How is this light mounted? Is there a minimum required distance from the bottom of the lamp to the plants, and a minimum hanging distance? Thanks!

It comes with a mounting cable the you hang the light from. I would hang the light at least 24" from your canopy. It's a powerful light

Eight to ten inches i hang several lights almost touching for best results. I also tie a knot in the hanger to get it as close to the celing as posible when plants are full size. These work well for small spaces but get ready to shell out some $$

hung a ratching pully with a eye hook in ceiling ! If you have it closer then 1 foot you will have burning on young plants !

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.

The light fits into a holder. . And the holder tightens down onto the light. .. it is very secure! ! I WOULD buy another one! !

we used an additional 24" pole. We have a cathedral ceiling. So ours is lower ... but I guess it's at least 12 inches or a little more from the ceiling to the bottom of the light.

By Stem Mounted, I suppose you are talking about mounting it on a pipe or conduit...There are 5 threaded holes on the base ...4 on the sides and 1 in the bottom...I believe 1/2" pipe threads...there are threaded plugs in the 4 sides, and the bottom one is open...Lance Baker's suggestion to use a pendant model...even with a lamp shade... makes more sense...Respy, Capn Carl...p.s. see Designers Edge L-1704 Hanging Farm Light with 10-Inch Reflector...also...

Sorry, I don't think this would work. The stem is made to come straight out of the canopy, and the way the two parts join is fairly rigid. There's enough "give" that you could bump the light a little and it would move slightly, but not enough that you could mount the canopy flush with the ceiling and have the lamp hang straight down.

Ours is hanginh 30" from the ceiling to the bottom of the fixture - but it depends on how close to the table you want it - we have 3 75 watt led bulbs installed that provides adequate light.We are very pleased with this purchase and the product.

I attached the light to a 3X6 inch sheet of 3/8" plywood. Drilled 1/2" holes top and bottom. I then either hang on a screw or nail or attach to tree posts, etc. using adjustable bunny cords.

The mounting options are numerous. The mounting bracket is a right angle, full length bracket with two key holes on each side of the bracket (4 holes total). The light also has two screw holes so it can be mounted directly. I mounted mine under the sink in cramped space, so I just screwed the bracket directly to my cabinet and snapped the light into the bracket. Worked great. It also comes with 3m two sided tape.

Even though the shelves are metal grids, if you hang the lights from the top, your two bottom shelves won't get it, only the top. You could hang a grow light from each shelf all the way down if they are not too bulky or thick. If you position a light from the OUTSIDE of the shelves, you could angle one light to hit all 3 shelves. The problem is that the plastic cover will probably melt from the intensity of the lamp. I use these outside in the full sun and have no issues. Do they make small clip-on lights that you could clip to each shelf and then angle?

Michael, the bottom of the light is 16" from the ceiling, however, there are two pull cords (one for the light and one for the fan) that hang down 20 1/2". They can be adjusted though.

The Lavada does not appear to allow for flush mounting, though you might be able to shorten the length of the mounting rod which attaches the assembly to the base. The height, from the base of the light to the ceiling, is approximately 12 1/2". Unaltered the lamp should provide enough clearance hanging from even a very low ceiling. One word of warning, the single 100 watt halogen bulb does not provide enough light for a large open space.

Hi Sharee, This would most likely clamp to a rounded pole as there are rubber grips on the ends of the clamps. I am not sure what you are growing nor how tall/large the tent is so I cannot answer as to the best place to put it, but probably in the middle of the top, pointing downward to saturate plants with light evenly. Rest assured that the clamp is pretty strong and thus has no problem at all supporting both hood and bulb at any angle. I would also look into buying a timer to turn the light on/off automatically or ya may forget someday, only to find out you have commited plant-genocide. :-)

I bought this light, and it hangs about 30" from the ceiling. 16 pounds seems a bit heavy, but maybe in the box. It's a great light. It is well made and looks expensive.

This lamp doesn't attach to the tank on its own. You need a stand for it. I used a spare curtain rod bracket and hung mine from the wall just above the tank. the cord is about 4 feet long.

From the ceiling to the top of the mounting ring on top of the lamp is approximately 14 inches (i.e. the length of the chain). From the ceiling to the top of the glass shades is about 23 inches. From the ceiling to the lowest point on the fixture is about 29 inches. That is how I installed mine, but the lamp actually comes with more chain and wire if you need it to hang lower. I don't remember how much length I took out of the original chain / wire. The lamp is very nice, exceeded my expectations.

I put a 100 watt flood lamp hanging from the ceiling. Just be careful lamp doesn't touch vinyl top or sides and use general safety precautions when using extension cords. Also, make sure everything is unplugged before watering. I also had all connections out of the weather. This is my second year with this greenhouse and I love it. I only wish they had designed it so you could remove the end opposite the door and had a method of ties so they could be "daisy-chained" together for making a longer unit.

We used the stand from a halogen worklight assembly (the kind with two lamp fixtures). We just removed the fixture assembly (which is attached with a wingnut) and replaced it with the spot, which mounts via a single hole in the center of the bracket. Because it is relatively lightweight, we had no problems. And, yes, it's a great light, especially for the price.
