hello, i figured this would be the most helpful sub given that 1.) r/ houseplants is a mess and i don't follow and 2.) rare plants are expensive so i figured a lot of you would use grow lights to keep your plants happy and healthy. pic attached for visual explanation
i'm looking for grow lights that i can hang from my ceiling – they don't need to be pretty or anything, but i'd like to have some with long cords giving them the length to come down to a table in front of my front window.
any suggestions? thanks!!!

I’d recommend Sansi grow lights. They have variations that you can mount on your ceilings and they’re very good lights.
I have a couple of these: [https://a.co/d/hejZHvQ](https://a.co/d/hejZHvQ) and use a grow bulb. You can buy whatever pendant shade you want as it comes with an attachment to secure it. Cheap, easy, aesthetically pleasing, customizable.

Can’t recommend Soltech enough https://soltech.com/
You can put a grow light bulb in any lamp or light fixture you want!
I highly recommend watching this video!

I ordered these and will put in 36 watt sansi bulbs. I also installed track lighting and put similar fixtures with sansi bulbs.
And I hung barrina bar lights over some hanging plants.

Hanging pendant grow lights. Can’t remember if Samson or barrina
I’ve got sansi grow light bulbs in several different lamps and fixtures. I got [these pendant lights](https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BD4Y8JLK?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title) on Amazon for one of my setups and put my [favorite sansi bulb](https://www.sansiled.com/products/a21-24w-led-grow-light-bulb) in them.
Hey just a reminder that grow lights are usually tiny lasers that can injure the eyes of you or your pets if looked into, and they disrupt your circadian rhythm.
