See if this works

We got these LED lights on Amazon

Anything labeled ‘grow light’ are usually the red/blue lights (which aren’t fun on the eyes when you’re working next to them) or are a lot more expensive. We had some professional fluorescents before but needed a lot more of them with these shelves.

Since plants generally need that daylight color temperature we’re hoping these are good. The main thing we’ll find out is if they’re putting off enough light but we have 3-4 per shelf so we‘ll see! Reviews of those lights have people saying they use them as grow lights and they work great.

Edit: mounted with zip ties. Super quick and easy. Just need to zip tie and clean up the wiring on the sides.

You’ll need to look for lights with a kelvin around 6500K, and you’ll need 2000 lumens per each square foot you need to light. These Kihungs are popular around here. Also search for ‘Barrina t5’ on Amazon, and you’ll find nearly identical lights, just a different brand and quantity.

Thanks.

I used these LED tubes. I've bought dozens of them over the last few years. They're the perfect K rating for painting models and they don't draw much juice.

I use these ones! I found them through the 2019 light thread linked in the stickied post.

I'll try and get a tour posted some time this weekend!

I set these up last year and they worked great:

I'm not sure what you mean by the lighting unit - but the shelf was a gift from a friend (she was getting rid of it) and I ordered these lights off of Amazon! I based it off of the recommendations on the overwinter megathread on r/succulents (found in sidebar) and my budget. Since this was my first grow light set up, I didn't want to spend a lot of $. We'll see how it goes this winter :)

I put these up in my garage and it's bright as day!

I have these ones and they are awesome! https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01HBT3BVM?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

I use Barrina 4' 6500K LED T5s and they seem to work really well. I have 4 of them on one shelf, and then 3 each on the other two shelves (they came in a six pack, so i bought 12 and currently have 10 in use). They haven't hurt my electricity bill much at all, and I've had my plants under them for about 3 months. All of them are doing really well, even the ones i had outside. I keep various succulents and cacti and have seen no etiolation on them, though I think they would have, had I not increased my lighting. (Originally, I only had two lights per shelf.)

I recommend getting a light timer for the setup as well, so that you don't have to worry about it. Mine is on for about 15 hours a day. The Barrina lights are not specifically marketed as "grow lights," but that's fine for my purposes as the grow lights usually have a purple color that gives me migraines or are much more expensive than the "shop lights." Just make sure it's at least 6500K.

These are Awesome! I have all 6 in a single bay garage and it’s crazy bright!

Here's that link to the ones I bought for the seed starting. I like them alot. You can daisy chain them together to make one switch work as many lights as you want. I do three and three. Very bright and solid. Admittedly the little clips they come with to mount them a super cheap, but double faced tape would work well to for them.

I recently did a ton of research and settled on these. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HBT3BVM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_wwNZFbP6TJ4CK?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 . You can remove the plastics around the LEDS. and then put 6 inches or so above plant 12-14 hours a day. My plants are loving it. I have four on a shelf. Maybe over board but they seem to like it

Hey there! I have some like these

I believe I bought cheaper ones on Amazon. They’re absolutely amazing, my succs are veryyy happy under these strips. But BE WARNED- they are 4ft long.

Nothing too fancy. Just 6500k and LED with enough power will do. I use these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HBT3BVM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_aMQ3Fb2K4WMFK?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HBT3BVM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I used these. They were really easy to install. And work very well. But if you actually look up they don't look fancy or anything. I was more interested in having good light than how it looked and these are perfect for that. I actually got them because I saw them mentioned on here

Something like this?

Thanks. I actually used Led tube T5 running behind the cabinet.

I have a set like these:

https://www.amazon.com/Barrina-Integrated-Fixture-Utility-Electric/dp/B01HBT3BVM

They work quite well and can link together so you only need 1 outlet.

I got these (Pack of 6) Barrina LED T5... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HBT3BVM?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Someone recommended them here

Stapled 3 out of 6 above the rack in my garage. There are just that - lights. They all do their job

I ordered these ones https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HBT3BVM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_.2D2EbGC42KHX

Try searching amazon for Barrina LED. This may work

If you are in the US, look into the Barrina lights in Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/Barrina-Integrated-Fixture-Utility-Electric/dp/B01HBT3BVM/ref=asc_df_B01HBT3BVM/?linkCode=df0&hvadid=198091685650&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8218562924604754077&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9013452&hvtargid=pla-349628863411&psc=1

They are excellent value for the money. Currently, I have both succulents and cacti under them and all are doing quite well.

If these don't work for you, just be sure to get likes at 6500k and have high enough output to provide your plants with enough light to grow.

I also have some spotlight lights but they aren’t very good.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a light for a smaller space, that isn't too crazy expensive? I would love to be able to use something like this, but I currently have a small collection and, a shelf that's only about 23 inches wide and I certainly don't need 6 bulbs. Either that or something like a desk lamp that doesn't require a shelf to hang onto could also be an option.

I bought these Barrina LED Lights and they're great. Super easy to mount and very bright.

Looks like there is a lighting deal for them right now for about another 50 minutes. I got them for $47 last July. So I would say the lighting deal is pretty good. So if you see this before then I'd get them. Plus amazon has great returns so if they're not up to your needs, just return them.

Hope that helps!

These are the lights I use and I suggest them to everyone! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HBT3BVM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_PVKhEb8DRXFZ5 It comes in a pack of 6!

These? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HBT3BVM/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_r2uxEbJ90Q6QA

Exactly! Width is perfect fit. Got these on a $40 deal and they're super bright... DW says too bright can't look at em directly. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HBT3BVM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_LMELFbGJSZ422

We have this type of LED fixture for all of our cages and they're actually great. I'd recommend getting one as close to the length of the cage for full lighting, but even the 24" ones in our 48" cages are plenty bright.

(Pack of 6) Barrina LED T5... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HBT3BVM?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share I got these today and have started to install them. Very light and very bright!

For what it's worth, I've been growing most of my cacti under these types of lights - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HBT3BVM exactly because I don't get enough light through the windows. I mean, they're probably growing slower than they would under natural light, but otherwise haven't had any problems thus far.

Yea, like those. Except the ones on Amazon are $74 for six! excluding shipping of course. Was just hoping to buy local. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HBT3BVM/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_ID9SEb6439QQ5

Input Voltage: AC85~277V. Hopefully should work.

The other suggestions are great! I would place all outlets above workbench height so that installing one won't block outlets. A sub panel would be a must IMHO. You can install outlets in the ceiling to make it easier for installing garage door openers and such, and I would install at least two switched outlets that you can plug future shoplights into, or even install something like the Barina lights from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Barrina-Integrated-Fixture-Utility-Electric/dp/B01HBT3BVM

I would wire with all 12ga wire so that you can install 20A outlets if you want.

Oh, the Barina lights are light enough you could install a couple on your garage door with a flexible cord that allows the door to open and close without interference, that will give you good light with the door open. A friend of mine did that and it was a great idea. The Barina lights are very low profile.

Good brightness and super, super easy to install. They link and can be operated with one plug-in switch or hardwired.

I potted these pearls in about 60-40 soil and perlite combo for soil. They sit maybe 6 inches under a grow light for 10-14 hours a day. I water once every 7-10 days. The grow lights are LED t5 6500k bulbs. I'll leave the link but the 6500k was the best decision I made for artificial light (I don't have much sunlight in my windows)

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01HBT3BVM/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I ordered LED light strips off of Amazon that I powered by screwing an outlet converter into an existing over head light bulb socket.

My garage is so bright now I almost need sunglasses.

44 bucks for a pack of 6: (Pack of 6) Barrina LED T5 Integrated Single Fixture, 4FT, 2200lm, 6500K (Super Bright White), 20W, Utility Shop Light, Ceiling and Under Cabinet Light, Corded electric with built-in ON/OFF switch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HBT3BVM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_swQHFbDEKX56D

I think these should work pretty well, might have to rig something for the plants on top but we’ll see.

Got it, thank you so much! What does CRI mean for the plants? The ones I linked to say that >80, should I try looking for something higher?

Nice setup btw! I’m thinking about getting racks like that!

These ones are 85 and that’s the highest I can find currently:

50L or I think 54qt for you Americanos. If you're in America, get these from Amazon. Oh, how I wish I could have ordered those to my country. I went through Alibaba and had 2 months of waiting for them to be shipped due to corona. Would not reccommend.

I have these lights! I cut the diffuser off with a utility knife so the LED’s are directly on the plants. I have 3 lights on the shelf with the bear paws and all of my echeveria. The lights are mounted on a shelf probably about 3-4 inches above the top of the bear paws. I do get stress color and flowering. They’re on 12 hours a day.

Hey, I saw this in the pinned comment, I was wondering if the brightness makes up for the lack of color spectrum? Or would you go with a more diverse color if not as bright

I ordered these lights from Amazon. Barrina

Work like a charm! They light the garage up like a surgical suite!
