Shelf Lighting

Plant Shelf Grow Light Guide for Indoor Production

Plant shelves and multi-layer racks require compact lighting that fits tight spaces while still delivering enough usable plant light.

Quick Answer

Plan shelf height before choosing the fixture.

If shelves are close together, the grow light must be thin, efficient and low heat. If shelves are taller, growers may use higher-output fixtures with wider distribution.

Good shelf lighting makes every layer productive, not just the top layer.
