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! ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/OORd9o3AlyyZoAzQiIeMpiDsoq70pwIvi_-UQhGES4o/yvsZV7oMSayx_CEQLjQXvA.webp?size=large) ## 14 comments ### Gemma commented on 2026-02-08 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. ![Attachment 1 of 2](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/uBzJnMP_K1q2P_dvcQyr--RtBhW79Ubh06m7Azzu9Z0/-G5uxBI3RUSZR0JDmR5rdA.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 2 of 2](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/uBzJnMP_K1q2P_dvcQyr--RtBhW79Ubh06m7Azzu9Z0/HKCUA88mQsyq7yNiMufaMA.webp?size=large) #### Gemma replied on 2026-02-08 They also have regular warm/ sunlight lights as well. I have them on the setting for all 3 red/blue/ and warm white light. #### Kaylyn 🌱 replied on 2026-02-08 That might work better, I'll look into them! Thank you! #### Gemma replied on 2026-02-08 Here is an example of them on :) ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/uBzJnMP_K1q2P_dvcQyr--RtBhW79Ubh06m7Azzu9Z0/Y3LjFn4jTpeVfBK0tMw3fg.webp?size=large) ### Phil commented on 2026-02-08 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. ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/OWAkyZxcZtwxk-v_HG7sG7i-GaZeWOFpvbl_VkIbhkY/JYzebO35Sb2rNS3x8hdOvw.webp?size=large) ### Phil commented on 2026-02-08 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. ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/OWAkyZxcZtwxk-v_HG7sG7i-GaZeWOFpvbl_VkIbhkY/vZ2sItTwRsy_UdMPb5pBLA.webp?size=large) #### Kaylyn 🌱 replied on 2026-02-08 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. ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/537cdX4GHvqKnbj4AghvAOgit0rxe0FJJj23EkJP2fc/xqzympqUTPW2EFkX_V9roA.webp?size=large) #### Kaylyn 🌱 replied on 2026-02-08 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. ### Kez commented on 2026-04-06 I did this DIY using dowel and led grow lights. ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/4AVQEkTCMc-k6-7E5aNXWGPqgzgSloOL_MfN8rwVjs0/3Kctwbs7SWGNU2Nv7WbVGw.webp?size=large) --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com).
