Installing wire shelf and LED lights for small Orchids, African Violets & other plants!

Installing wire shelf and LED lights for small Orchids, African Violets & other plants! Today I take you along with me as I install a new shelf and LED lights for my AV's and mini Phalaenopsis Orchids!
🦋 More info below! 🦋

Wire shelves are a very popular option with plant growers in general, but sadly I never had access to them.. until now, when IKEA stocked up on some wire shelves! The one I use is called OMAR and you can learn more about it here

I am also installing some LED lights, which I think are meant to be used in the kitchen. Here is a link to more info on them (use google translate if you don't have translations turned on on your browser)

I attached them with cable ties, as LED's don't heat up at all and the fixtures are light as a feather :P I also need to daisy chain them, but I will do this later.

I am using this shelf for African violets and probably some mini Phalaenopsis, the light is not super bright, but it is absolutely enough for Phalaenopsis and other lower to medium light plants!
