Chiphy Review: Twisted Floor Lamps and Plant Grow Lights, and the Shipping Fine Print
Chiphy is a home lighting brand that sells through its own store, Chiphylighting, with a catalogue built around three things: tall "twisted" fabric-shade floor lamps, full-spectrum LED grow lights for houseplants, and a handful of minimalist and smart RGB table lamps. The About page says CHIPHY is registered as a trademark in the United States and lists an address in Kwun Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong; the shipping policy says it has warehouses in the US, UK, EU and Canada. Most lamps cost between about $70 and $150, and the store also sells replacement shades, tubes, remotes and bulbs.
This review covers what Chiphy sells, the specs worth comparing, prices, the conflicting shipping information, the return fees and what the "5-year warranty" claim rests on.
At a glance Checked October 2026
Chiphy suits shoppers who want a warm, decorative floor lamp or a tall grow light for indoor plants at mid-range prices, with spare parts sold separately. The main catch is the fine print: the homepage promises free shipping over $69 while the shipping policy says shipping is never free, and refunds lose a payment processing fee.
- Best for: Living rooms and bedrooms that need soft ambient light, and plant owners who want a floor-standing grow light with a timer.
- Typical price: Floor lamps $69.99–$99.99 by height; grow lights $99.99–$149.99; table and desk lamps $99.99–$139.99 (USD).
- Shipping: Homepage says free over $69; the policy says fees start at $19.99. US delivery usually 5–7 working days; Canada, UK and EU 10–14.
- Returns: 30 days with prior approval; you pay return shipping on non-defective items, and refunds have a 2.6% + $0.30 fee in the US (3.6% + $0.30 elsewhere).
- Watch out for: The 5-year warranty appears only as a footer badge and product-page line, while the terms of service say products are provided "as is"; no UL or ETL listing is mentioned.
What Chiphy sells
The store had 34 listings when we checked, but only about a dozen are complete lamps; the rest are spare parts, remotes, instruction downloads and a "customer requirement" payment link. The main groups are:
- Ambient Soft Lamp (twisted floor lamps). Column floor lamps with a twisted-waist fabric shade in white, brown, purple, red gradient or marble patterns, in heights from 39 to 64 inches.
- Plant lights. Floor-standing full-spectrum grow lights with round LED heads (40W and 60W), an ultra-thin model with an optional plant tray, and a 40W tabletop version.
- Minimalist lamps. A 20W metal table lamp with a round LED panel and a rechargeable clip-on desk lamp.
- Smart RGB+IC lamps. Color-changing table lamps with app and voice control, including a version with a custom printed shade.
- Bulbs and accessories. Two-packs of dimmable and multicolor A19 LED bulbs, replacement lampshades, grow-light tubes, power adapters, foot switches and remotes.
Specs to compare: brightness, color temperature and controls
Product descriptions list the following; these are the store's own figures, not independent measurements:
- Twisted floor lamps. Two built-in 12W LED bulbs, up to 2,400 lumens at 2700K (warm white), with a foot switch for 10%, 50% and 100% brightness. The shade is described as DuPont Tyvek, and the listing says the lamp also works with smart A19 bulbs such as Philips Hue. Bulb life is quoted at up to 50,000 hours.
- 60W grow lights. 144 LEDs, 10 brightness levels and either a fixed 4000K or an adjustable 2300K–6500K version with a 4/8/12-hour timer and remote. Heights adjust in steps up to 76 or 85 inches, and one listing quotes 6,600 lumens.
- 40W grow lights. The tabletop model is listed at 3,350 lumens with 16 to 31 inches of height adjustment; the ultra-thin floor model reaches 69 inches. Note that the single-color 4000K versions do not include the timer or remote.
- Minimalist table lamp. 20W and 1,500 lumens from a 7.3-inch panel, seven dimming steps, 2300K–6500K on the dual-color version, a timer and a claimed color rendering index (Ra) above 95.
- Clip-on desk lamp. 300 lumens, four color temperatures, a 6,000mAh battery quoted at up to 72 hours, and a clamp for surfaces up to 1.2 inches thick.
- Smart RGB lamps. Alexa and Google Assistant compatibility, 16 million colors, 44 scenes and a USB charging port, on a wood base with an acrylic shade.
We did not see UL, ETL or other safety certification marks mentioned in the product descriptions or on the About page. If that matters to you, for example for a lamp that stays on for hours by a sofa or a grow light on a timer, ask the store before ordering.

Shipping: two different answers
The homepage announcement bar says "Free shipping on orders over $69", but the shipping policy states that Chiphylighting "does not offer free shipping globally" and that, outside promotions, "the default shipping fee starts at $19.99", depending on weight, size and destination. Check the shipping line at checkout before you pay.
According to the policy, weekday orders ship within 24 hours and weekend orders within 48 hours. Delivery usually takes 5–7 working days in the US, 10–14 in Canada, the UK and the EU, and 7–21 elsewhere; express is about 2–3 working days after dispatch. Orders ship from warehouses in the US, UK, EU and Canada, with other regions served from the factory in China. Customs duties are covered for the US, Canada, UK and EU. The store does not ship to PO boxes or APO, FPO and DPO addresses.
Returns and warranty
The refund policy gives a 30-day return window, and you must email sales@chiphylighting.com for approval and an RMA number before sending anything back. For returns that are not about quality, items must be in original condition and you pay return shipping. The policy says there are no restocking charges, but it deducts a payment processing fee from refunds: 2.6% plus $0.30 in the US and 3.6% plus $0.30 elsewhere. After 30 days the store offers exchanges instead of refunds. Damaged or defective items get a replacement or refund with a prepaid return label. The US return address is a warehouse in Philadelphia.
The warranty picture is less clear. The footer shows a "5-year warranty" badge and product pages mention a "5 years After-sales guarantee", but there is no warranty page or claim process, and the terms of service say products are provided "as is" without warranties except where expressly stated. Save your order confirmation and ask support to confirm the warranty terms in writing.
Who should buy from Chiphy
- Renters and small-space decorators who want a tall, soft-glow floor lamp under $100 with no wiring work.
- Houseplant owners with dark rooms who want a floor-standing grow light with a timer that looks like a lamp rather than a shop light.
- Buyers who value spare parts, since replacement shades, tubes and remotes are sold individually.
Think twice if you need documented safety certification, a clearly written warranty, or free returns, and confirm the shipping cost at checkout given the conflicting statements.
Chiphy coupon codes and deals
We did not find a verified public coupon code at the time of writing, and we do not publish codes we cannot confirm. The savings you can see on the site are its own sale prices, such as grow lights listed well below their "compare at" prices and a "Save up to 35%" banner on plant lights, plus the free-shipping-over-$69 offer on the homepage. The store also runs an affiliate program. Any working offers we find are listed on our Chiphy coupons page.
Frequently asked questions
Is Chiphy legit?
Chiphylighting publishes a Hong Kong business address in Kwun Tong, Kowloon, a US phone number, a WhatsApp line and the email sales@chiphylighting.com, and says CHIPHY is a registered US trademark. It has written shipping and refund policies, a US return warehouse in Philadelphia, and its terms are governed by Hong Kong law. One grow light page shows 4.39 out of 5 from 18 reviews. The main things to check are the shipping cost at checkout, the refund processing fee and how the 5-year warranty is actually handled.
Does Chiphy offer free shipping?
The homepage says free shipping on orders over $69, but the shipping policy says shipping is not free globally and starts at $19.99 outside promotions. The checkout total is the figure to trust.
Where does Chiphy ship from?
From warehouses in the US, UK, EU and Canada, according to its shipping policy; other regions ship from its factory in China.
Can I return a Chiphy lamp?
Yes, within 30 days after getting approval by email. You pay return shipping unless the item is damaged or defective, and the refund has a processing fee of 2.6% plus $0.30 in the US.
Do Chiphy grow lights have a timer?
The multi-color-temperature versions include a 4/8/12-hour timer and a remote. The single 4000K versions of some models do not, so check the variant name before you order.
The bottom line
Chiphy offers good-looking twisted floor lamps under $100 and tall grow lights with timers at fair prices, with useful spare parts and warehouses in four regions. Go in knowing the store contradicts itself on free shipping, keeps a fee from refunds, and backs its 5-year warranty claim with very little written detail.
