Essential components of a track kit for preserved plants

A kit like this includes an LED bar with a full spectrum that reproduces natural tones, a modular aluminium track for even lighting, and an timer that manages suitable day/night cycles. This combination protects preserved plants and instantly enhances your plant picture.

  • Full-spectrum LED bar : It provides light even, 360°-adjustable light with a 60° beam, without heating the preserved foliage.
  • Modular aluminium track : It can be extended from 1 to 6 metres and hold up to 20 spotlights using its multiple connectors, making it suitable for large green walls.
  • Integrated driver and timer : They allow you to adjust light intensity (10–100%), set automatic cycles, reduce consumption and create custom lighting scenes for your lighting.

The support can be adjusted in height and tilt (±45°), making installation easier and improving heat dissipation. The powder-coated cover conceals cables for a clean, durable finish on any preserved green wall.

Power and colour temperature for green walls

To properly lights a green wall indoors, allow 8–12 W per square metre. This helps avoid both shadowed areas and excessive light. A colour temperature of about 4,000 K (neutral white) reveals the beauty of preserved foliage without triggering photosynthesis, which is unnecessary for preserved plants.

Also choose a colour rendering index (CRI) above 80, ideally 90. A high CRI brings out deep greens and red pigments, enhancing your interior décor while preserving the delicate appearance of preserved plants.

Wall area (m²) Recommended total power (W) Number of 45 W spotlights Light output (µmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹)
2 m² 90 W 2 spotlights 150–200
3–4 m² 180 W 4 spotlights in a cross pattern 180–250

Track dimensions for indoor wall area

For an area of 2 m², a track 100 cm track fitted with two 45 W spotlights provides 150–200 µmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹ and illuminates every detail of your preserved plants. This compact setup is ideal for small green walls or plant pictures in an entrance hall or living room.

For larger areas (3–4 m²), install two tracks in a cross layout with four 45 W spotlights each. This arrangement distributes light evenly and avoids over- or under-lighting, creating a harmonious result for your indoor green wall.

Thanks to the tracks made of modular aluminium, your installation can be expanded to hold up to 20 spotlights without changing the structure. This gives you precise lighting to enhance one green wall, several green walls or any future extension of your indoor greenery.

Installing and adjusting the track system

Installing a track-mounted horticulturalLED lighting system is straightforward for both home and professional use. Its design allows for quick and secure installation, in line with current French electrical standards.

Quickly mounting the track on an indoor green wall

The track attaches easily to your indoor green wall using clever clamping clips that avoid additional drilling and preserve the surface.

  • Clamping clips, no drilling required : These lock into place instantly and adapt to different wall depths for installation without complex tools.
  • Height- and angle-adjustable supports : They let you precisely adjust the angle (±45°) and distance (30–40 cm) between the spotlights and the plant picture, for light uniformity.
  • 360° rotation : Adjustable spotlights can direct their 60° beam exactly where the presentation is needed, eliminating shadowed areas.
  • Pre-routed wiring : Concealed cable routing and a quick connector preserve the appearance of your interior décor.

The kit includes screws, wall plugs and a screwdriver for self-installation. However, NF C 15-100 compliance should be checked for any power exceeding 200 watts.

Programming the light cycle for preserved plants

An intelligent timer manages the light cycle, helping preserve the colours of preserved plants, preserved moss and preserved lichen, by reproducing a day/night cycle suited to your indoor space.

  • Adjustable day/night cycle : 12–16 hours of light followed by a period of darkness can help extend the service life of the LEDs and preserved plants.
  • Integrated motion sensor : It reduces consumption by 15–20% by activating theLED lighting only when movement is detected.
  • Custom ambience modes : A simulated dusk or green wall lighting focused on selected areas enhances the presentation of specific areas of your preserved green wall.
  • Memory function : After a power cut, the timer restarts automatically using the last saved settings.

Synchronising the dimmer with the lighting scene ensures smooth transitions. This prevents power surges and abrupt changes in brightness, making your indoor greenery.

Dimming settings for the ideal ambience

The built-in dimmer (10–100%) lets you adjust brightness according to the time of day or season. This provides light for each ambience while protecting the LEDs.

Gradually increasing intensity at startup protects the LEDs from power surges. It also creates a LED lighting natural in appearance, ideal for highlighting the delicate textures of preserved moss and preserved lichen on your indoor green wall.

Preventive maintenance for LEDs and electrical connections

LED lighting grow lighting needs little attention: a damp microfibre cloth used every three months is enough to remove dust that could dull the lenses. This keeps the light beam stable and true to the tones of preserved foliage, helping avoid any drop in performance.

  • Regular cleaning of the optics : Cleaning every three months restores brightness and optimal colour rendering.
  • Annual connection check : A simple visual inspection can catch corrosion or loose connections before a fault occurs.
  • Thermal check of drivers : An annual check helps confirm correct operation and prevent overheating.

If you notice flickering or colour shifts, replace the affected component immediately. This helps prevent cascading failures and ensures grow lighting that reliably lights a green wall without interruption.

Low energy consumption and long life for illuminated green walls

LEDs provide 30,000 to 50,000 hours of use, representing more than ten years of continuous service for green walls. This longevity reduces replacement frequency and costs, while maintaining a consistent appearance for your preserved-plant installations.

With energy consumption around 30% lower than halogen lamps, you can save on electricity while reducing your carbon footprint. This responsible lighting solution is ideal for enhancing your preserved green wall while staying within budget.

Frequently asked questions

What type of lighting should you choose for a preserved green wall?

To showcase a preserved green wall indoors, choose neutral 4,000 K horticultural LED lighting. Choose a colour rendering index above 80 and a power of around 8–12 W/m². Installed on a modular track, this system distributes light evenly, generates very little heat and enhances preserved moss while adapting easily to future changes to green walls or other preserved-plant installations.
