In larger commercial greenhouses, a type of light called high intensity discharge lighting (HID) is used as an alternative for the natural light. Providing artificial light in the place of natural light is fast catching up in commercial greenhouses and it is becoming popular because of the ease in controlling the intensity of light.

H.I.D. lighting, besides offsetting the natural sunlight, actually serve as a substitute during long winters when natural sunlight is inadequate. HID lighting is highly energy efficient and operational costs are low.

Here are just few of the benefits of HID lighting:

* Plants grow better and healthy in such artificial lighting

* Such lighting stimulates the plants to grow faster and to give better and increased yields

* You can have a control on the availability of light by duly extending or decreasing the time; in other terms the ?day length? is within your effective control

* With HID lighting you can protect and tend those plants that require lighting all through the year. For example, the outdoor plants that you grow over your terrace and balcony may not get enough sunlight during winter and you can move all those plants inside your greenhouse during the winter for providing the much needed light through your HID lighting

* HID lighting are more powerful than your conventional fluorescent lighting

Plant Holders, Shelves and Greenhouse Tables

Accessories such as plant holders, shelves and tables are indispensable, especially when you need to work inside your greenhouse and strive for organising and utilising your greenhouse space to a maximum extent possible. As your plant species grow, you need to accommodate them in plant holders and place them over a table or on shelf and such acts enhance the plant growth. One popular type of bench that greenhouse hobbyists prefer is the cedar double layer bench. They are durable and efficient to use.

You can opt for a two or three section aluminum extrusion length for making the shelves.
