Key Upgrades
The Sun Shelf 3 builds on our past successes, including the 2019 Family Farm, a hit that even made it to Costco. Now, the Sun Shelf 3 brings our biggest upgrade yet.
We've doubled LED efficiency by adding lenses to each diode, maximizing growth while reducing power usage.
The supersized basins hold triple the water, so you’ll go months without watering. Our patent-pending Gathera net cups feature algae guards and easy-to-clean, indestructible silicone.
The sustainable bamboo shelf is lightweight and durable, and the streamlined wiring requires only one wall outlet and four internal connections.
Ultra Efficient Grow Lights
Each panel comes with red (660nm) and white (3000k and 4000k) diodes. Providing a targeted wavelength of light for plant growth.
The light controller allows you to change between three timer settings which allow you to turn your light on a 24 hour timer for 8, 12, or 16 hours per day.
Adjustable intensity - five light intensity settings 100%, 80%, 60%, 40%, and 20%.
Easy hydroponic growing
If you love growing food, you'll love our massive 20L hydroponic basin—refill only every 3-4 months!
Years of experience have shown that wide plant spacing improves growth, airflow, and pest control while making harvesting easier.
Our durable silicone net cups prevent algae, simplify transplanting, and are easy to clean.
The aeration pump plugs directly into the light panel for seamless setup!
15 Minute Setup
The Sun Shelf is built for ease of use. Lights simply clip into place on each level, and there is only one cable for the full Sun Shelf. You will be up and running in 15 minutes.
Hydro pumps connect directly to each light and are controlled by the light timers. Simple and easy.
Sustainable Bamboo
Made from fast-growing sustainable bamboo, which typically doesn't use pesticides, fertilizers, or irrigation to grow.
Adjustable layer heights range from 154mm to 740mm, making this perfect for everything from house plants to seedlings or even veggies!
Quick mount lighting! The mounting clips for the lights come ready assembled, meaning you don't have to fuss around with a screwdriver to set up your lights!

Shelf Specifications
The adjustable shelf heights allow for a minimum shelf gap of 154mm, and a maximum height of 754mm.
Weight limit - We do not recommend adding more than 25kg to each shelf layer. Furniture tip-over is dangerous, and we recommend using the wall fastening devices provided.
Fully flatpacked
We've designed our Sun Shelf 3 to be beautifully simple to put together. It comes with one allen key which assembles the 20 screws in 20 minutes!
Basin Specifications
Foodgrade ABS basin, foodgrade and antibacterial silicone netcups.
20L Hydroponic growing basin
- An ultra large hydroponic basin, with 20L water capacity, means super low maintenance minimum refilling
- Comes with 18 of the world's first netcup with an integrated algae guard. Prevent unsightly and nutrient-wasting algae growth on your rockwool cube!
- Antibacterial, foodsafe silicone netcups for easy cleaning. Single aperture makes it easy to remove your plant without destroying its roots.
- Seamless integration. Just one power connection into the light powers the powerful pump that oxygenates your water!
- Fuss free refills. We've integrated the shape of a funnel into the basin to make mess-free refilling of your basin a breeze.
- Wipes clean the first time most times - Over time residue can build up in your basin, this can be root matter, particles of rockwool, nutrients or other minerals in the water. The basin's high gloss surface finish and large internal radiuses makes cleaning out your basin a breeze.
- Plastic - but the better kind. Our foodsafe ABS is impact resistant, low scratch, won't fade over time, and is easily recyclable at end-of life
