Acceptable humidity levels for the Pianta bulb

The Pianta bulb isn't rated as waterproof, so while they can work well in cabinets and moderately humid environments, we recommend caution. For safety and longevity, avoid using them in areas where humidity consistently exceeds 90% or where water could condense and drip onto the fixture.

How long should Pianta grow lights be on for?

This will depend on the type of plant you are growing and on how much natural light your plants are getting. As a rough rule of thumb to effectively mimic the sun's natural light it should be on for 8- 16 hours a day however if there is already a lot of natural light, it can be used for just a few hours a day to top up the light and keep the plant thriving. Even plants need a good nights sleep! Make sure not to run the light for longer than 16 hours a day so your plants can rest.

Will it emit any UV light?

No, the Pianta grow light does not emit any UV light, nor does it emit harmful light waves. Plants don’t actually need UV light for photosynthesis. They primarily use visible light, especially in the red and blue spectrums, to fuel their growth. The Pianta grow light has been specifically designed for use in living areas, ensuring it is safe for both plants and humans alike. This design choice means that the Pianta can be used comfortably in your home or office without the risk of UV exposure, making it ideal for supporting plant growth while prioritising the well-being of everyone in the space.

Why not just use an ordinary bulb?

A grow light bulb for plants is specifically designed to emit light that supports plant growth. Unlike regular bulbs, it provides a spectrum of light that promotes photosynthesis, helping plants grow healthier and more robust indoors. The Pianta grow light is much more powerful than standard bulbs, delivering the optimal intensity and spectrum needed for plant development. This makes it an ideal solution for those who want to ensure their plants thrive, especially in spaces with limited natural light.

How far should I position my grow light from my plants for optimal growth?

For the best results, the plants should be within the bulb’s effective light range, which is typically around 80cm -110cm. You can find more information on light distance here: https://grow-gang.com/blogs/blog/how-close-to-keep-your-grow-lights. Your plants will give you feedback: if they appear to be stretching towards the light, they need to be moved closer. If they show signs of scorching (brown or yellowing leaves), move the light further away.

How do I set up my Smart Life app for my Tempo Timer?

With a smartphone you can go to the app store and download the app ‘Smart life – smart living’, or scan the QR code on the side of the box which will take you there. When on the app you don’t actually have to make an account – you can click ‘try as Guest’, and allow it to connect to your network and Bluetooth (the account gives you extra features which aren't essential) Plug in the smart timer into the mains, press and hold the button on the side down for about 6 seconds, until it starts flashing rapidly. On the app click ‘add device’, it should find the smart plug, you then will have to connect it to the wifi and add your password. It should then be connected, and you can set schedules under the ‘timer’ section of the app.
