Genuine Vander Light or cheap scam?

Hi folks
I'm just new to growing and wanted to pick up a cheap grow light to suppliment my outdoor growing for a month and then possibly grow one plant with it indoors in a small setup.
I was looking second hand and saw this light listed as a 2000w vander for €20
Looking online at the model she claims it is, it should have a switch on the back and the word Vander on the side, but it doesn't.
Is this an old model like she claims, or a cheap fake?

Thank you!

It is absolutely NOT a 2000 watt light. More like a 150 watt - marketing BS.

My initial thought, The wattage isn't legit. Maybe 200watts
For 20 bucks, I would say if it turns on, you are good.

It looks like an old blurple light. I'd recommend going cheap on everything but the light. At the very least spend the extra €60-80 for a new light with a warranty. Like a viparspectra or a Spyderfarmer.

if the price is right you can pull off a grow with cheap lights. find out the power draw and try for an identical HPS wattage for the footprint you want if you wanna use that. It could give you a grow but if you invest in a nice light or wait for a better deal there are tons of people getting rid of equipment

The sad fact is that most of these are overdriven LED's that use additional wattage for fans to cool them down to make them work. It is counter intuitive for LED and there are so many out there with fans and cooling units but the real goal is passive cooling and underdriven LED's

Vander what now?

Oh.
Well for that money I would save more and buy better then. 20 usd was the top end for that thing.

It's 20 euros, which is about 22 dollars.
I'd want to see the real wattage.
