each with one standard lamp and one "flora". For ease of hanging, Novy Svet screwed hooks into the standard mounting holes of the lamps. The lamps are suspended on chains, which in turn hang on hooks screwed into the top shelf (the hooks cost pennies and are screwed in in seconds).

Shelves for seedlings on the windowsill
Nadezhda Afan has been using a collapsible shelving unit for many years. Its advantages: it is compact, can be disassembled at the end of the season and takes up little space for storage.

The length of the chains is calculated using the formula above: so that seedlings can be placed under the bottom board of the rack and a fluorescent lamp can be attached, which rises and falls depending on the growth of the seedlings. The chains are put on hooks screwed to the window block. At the end of the season, the rack is disassembled, and the hooks remain.

Above each shelf there are two lamps,
