What owners say
Checked Oct 7, 2026Too few owner reviews to judge. In our score this is 1.75 of 2 points. How we score
“I ordered my Hooga Ultra 15 panel on a Sunday with standard shipping and it came Tuesday. It's a sturdy panel that works great!”
“The light itself is good but the stand that I purchased to hold it could use some work. It doesn't hold the lamp level and uses minimum hardware to attach it.”
