the dark spot you gave up on
Every home has one: the corner the sun never reaches, the room with the small window, the office with none at all. Plants die there, so it stays empty. Clip on a light and that spot becomes somewhere green and alive that you get to enjoy every day.
“My home is naturally dark… any plant I brought home would die a really sad death. Now though… they are happy happy plants.”
“…we have no windows, and they are thriving better than they did in the previous space with access to natural light. Worked so well we bought them for the whole office and transformed the space.”

full spectrum or red/blue?
The same clip, necks and light bars. The difference is the light they make, and where you’ll want to see it.
| compare | full spectrumthis light | red/blue |
|---|---|---|
| how it looks | warm white, like a lamp | a purple-pink glow |
| best for | houseplants in rooms you spend time in; seedlings and fruiting plants too | seedlings, cuttings and houseplants, in spots where you like the purple glow |
| light settings | 5 brightness levels | red, blue or both, 5 brightness levels each |
| timer | 3, 6 or 12 hours | 3, 9 or 12 hours |
| power | 10 W, USB | 10 W, USB |
Both have three heads on 39 cm necks, 27 cm light bars, a 1.55 m cord, a 1 year warranty and plants that love them.
questions about the clip-on light
Quick answers before you buy, with every spec in one place.

How do I set it up?
It arrives assembled, so there are no tools and no parts to fit:
- Clip it on to a shelf, table, windowsill or rail, up to 6 cm thick.
- Bend the necks so each light bar sits 15 to 35 cm above the leaves.
- Plug in the USB cord to the wall adaptor, switch on, pick a brightness and press the timer.
How does the timer work?
Press the timer button at the time you want the light to come on. It stays on for 3, 6 or 12 hours, switches itself off, and comes on again at the same time the next day. Leave the light plugged in so it keeps the setting.
As a guide: 12 hours for plants in low-light spaces, 6 hours for spots with indirect natural light, and 3 hours for plants in bright spots that just need a top-up.
Can I use it with a smart plug?
It doesn’t need one: the timer is built in. A smart plug can switch it off, but when the power comes back the light waits for its power button, so it won’t switch itself back on.
So it won’t work with a mains timer either. If you need it to run unattended, use its own timer and leave it plugged in.
Power: adaptor, cord length, power bank?
Adaptor: it runs on 5 V USB from the wall adaptor in the box.
Cord: 1.55 m from the clip to the adaptor. The 3 m extension is a USB cable that plugs in between the cord and the adaptor.
Power bank: any USB power bank works. Owners get about 6 to 7 hours from one, so use the wall adaptor where you can.
How many plants can one light cover?
Two or three medium plants, with a head for each, or one bigger plant with all three heads on it. The light needs to be within about 35 cm of the leaves, so for a tall plant clip it high, near the top of the plant. For a bigger collection, owners add a second light.
Will the clip fit my furniture? Will the heads stay put?
The clip opens comfortably to 6 cm, and to 7.5 cm at a stretch. It grips best on a flat, square edge; on a round rail or a slippery surface, put a strip of rubber or felt inside the jaws.
Bend each neck in one smooth curve rather than a sharp kink, and keep the heads over the clip rather than reaching far out to the side, so the weight doesn’t pull them down.
Is it 10 W per head or for the whole light?
For the whole light: all three heads together draw 10 W.
Does the controller light up at night?
A small light on the controller stays on while it’s plugged in, to show it has power and is keeping your timer. In a bedroom, turn the controller to face the wall or tuck it behind a pot.
It won’t turn on, flickers or has dimmed. What should I try?
Most of the time it’s the power, not the light. Try these in order:
- Push the USB plug in firmly at both ends. A plug that’s slightly loose makes the light flicker, reset its timer or cut out when the cord is moved.
- Try another USB wall adaptor.
- Unplug it for a minute to reset it, then switch it on again.

growing with it
It looks warm white. Is it really full spectrum?
Yes. It covers the whole range plants use, and puts most of its energy where they use it most: a peak in blue (400 to 500 nm) for leaves and stems, and a stronger one in red (600 to 700 nm). Mixed together, that looks warm white to us.
A red/blue light makes only those two colours, which is why it glows purple. Plants grow well under either; the full spectrum simply looks natural in a home.
Full spectrum or red/blue: which should I get?
Both grow houseplants and seedlings well, so it mostly comes down to how you want the room to look. Pick full spectrum for a living room, bedroom or office, where you’ll see the light every day; plenty of owners raise seedlings, tomatoes and chillies under it too. Pick red/blue for a seed shelf, cuttings, or a plant corner where you like the purple glow. Compare them side by side.
How far from my plants, and for how long?
Watch the leaves. If they get crisp around the corners, the light is too close. If they reach towards the light, it’s too far.
Hold the light bars 15 to 35 cm above the leaves, never closer than 12 cm. Run it 12 hours a day in a dark spot, 6 hours where there’s some indirect daylight, and 3 hours as a top-up in a bright spot.
Think about where the plant comes from: a low-light houseplant needs very little extra, while basil wants plenty. Start dim and build up over a few days. If leaves brown or look scorched, turn it down or move it further away.
Should I leave it on 24 hours a day?
No. Plants need a dark period each day to rest, so copy a natural day and night instead of running it around the clock. That’s what the timer is for.
Does it work for plants in soil? Does it give off UV?
It works the same for plants in soil, water, hydroponics or aquaponics: it simply gives them the light they use to grow. The LEDs give off a very small amount of UV, less than most household bulbs and nowhere near enough to harm your plants.
Can I use it over an aquarium or terrarium?
Yes, owners light aquarium and terrarium plants with it. Clip it to a shelf or frame above, keep the light bars out of the water, and keep the controller and adaptor somewhere dry: the buttons don’t like damp air.
What warranty does it come with, and how do I claim?
1 year warranty from the date of purchase, on top of your rights under Australian Consumer Law. It covers the light, the controller and the adaptor.
To claim, contact us with your order number and a photo or short video of the problem. You won’t need to post the light back; we’ll send a replacement or refund.
We also offer change-of-mind returns on all products.

Easy to use and reposition the lights, and my plants are much happier too. Clips nicely on top of the sunshelf
Thank you for your review Emma, we are happy to hear that your love them.

The different lighting options and timer are useful, however the arms don’t want to stay where moved if you change your mind about configuration after the first position. They become droopy and uncooperative.

I have two sets overlooking my new plants shelf, and Ive never had any issues. I run the 12 hour timer and i dont have to think about them at all, theyre so convenient and my plants love them.
Perfect ! we are so glad about the convenience its giving you. Thank you so much for the review and telling us about your experience

My spider plant, languishing a whole two metres away from the window, perked up in a matter of days when given a light. My orchid is already sending up new shoots.
The timer function is great, and I dont need to worry about it at all.
The only thing - not enough to deduct a star - is the power consumption: I bought the usb powered light because my orchid is in a washroom so there are no outlets. The light gets through 2x 10600mAh power banks in a 12 hour day so I have to change them in the morning and lunch.
Its still better than the limited light through the window!

Very happy, looks great and easy to assemble
Yes these are great lights too, we are happy to know your plants are doing well! Thanks for the review!

My orchids were struggling but after only a couple weeks they are sending out new leaf growth and air shoots. Hoping for great flowering next season. Many Thanks Quick postage. Will be purchasing more.
Awesome !! and we are so happy for you !
P
My cucumbers are growing much better now due to these lights! No longer 'leggy' due to stretching for sunlight
G
First of all- what a lovely professional company! I got a reply to my query from Tamara the same evening and she reassured me that the clip would attach securely to the tricky vertical banister and that the lights would work at an angle needed.And they do!
I didn't realise the lights are so bendy and adjustable.Fantastic product! I hope my half dead sun deprived plants come alive.Update in 6 months...
T
Nice to find a grow light that doesn't look like it'll put me on a list. I'll probably get another 👍
S
Received my order fairly quickly and so very happy with this fantastic 3 leg led glow light ,sitting above my indoor plants .
Thank you and a very happy customer!👏😊
Thanks so much for the kind review! Love the piccy and glad its going well!
L
Love it, very adjustable. Little too early to say if helping but am quietly confident!
K
I purchased 2 of these for my planted nano aquariums and they have been magnificent! Just placed an order for another💡🌿
Thanks so much for the review, glad you like it!

My house has minimal natural light and I thought I had no options until I was gifted the sun shelf. The additional lights are so easy to add, and I have added this clip on light to the top shelf. My plants are loving life!

I have been growing cacti and succulents for years as a hobby, so much that, as you can see from thr pic, I do not have the use of my kitchen table ! I tried many grow lights in the past but must say that the full spectrum one from Gathera is absolutely brilliant. Visible faster growth, brings out the colouring on the plants and you do not have to plug them in. You can, as I do, plug it into a 20,000-27,000 mAh power bank as it runs out of juice after 6-7 hours. My windows face due South which also helps. I would have hated to run unsightly cables through the kitchen.
Anyway Folks, Happy Bunny I is hehe.
Thank you

My plants love these lights , I've had them a couple of weeks and have worked up from 3 hrs to 6 hrs per day and they're looking much healthier
K
I bought 1 to see if tt lived up to the claims - I now have 2 need I say more?
I
Can’t rate more highly. Some plants like my peace lily just look fuller and more lush - just happier.
Here’s where i can actually see the results in just 3 weeks! i’ve had a cutting for almost 2 years (looks like a darker variety of a pothos but i’m unsure). Until now its only had 2 leaves. There is now new growth and a shoot coming off.
Spider plant cuttings i’ve had sitting in water for 10 days have strong healthy thick roots and are ready to be potted.
I’d cut back my monsterra and had stems in water and they had a good healthy root system and i repotted after just 14 days.
My kentia palm has new growth and shoots and had looked like it was dying before i got these lights.
My money plant that had looked fake because of no new growth or change in a year has 2 little new leaves growing.
I’m so impressed and have recommended to my friends and family.
I’ve been using the lamp for around 7 hours a day. I live in Scotland (currently its November) i’ve been putting on the lights from around 3 or 4pm until i go to bed at 10/11pm.
E
I'm so happy with these lights! They work brilliantly, are easy to use. Perfect for my Victorian Cottage because of the tiny windows. Been using them on the timer for a few days and I already have new growth on some plants and new leaves that were stubborn are now opening. Would highly recommend!
A
Used them for different house plants for a few years now and work pretty well. Started using for micro greens and seem to work well with the light adjustment 👌
J
I purchased two of the triple grow lights and they are exactly what my plants needed. Our home is naturally dark so these are helping some of my many plants. I plan on buying more when I can. I happily recommend this company and the lights.
