Hi friends, I'm a new plant mom and am still figuring things out. I currently have some plants on this cabinet, which is between 2 windows. Am really disliking these grow lights as they fall over easily and I just don't think they are strong enough.. any other ideas for grow lights here?

Would love to see similar setups if you have one!

Here’s mine! I have mine on window sills and in the bathroom. My lights are off right now but they are clamps and i have them clipped. They have red and blue lights which promote growth and i have them on a 12hr timer. My orchid blooms are currently falling and my mini rose almost died so I had to prune her back to winterize. I hope this helps! I got them in a two pack on amazon.

They also have regular warm/ sunlight lights as well. I have them on the setting for all 3 red/blue/ and warm white light.

That might work better, I'll look into them! Thank you!

Here is an example of them on :)

I highly recommend Sansi 10 watt clip on lights. They are bright enough for any of your plants. They clip onto the pot. I have about 10. I have tried a couple others but these are by far my favorite. They have a 5 watt also but get the 10.

If you need wider coverage, this is a decent quality inexpensive light. It comes with multiple pole sections to make it floor or table. I was able to get it on sale for about $32.

Thanks for the options and recommendations!

### Tracy Lee commented on 2026-02-08

I highly recommend Sansi lights. They have a wide selection.

### Anais commented on 2026-02-08

Soltech has several options for desktops that'd work for your cabinet. I have their Aspect hanging light that works wonderfully, and might work for your cabinet area too. Only thing is they are pricey, but I think they're worth it.

### Rhus commented on 2026-02-08

To me, this is begging for two regular downward-facing sconces with Sansi bulbs in them.

#### Rhus replied on 2026-02-08

Kinda like this, but in whatever style and angle you want.

That is actually an amazing idea, will have to look into this! Thanks!

### Alex commented on 2026-02-09

I use scones from amazon or marketplace and change the bulb for a growing light bulb! way better and you can choose whatever style you want.

I did this DIY using dowel and led grow lights.
