Omega Spectra G100 LED Grow Light for Herbs & Houseplants
The Omega Spectra G100 is a compact full spectrum LED panel made for tidy UK homes. It is a lovely grow light for herbs and houseplants on a shelf or plant stand.
Omega’s Spectra range is popular with growers who want reliable everyday light without a huge fixture. The G100 slots into a kitchen corner or spare-room shelf and quietly keeps basil, salads and leafy plants thriving.
British-favourite Spectra light for small spaces
This is the light you choose when the windowsill is already full. Full spectrum output helps herbs stay fragrant and houseplants keep their colour through grey months, and the panel is sized for rooms you actually live in.
Parents often use a G100 above a children’s microgreen tray: sow together on Sunday, snip into sandwiches a week later.
What you can grow under your G100
- Kitchen herbs in pots
- Microgreens and baby leaves
- Seedlings for outdoor planting
- Leafy houseplants away from the window
- Compact chillies on a plant shelf

Your questions answered
Is the G100 good for houseplants?
Yes. Leafy plants that sit too far from a window often perk up under a compact full spectrum panel like this.
Can I grow food under it?
Herbs, microgreens and salads do well. Keep fruiting plants small and close to the light.
How does it compare to strip lights?
A panel gives a broader puddle of light than a single strip, so a cluster of pots shares the brightness more evenly.
Is it noisy?
No. It is designed for indoor rooms.

Frequently asked questions
How many hours should I leave it on?
For most kitchen herbs and houseplants, 12 to 14 hours a day works well. Seedlings often prefer 14 to 16 hours, then a proper dark night.
How far should it be from the plants?
About 20 to 40cm above the tops of your plants is a good starting range. Raise the light if leaf tips bleach.
How much electricity does it use?
At about 100W for 12 hours a day it uses roughly 1.2 kWh a day. At about 25p per kWh, that is about 30p a day.
Is it safe around pets and children?
Keep cords tidy and out of reach, and hang the light so curious paws or little hands cannot pull it down. Supervise watering near electrics as you would with any household appliance.
Does it have a UK plug?
Yes. It uses a UK plug.
