The smaller iteration of this luminous system (which includes a guidebook, the LED bulb, one 15-foot fabric cord, an outlet timer, a three-pack of ceiling hooks, two wall fairleads and one swag hook) is ideal for small- to medium-sized houseplants. (A larger version supports bigger plants.) Remarkably, the LED lasts for 15 years, even if used for an average of 16 hours every day.
