Need solid advice on lights for indoor plants
    #27008610 - 10/28/20 02:54 PM (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hey guys,

I'm looking for a lighting fixture for my indoor plants. I have small house plants, and I'm assuming the best option is going to be a LED light matrix which covers the full visible light spectrum along with infrared and ultra violet light. I have a metal shelving unit with four shelves with (length, width) = (36in, 16in). Ideally, I'm going to hang the light from the top shelf, and I'll have plenty of vertical room to adjust with the plants on a lower shelf.

My budget is $500 - $1000 for this and I'm primarily focused on these qualities (in no particular order):
1. Brand reputation
2. Build quality
3. Quality of light
4. Different modes (vegetative/bloom)


Thanks guys

We actually use the Electric Sky lights. There's an ES180 and an ES300. You could easily get either for well under your budget. We have an affiliate link on our site.  We did a time lapse trichocereus hybrid cactus video project comparing them to a full t5 setup. They were significantly cheaper to run than fluorescents. We ended up buying a couple more after that. I've used some other cheaper LEDs, but they're not all created equally. They offer a 90-day money back guarantee and 3 year warranty. There's plenty of youtube videos on them.

Your banners have appeared, here, for years, I have admired your listings, but I still don't understand how your store works.

Your cart is disabled, but we can ask one of your human employees for your plants?

I got house plants... I just stuck them in a south facing window and use a red/blue light to supplement the morning and evening sun. As long as they're not illegal plants, my recommendation would be right in a window with real sunlight.

If it's just house plants, don't waste all that money, and electricity on expensive grow lights. Just buy those cheap four foot LED shop lights from Walmart. They are less than $20 bucks a piece, and plants love them! I do believe that they are full spectrum too :thumbup:
