			The grow light provides light equivalent to 80% of solar intensity at earth distance to crops within its illumination pattern. Although multiple overlapping grow lights don't stack their effects, the effect of a grow light stacks with solar illumination, making the use of a greenhouse potentially worthwhile.

	~~Illumination Radius is at its maximum 2-4 '''<big>small grids</big>''' away which coincides with '''<big>one large grid size</big>''', so ceiling~~ mounting has ~~'''the best~~ coverage of ~~41'''~~, ~~against 37~~ of wall mounting.		Ceiling mounting has a nominal coverage of 56 tiles, compared to 48 of wall mounting.
	~~However this creates difficulty for~~ [[~~LArRE~~]] or [[~~Harvie~~]] ~~as those can only be mounted on ceiling~~. When either is expected to be used, wall mounting is more flexible then ceiling mounting. Note that Harvie requires space ~~to either side of~~ for chutes, so it can only harvest from trays with some separation between them; a Hydroponics LArRE does not have this limitation.
			The presence of the light (and associated wiring) interferes with [[Harvie]] and [[LArRE]] placement. When either is expected to be used, wall mounting is more flexible then ceiling mounting. Note that Harvie requires space in two horizontal sides for chutes, so it can only harvest from trays with some separation between them; a Hydroponics LArRE does not have this limitation. It can also only be placed in a top-down arrangement, whereas LArRE can have stations interact with trays in any direction. Advanced builds can use this to stack up to 3 layers of trays on a single grow light while still retaining LArRE coverage for all plants.

			If harvest is not needed (such as with ferns being used for oxygen production), trays can be placed so as to cover all available tiles within a tray. This allows up to 332 (876-4) trays to be illuminated by a single grow light.
