is it in the box?

The smart plug is not in the box unless you add it here. The Sun Bulb has no switch or timer of its own: it’s on whenever the wall socket is on.

The wifi smart plug goes between the bulb and the socket, and switches the light on and off at the times you set in its phone app. The bulb itself doesn’t connect to the app.

A white pendant on a fabric cable, not a purple panel. The warm white light looks natural in a living room, so the plants become the feature.
Slide the lens from a tight spot to a wide flood, then tilt the bulb to light the leaves, not your eyes. how it works
Under the white shell is a solid aluminium body that draws heat away from the LED, which is rated for 30,000 hours. The power supply is built in, so there’s no bulky block on the cable.

fits wherever your plants are

Three ways to hang it, and how each one goes up. Start with the ceiling clips and add a bracket or stand later if you like.

swipe

1. Screw the ceiling fastener in above your plants.
2. Run the fabric cable through it and let the bulb down to the height you want.
3. Clip the cable down the wall to the socket with the three wall fasteners.
All in every box, with a 4.5 m cable.
1. Screw the metal bracket to the wall with the plugs and screws included.
2. Hang the bulb from the end of the arm, 310 mm out from the wall.
3. Tilt the bulb down over your plant.
Buy it with the bulb, or on its own.
1. Put it together with the screws and Allen keys in the box, the leaning pole reaching over the plant.
2. Stand it beside your plant: 1,640 mm tall on a 400 × 250 mm base.
3. Hang the bulb from the arm and wind the spare cable around the pole.
No drilling, so it suits renters. Also sold on its own.
The bulb has no switch of its own. The wifi smart plug turns it on and off at the times you set, and switches it from the app. It’s not in the box: add it above, or buy it on its own.
Hung low with the beam focused, it gives the strong light herbs, lettuce and seedlings need, in soil or over an heirloom planter.
It draws just 22 W: about 7.2 kWh a month, or roughly $2.50 at Australian power prices. A smart plug schedule means it’s never left on by accident.

put your plants where you want them

No window needed. A Sun Bulb brings the light to the plant, so a dark corner, a hallway or a north-facing room can hold your best plants, and you can arrange the room the way you want it instead of crowding everything by the glass.

how much light reaches your plants

dial in the light

Three adjustments set exactly how much light reaches your plants, and where.

swipe

Slide the lens to set the beam anywhere from a focused 15° spot, for one big plant, to a wide 50°, for a group of houseplants or a green wall.
Most grow bulbs only light what’s straight below. The Sun Bulb tilts on its strap, so you can light a shelf from the side or reach the leaves of a tall plant.
Hang it lower and focus the beam for more light on one plant, or higher and wider to cover a group. see the light map

how much light reaches your plants?

Light straight below the bulb (PPFD, µmol/m²/s) and the area the beam covers, at each height and at both ends of the lens.

150+ sun lovers: fiddle leaf fig, cacti, herbs

Readings were taken at the 15° and 50° settings; the lens sets any beam between them. For one big plant, like a tall monstera or a kentia palm, hang it 0.75 to 1 m above and widen the beam until it covers the leaves. Full map from 0.25 to 3 m in the FAQ.

questions about the Sun Bulb

Quick answers before you buy, with every spec in one place.

the bulb

How do I hang it?

Three ways, and you can switch between them later:

From the ceiling, with the cable fasteners in every box: one holds the cable at the ceiling, and three run it neatly down the wall to the socket.
On the metal wall bracket, screwed to the wall. Its arm reaches 310 mm out.
On the bamboo floor stand, with no drilling at all. It’s 1,640 mm tall on a 400 × 250 mm base.

Or wind the fabric cable around a curtain rail, a plant pole or the stairs. Tilt the bulb on its strap to aim it, then slide the lens to set the beam.

A wall bracket must be fixed firmly to the wall. The fixings supplied are for brick or concrete; plasterboard and other walls need fixings made for them. If you’re unsure, ask a qualified installer.

Does it have a switch? Is the smart plug included?

The bulb and cable have no switch, so it’s on whenever the wall socket is on. The smart plug is only in the box if you add it when you order; you can also buy it on its own.

The smart plug goes between the bulb and the socket. You pair the plug, not the bulb, with its phone app, then set the times it turns the light on and off each day. Plants grow best with a regular day and night, so a timer does more than save a trip to the socket.

It looks warm white. Is it really full spectrum?

Yes. Colour temperature (3500K) describes how the light looks to us, not which wavelengths it holds. The Sun Bulb’s white LED covers the whole 400 to 700 nm range plants use, from blue to red, and puts out 19.16 µmol/s of it.

A cooler 6500K “daylight” bulb looks bluer, but that doesn’t make it better for plants. The warm white simply looks natural in a home.

Does it get hot?

The body gets warm while it’s on. That’s by design: the aluminium draws heat away from the LED so it lasts longer. Let it cool before you move or adjust it, and keep it clear of leaves and fabric.

growing with it

How high should I hang it, and how much can one bulb light?

It depends on what you grow. Most foliage houseplants, like monstera, kentia palm and aroids, are happy with 40 to 150 PPFD: hang it 0.5 to 1 m above with the beam wide, and it covers 1.3 to 2.5 m². Sun lovers like a fiddle leaf fig want more: hang it lower or focus the beam.

For one big plant, go higher and widen the beam until it covers the leaves, or light it from two sides with a second bulb.

height	15° beam	50° beam
0.25 m	1,900 over 0.2 m²	415 over 0.6 m²
0.5 m	850 over 0.4 m²	135 over 1.3 m²
0.75 m	350 over 0.6 m²	85 over 1.9 m²
1 m	200 over 0.8 m²	48 over 2.5 m²
1.25 m	122 over 1 m²	36 over 3.2 m²
1.5 m	90 over 1.2 m²	22 over 3.9 m²
1.75 m	70 over 1.4 m²	18 over 4.5 m²
2 m	50 over 1.6 m²	14 over 5.2 m²
2.5 m	35 over 2 m²	not measured
3 m	24 over 2.4 m²	not measured

How much does it cost to run?

About $2.50 a month at Australian power prices. It draws 22 W and uses about 7.2 kWh a month. The smart plug app shows exactly what yours uses.

Should I leave my grow lights on 24 hours a day?

No. Plants need a dark period each day to rest, so copy a natural day and night cycle rather than running lights around the clock. A wifi smart plug switches your light on and off by itself.

Light needs vary by plant. Too many hours of light can make some leafy greens, like spinach, bolt to seed.

Do grow lights work for plants in soil?

Yes. Our grow lights give plants the wavelengths they use to grow, so they work just as well for plants in soil as for hydroponic and aquaponic setups.

Lumens, watts, Kelvin or PAR: how do I compare grow lights?

Lumens measure brightness as the human eye sees it, not what plants use. Watts measure power use, not light output. Kelvin describes colour, from warm and reddish to cool and bluish. PAR is the range of light plants use for photosynthesis (400 to 700 nm), and PPFD measures how much of that useful light reaches your plants.

For growing, PAR and PPFD are the numbers that matter. Learn more in how much light do plants need?

What warranty does it come with?

1 year warranty from the date of purchase, on top of your rights under Australian Consumer Law. If anything goes wrong, contact us with your order number and a photo, and we’ll arrange a repair, replacement or refund.

We also offer change-of-mind returns on all products.

Great product

I would definitely recommend this light. I could tell from the weight of the light that it was good quality. I would buy it again.

thank you for the review Georgina

Great light

Fast delivery and easy to assemble. We put this in our bedroom and the plant is loving the light.

Perfect light for my indoor plants

I’ve had the Sun Bulb grow light for a week and I’m already seeing a difference in my plants. The adjustable tilt and lens make it easy to set up, and the light quality feels spot on. Really happy with it so far.

Thank you Hakeem, we are so happy you love the Sun Bulb!

Winter savers for sure

Perfect light for my plants to go through winter ,so far so good 😊
Thank you

Wow what an awesome picture! Thanks so much for sharing and glad its helping you get your plants through the long cold winter!

Have joined the cool crew!!

Kept seeing this light all over the socials!! It lives up to the hype…plants love it and it looks good!!

Thanks you so much for the review Amanda. Great to hear another happy customer. We love it that you are enjoying your Gathera Sun Bulb !

Very impressed with the sun bulb, I was surprised just how bright it is, hopefully all my plants will be happy, I'm also hoping it will help with the soil mites infestation, highly recommend

Thanks for the kind review and so happy to know you plants are doing well!

Sun Bulb

Love it!! Perfect light for my little indoor hydro lettuce babes. The timer plug and app are a game changer! Quick delivery, easy setup, amazing communication!

Glad to hear you Love it Carli ! Thanks for the review and enjoy your growing!

Grow queen!

Since getting the globes all my plants have been producing new healthy leaves. I did purchase some light stands to put them on as the wall support did not come out far enough for me. I also really like the smart timers! Can turn them off easily on my phone when it’s watering time

Thank you for taking the time to wirte in a review. We love that the Sun Bub is helping your plants to grow and produce healthy new leaves! Happy growing !

Fantastic quality and light output

Thrilled with my Sun Bulb grow lights. They are much heavier/ better quality than you would imagine for the price. The light output is excellent and I like the adjustable lens feature. Having lost too many to dark conditions in the past, I am very confident my plants will thrive now.

Amazing!

I've not been using for too long buy my plants seem to be really benefiting from it so far, new growth where there hasn't been any for a long time. The big draw to this one for me was all in the angling. I've been unsuccessfully looking for this for soo long I'm soo glad I finally found Gathera.

Sun bulb

Love my light , good quality , fast delivery , great service thankyou

Thank you so much for the stunning review! So glad that you like it!

Great for your plants and your eyes!

This grow light is the best I’ve used, can’t thank the Gathera crew enough for putting this out in the world!

I’ve tried tripod grow lights from Amazon, the IKEA grow bulbs and Sansi grow bulbs - the gathera sun bulb is the best by far! Aesthetically fits better with our decor, the actual light colour just feels warmer, rather than a weird off blue like other brands. It doesn’t blind you when walking into a room due
the shape/angle of the light.

It’s really easy to fine tune the light exactly to your plant’s needs by adjusting the angle and narrow/wideness of beam too!

Thanks so much for the awesome review! So glad that you appreciate the quality of our grow light and the work we've put into it! We did really want it to be a warm white so that it didnt feel so clinical, and the PPFD output of it is insane!

Game changer!

I’m loving the Sun Bulb the only thing I think I’d like as I don’t want to hang it from the ceiling is a little longer wall mount so as I could tilt the bulb more in front of the plants. Other than that it’s amazing, my plants are loving it so far and already have new leaves since installing it! Pretty much a game changer for grow lights that are actually aesthetic and help your plants grow!

Thank you so much for the awesome review! Great feedback noted - we've got a different wall bracket coming in that does reach out further which I will send you when they arrive!

Hope you have a great week!

Sun bulb

Oh my goodness, got this bad boy today set it up and wow!! My big boys are really going to thrive even more now. ( previously had the full spectrum which has done wonders)

Thanks so much for the kind review! I'm glad we were able to make your sun bulb experience a good one! Love the picture - your setups looking incredible!

Love the light! My maranta has never grown this fast before! Within the first month I got the light, the plant has been giving me nearly 10 new growth!

Easy to install - the plants on death row are enjoying their time

Excellent lights!

Best grow light on the market!!!!

Excellent Lamp & Customer Service

The sub bulb and bamboo stand feel and look high quality. Customer service was also really good.

Thank you so much Matthew !

I was impressed with this product. So much so that I have already purchased a second one. The build quality is good, and I like the stylish look. The adjustable light aperture is very useful as allows you to dial in the light spread to just your plants without getting light in your eyes when you walk past it. The only real issue I have is the lack of instructions on how to use the included wall/ceiling mounting screw thingys. Hopefully I can find this information online somewhere.

Thanks for the Review Ben, the instructions manual have these instructions, however please us know if we can help with anthing specific. email me at our customer service at info@gathera.com
