Solace Pendant Grow Light

Start at 12-18 inches above your plant's foliage and adjust from there. Light-hungry plants like succulents and herbs can handle 10-12 inches, while shade lovers like pothos prefer 18-24 inches. Your plants will tell you if they need adjustments—stretching means too far, burning means too close.

Most houseplants thrive on the 12-hour cycle, which mimics natural day-night rhythms. Use the 9-hour setting for low-light plants like snake plants or ZZ plants. The 3-hour cycle works best for supplementing natural window light during winter months.

Solace effectively covers a 2-3 foot diameter area. That means one large statement plant like a fiddle leaf fig, a cluster of 3-5 medium plants, or 8-12 smaller pots depending on how you arrange them. The adjustable brightness helps you optimize coverage.

Absolutely! Solace is excellent for seedlings and propagations. Use 70-100% brightness and the 12-hour timer. The full-spectrum light encourages strong root development and prevents leggy growth. Many plant parents report faster rooting times compared to windowsill propagation.

The 4000K neutral white hits the sweet spot for plant growth and human comfort. It's warm enough to feel natural and cozy in your home, but still provides the blue spectrum plants need for compact, healthy growth. Plus, it doesn't distort colors like purple or harsh white lights do.

CRI (Color Rendering Index) measures how accurately colors appear under light. At CRI 97, you see your plants exactly as they'd look in natural sunlight. This means you can spot yellowing leaves, pest damage, or nutrient issues immediately—not to mention you get to fully appreciate that stunning variegation you paid extra for.

Not at all! Unlike purple grow lights or harsh white LEDs, Solace produces comfortable neutral white light. You can read, work, or relax under it without eye strain. Many plant parents say it actually creates nice ambient lighting in their space.

Start at 50% and observe your plants for a week. If they're stretching toward the light or producing small leaves, increase brightness. If leaf edges look burned or colors fade, decrease it. Low-light plants typically need 30-50%, medium-light plants 50-70%, and high-light plants 70-100%.

Yes! Solace works with any smart plug, so if you already use Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit compatible plugs, you can integrate it seamlessly. Control it with voice commands, create custom schedules, or sync multiple lights together.

Not at all! Installation is completely DIY-friendly. Mount the included hook into your ceiling (just like hanging a plant or picture frame), hang Solace, and plug into any standard outlet. Most people finish in under 10 minutes.

You don't need to cut it! Use the excess cord to create intentional swags or loops for a designer look, or coil the extra length neatly near the outlet. The long cord gives you flexibility to rearrange without limitations.

Yes! While Solace is designed as a ceiling pendant, you can adapt it to pole mounting or other configurations. Just ensure whatever you're hanging from can support the 1.9-pound weight and that the light can angle downward toward your plants.

The aluminum housing stays cool to the touch thanks to excellent heat dissipation. Unlike old-school grow lights that get dangerously hot, Solace is safe around curious pets, kids, or accidental bumps. The LEDs generate minimal heat.

Rated for 100,000 hours, which translates to over 11 years if you run it 12 hours every single day. Most plant parents will get 15-20 years of use with seasonal variation in usage. The aluminum construction and quality LEDs are built for the long haul.
