrum daylight output, and precision optics set them apart from the flood of cheap grow light competition.

Now it’s time to look at the bulbs themselves. Sansi offers sixteen grow bulbs, fourteen models for the US and Canadian markets. I'm including seven of them in this first draft of this article, because they are the ones I've used and am most experienced with. Each one has its own strengths, from compact desk-sized PAR20s to powerhouse BR30s with smart controls.

This Unlikely Gardener guide walks through every bulb in this reduced lineup, highlighting specs, use cases, and best picks so you can choose the right model for your indoor plant needs.

BR30 40W LED Grow Bulb with Remote:

At a Glance: Maximum Power and Control

Power: 40W
PPFD: 345 µmol/m²/s @12”
Efficiency: 1.425 PPF/W
Remote control with timers + dimming (US only)

The BR30 40W is the crown jewel of the Sansi lineup. With enough intensity to satisfy fruiting plants like citrus, tomatoes, or peppers. This needs a bit of a disclaimer. While it will grow high light plants like tomatoes and peppers, I'd suggest that you pick dwarf varieties. This bulb brings serious growing power in a bulb based format. The included remote lets you set timers and dimming levels without touching the fixture, a lifesaver for hard-to-reach spots.

The BR30 36W is all about efficiency. It delivers the most photons per watt of any current Sansi bulb (September 2025), making it incredibly cost-effective for long-term use. Despite slightly lower PPFD than the 40W, it actually outputs the most total photons (65.6 µmol/s).

The BR30 24W is the all-around full spectrum choice. It’s strong enough for herbs, leafy greens, and decorative houseplants, but not so intense that it risks light stress. For many plant parents, this bulb will cover 80% of needs. The intensity at 12" is good, dropping it down to 8"-10" may be slightly better, alternatively increase your photoperiod to 16 hours instead of the typical 12 hours many of us use. Plus its currently the only Sansi waterproof (IP54) grow bulb.
