Essential Equipment for Installation
Before beginning your installation, make sure you have the following items:

- A stable support structure or grow light frame
- Proper wiring and a reliable power source
- An optional timer for automated light control
- A 120V LED Power Cord - 10FT
Step-by-Step Installation Guide
Determine the Location
Choose a convenient location that can accommodate your plant setup and allows for continuous light exposure. Consider the proximity to an electrical outlet.
Set Up the Support Structure
Assemble your grow light frame or designate a support structure where the lights will be mounted. Ensure it can hold the weight of the LED fixtures.
Install the LED Grow Lights
Attach the LED grow lights securely to the support structure. The light should be positioned directly above the plants to ensure even distribution.
Connect the Power Cord
Use the 120V LED Power Cord | 10FT to connect your lights to the power supply. Ensure all connections are tight and secure for safety and efficiency.
Adjust Light Height and Intensity
Different plants require varying light intensities. Adjust the height of the light accordingly, keeping it closer to seedlings and adjusting as plants grow.
Set Up the Timer
Use a timer to automate the light cycle, mimicking natural daylight patterns. Most plants require 12-16 hours of light per day, although this can vary.
Monitor and Maintain
Regularly check on your setup to ensure the lights are functioning correctly. Adjust light heights and durations as needed based on plant growth and health.
