Can you Hang Grow Lights From The Bottom Of the Shelf? I want to use this rack for starting seedlings. Is there a good way to hang a chain hook?

There is no connection on the bottom of the shelf. There is a lip on the top side of the shelf if you wanted it to hang off on the edge, depending on what kind of hook you had that would be pretty secure. Honestly, if I were going to hang lights, I'd run a piece of light weight jack chain diagonally between the 2 corner posts. The eyes in the beams would be easy to connect too. Then hang whatever you wanted off the chain.

The plant comes with hooks and wiring to Hang however, if you're trying to lower and raise the light you'll need to buy additional hooks/ratchets. Other then that product works great beware of the obnoxiously pink light!

You could extend it with chains easily. One end of the chain would hook to the loop coming out of the ceiling, and the other end of the chain would hook through the hole on the top of the pot rack. I could recommend getting black chain at a hardware store; silver chain would be too shiny.

You could attach lights -but I think the structure is not sturdy enough to hold lights and plants. Order a metal shelf from home depot for same price.

This light has 3 mounting rings on the unit. I use 2 loops of large zip ties ran across the roof of the grow tent with a single link of chain per mounting ring to hold it. My light is about 2" from the roof and 3' from the floor. Best sized space for one of these is 3'x3'x4'. I use 3'x3'x3.2' and keep my plants short and bushy.

I'm very happy with my fixture. The quality is fine and I have had no issues. How can you mount anything if the power source is coming from the TOP?Wouldn't the source need to come from the BOTTOM of the beam?

Did you try this? I am going to try it on my wire shelving where my pots are hanging. I'm going to use flat "s" hooks that fit snug on the rim of one shelf and then wire it to the rim of a lower shelf. Of course, unlike a baker's rack, I can adjust the shelves on my wire shelving. Anyone else have any ideas?

The best answer would have to come from the manufacturer but I think that a grow light would be no problem if you didn't lean it right up against the wall/cover. I hung a work light (probably at least 60 watts) on one of the metal shelves in mine last winter to try & add a little heat & I had no problem.

Darlene, let me revise my response (above). There is an area for a hook at the top. Now I remember I used the hook on the 33 inch $ 1.50 chain I bought to hang it (the chain can be modified to be shorter). I used the same chain to hang the feeder, so they are at the same height.. Then I suspended them from the eave of the house using a cup hook. Hope this makes sense and is helpful.

I hang from a cable. The bottom is flat, not prepped for a pole-top mount. You could mount pole-top, but it would be difficult to fill. Hanging off an arm on a pole would work, but it's heavy filled with seed. Not a good choice for pole mounting I'd think.

It can be either. You can hang it from a hook in the ceiling, or you can buy a plant hanger and hang it from that. I used a plant hanger in my tiny art studio, and it works just fine.

yes you can, and yes... youll need something to attach this fixture. depending on where youll hang it you can use from cable ties to even masking tape... the best for you would be to buy C-clamps and screw them up to the fixture's bracket. with these youll be able to move the fixture sideways and up and down as you please... if you tie the light's bracket down directly on the tree youll only get 1 of the axis to work for you... get the clamps...

No, there is no support to do that. The two halves of the shelf support each other. For this reason the shelves sag in the middle and dont support much weight. Great grren house for starting seed trays though.

There were no hooks with my light. I purchased hooks from Home Depot in the acoustical tile section which came with T-clips so I could hang the light from the T-rail. Works great.

No, not without some toil. The mount holes for the screws are a circle to accept the screw head, and a slot so the light hangs on the shaft of the screw. Gravity holds it in place. If you wanted it on the bottom of your artwork, you'd have to fashion a support to hold it up. I've always preferred bottom mounting of art lights, but this configuration is different - you can aim the lights so they don't shine in the observers eyes. They are great lights.

Sorry just saw you're question. The little hooks need something to hook on to. We had a broken one and used a plastic zip tie, which might work for you. Ours has been up since fall and it's still shiny and in good shape. Very happy with it.

Instead of bolting the light fixture to the bottom of the planter, it can be set directly into concrete or the ground using spikes which I believe are included, or any anchor-type mechanism you can find at any hardware store. We put ours in the planters, but on dollies, so we can roll them around our deck.
