The hidden gems for your growroom......



These products are mass-produced. You can’t order them and customise the specification. They’re not fancy, and if you buy some of them, you’re unlikely to be tempted to brag about the fact to your friends. You won’t fall in love with them. You might not even notice them much, because they won’t make demands on your time, they won’t force you to learn how to use them, and they won’t let you down and disappoint you. They will do the job that they were intended to do, and do it well, without fuss.


The LUMii BLACK range derives from a similar philosophy to the Ford Model T. These products are mass-produced. You can’t order them and customise the specification. They’re not fancy, and if you buy some of them, you’re unlikely to be tempted to brag about the fact to your friends. You won’t fall in love with them. You might not even notice them much, because they won’t make demands on your time, they won’t force you to learn how to use them, and they won’t let you down and disappoint you. They will do the job that they were intended to do, and do it well, without fuss.

That is why LUMii BLACK is popular, and why users of these products return to buy more of the same, time after time.
The products are not exciting, but they are reliable, well-tried, and trusted by thousands of contented customers. They won’t break the bank, but their affordability results from good manufacturing, not from cutting corners on quality.

There are no whistles and bells, no features that you might like but don’t really need. None of the components sport designer logos, but everything that goes into LUMii BLACK products has been carefully selected; each little part is of an appropriate quality to perform well for at least the expected lifetime of the product.

That’s what LUMii BLACK is all about. It’s a brand that will give you all that you need for a competitive price. Its products are uncomplicated, reliable, and will serve you well, possibly for longer than you expect. LUMii BLACK products may not thrill you, but they’ll certainly leave you feeling satisfied.
