the sun patch | a full spectrum grow light for seedlings and indoor plants

the sun patch raises strong seedlings and keeps your indoor plants thriving, right on your tabletop. No more pale, leggy seedlings stretching towards a window that never quite gives them enough. It delivers full, sun-like light from day one, so plants grow sturdy stems, healthy roots and full, green foliage.

It's a proper full spectrum grow light in a tidy tabletop form, just as happy raising a tray of seedlings as it is giving a shelf of houseplants a boost through the darker months.

the kind of light plants thrive in

Plants grow best under light that behaves like the sun, and that's exactly what the sun patch gives them. It covers the wavelengths plants use to photosynthesise, so growth is stronger and leaves come in greener. A precision lens sits over every diode and focuses the light down onto your plants rather than spilling it across the room, so more of it reaches the leaves where it counts.

exactly the light they need, without the guesswork

Different plants want different amounts of light, and what they want changes as they grow. the sun patch lets you give each one exactly the right exposure, then set the timer and leave it. Your plants get steady, consistent light every day, even when you're away, so they grow healthy without you having to think about it.

made to sit happily in your home

Grow lights have a reputation for looking like lab equipment. the sun patch doesn't. Warm bamboo arms and a clean, compact body mean it looks at home on a kitchen counter or a side table rather than out of place. It sets up in minutes and barely takes up any room.

How many hours a day should I run my grow light?

It depends on how much natural light the spot already gets. As a guide for our clip-on lights, use about 12 hours a day in low-light spaces, 9 hours where there is indirect natural light, and around 3 hours in bright, naturally lit spots. Light-hungry herbs like basil will want more than a typical houseplant.

The Sun Panel, Sun Patch, Sun Garden and Sun Shelf 3 have 8, 12 and 16 hour timer settings. Start on a lower brightness and build up over a few days.

What happens if my product develops a fault?

If your item is faulty or was damaged on arrival, you are covered for 12 months from the date of delivery. This does not limit your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

Submit a return request through your account, choosing "Defective or Damaged" as the reason, and email info@gathera.co.uk with your order number, a description of the fault and photos or video. We can often fix the problem without you needing to send anything back. We replace items that are defective or damaged.

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. Use the built-in timer, or a wifi smart plug, so your light switches 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.

How close should my grow light be to my plants?

Keep our clip-on lights at least 10cm from any leaves so they do not scorch. For the full spectrum clip-on light, 12 to 15cm is ideal, and no further than around 35 to 40cm.

Start on a dim setting and increase it over a few days so your plants can adjust. If leaves start to brown or look scorched, lower the brightness or move the light further away.

Why is my plant growing so slowly?

The four most common reasons:

  • Its natural cycle. Days to maturity usually count from germination, which can add a few weeks.
  • Not enough nutrients or light. In darker months, a grow light makes a big difference.
  • Over-pruning, which leaves too few leaves for photosynthesis.
  • Cold or still air. Many plants prefer a warm room and gentle airflow.

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.
