# I had my husband install these grow lights on our built in…

_Ashleyさんが2024-06-06に投稿しました_

I had my husband install these grow lights on our built in bookshelves. I love how they turned out, but now after doing light readings, I’m worried they are too close to the plants and therefore giving them too much light. This is the 2nd time I had my husband install grow lights like this (the first ones were too weak) and it was not an easy task. So before I tell him I need him to fix anything again and risk him probably wanting to kill me over these lights, I thought I would ask y’all if you think these plants are in trouble of too much light. And any solutions/tips you have. Thank you so much!

Here’s some details to help you out:  
Lights: SANSI LED Puck Grow Light, 10W (150 Watt Equiv) Full Spectrum  
Duration: currently they are set for 12 hours.  
Light readings directly under the lights:  
3” below: 60,000 LUX (approx. 5500 FC)  
5” below: 33,000 LUX (approx. 3000 FC)  
7” below: 18,000 LUX (approx. 1600 FC)

(pictures of my readings at each level are in LUX at x 100)

I’ve heard that plants within 6 inches of grow lights risk getting burnt, but another user with more experience should confirm!

It’s really going to depend on the plants you want to keep on which shelf. They’re all going to have different fc requirements.

Houseplant journal also has a very in depth article about a variety of plants

3K foot candles is equal to 30% sun / 70% shade. It sounds low, but it’s plenty of light to fry plants that aren’t properly acclimated. You’re just going to have to monitor the plants and adjust if you start seeing bleaching on the leaves.

You can add diffusers to the lights if you start seeing signs of bleaching. Shear clothe or even a piece of printer paper could work.

Following for updates on if it did harm plants?
