VIVOSUN AeroLight A100SE LED Grow Light 100W - Integrated Fan Boosts

In this review the VIVOSUN AeroLight A100SE is evaluated as a compact, feature-rich LED grow light intended for hobby and small commercial growers using 2x2 or 3x3 grow tents. The single biggest reason to consider it is the integrated circulation fan that directs airflow from the light center into the canopy, solving dead-air pockets where other fans miss them; combined with the full-spectrum LEDs and app-compatible controls, it is a practical step up for growers who want uniform light and targeted ventilation in one fixture.

Key Features

• Integrated circulation fan: A centrally located fan balances airflow in the canopy so more air enters areas other fans cannot reach, reducing stagnant zones around plants.
• Full-spectrum Sunlike lighting: LEDs cover 380nm-780nm with dedicated 660nm and warm/cool white chips to deliver deep PAR penetration for improved photosynthesis and potential yield increases.
• Smart control and scheduling: Compatible with the VIVOSUN GrowHub Controller and App to automate day/night cycles and unlock additional fan and light functions when paired with the controller (sold separately).
• Uniform light and air distribution: The hollow light design and air-guiding angles distribute wind and light more evenly across the canopy, helping lower shaded areas and improving overall growth uniformity.
• Quiet, durable operation: Industrial-grade dual ball bearing fans, optimized inlets, and an aluminum alloy heatsink provide low noise and an estimated long lifespan near 70,000 hours.

Who It's For

This unit is aimed at indoor gardeners running 2x2 or 3x3 tents who want an all-in-one fixture that combines high PAR output with targeted airflow. Growers who value integrated hardware and the option to expand control via the VIVOSUN GrowHub Controller will appreciate the convenience and programmability.

It is less suited to those who need stand-alone environmental controllers in the box, as the GrowHub Controller (E42, E42A or E25) is not included, and to growers that require very large footprint lighting where multiple higher-watt fixtures are preferable.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Built-in fan improves canopy airflow without separate oscillating fans, helping reduce hot spots.
• High-quality full-spectrum LEDs deliver strong PAR and deep canopy penetration for better plant growth.
• App compatibility and controller support allow automated schedules and expanded functions when paired with GrowHub.
• Quiet operation and a robust heatsink design promise long service life and lower noise impact.

Cons

• Controller required to unlock some features is sold separately, which adds to total system cost.
• Some users report mixed controllability issues, such as occasional lights not turning on, so setup and compatibility should be checked.

Our Verdict

The VIVOSUN AeroLight A100SE is a strong choice for tent growers who want combined lighting and targeted airflow in a single 100W fixture; its full-spectrum output and built-in fan deliver measurable benefits in canopy penetration and uniformity. It represents good value if you plan to add the VIVOSUN GrowHub Controller for full programmability, though buyers should budget for that separate purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the AeroLight include the GrowHub Controller?
No. The GrowHub Controller (E42, E42A, or E25) must be purchased separately to unlock advanced fan and scheduling features.

What tent size is this light best for?
The AeroLight A100SE is intended for use with 2x2 and 3x3 grow tents where a single compact fixture can provide even coverage.

Is the built-in fan noisy?
The unit uses industrial-grade dual ball bearing fans and optimized air inlets for low noise operation, and most users report quiet performance during normal use.
