AeroGarden Replacement Light: Which Bulb or LED Hood Fits Your Model?

Your garden’s light has gone dark, flickers, or cracked, and you want an AeroGarden replacement light that fits. The catch is that the light is not one part. Older gardens take fluorescent bulbs with their own part numbers. Newer ones carry LED hoods, panels or tops that are specific to a model. A wrong order costs money and a week of waiting.

The short answer: for the bulb-era gardens, the part numbers below are documented. For most LED gardens, we found no ordering number for a replacement hood or panel. We also did not establish that AeroGarden currently sells an official replacement for any model in the chart. Below, find your model, read the chart, then see what can still be bought.

Find Your Model First

Identify the complete garden model and generation before choosing a light. AeroGarden’s manual index separates legacy models from later generations, and a family name, planting capacity or similar-looking hood does not make two gardens interchangeable (AeroGarden: all product manuals). Keep the garden’s model number apart from any replacement-part number, because the two can look alike. The 6 Elite+ manual prints the garden identifier 100633-DSS, while 100633 is also the bulb family number for the Deluxe lamp (6 Elite+ guide).

According to the Scotts AeroGarden FAQ, the model and serial label is on the base underneath the water bowl. Reaching it means disconnecting the pump and power connections and lifting the bowl aside (Scotts: AeroGarden FAQ). Our own advice, not a Scotts instruction: write down the full identifier, including any suffix.

If the label is gone, some visual cues help narrow it down. Per Scotts’ pages, the current Sprout has three planting positions and a thin hood, the Harvest XL has six positions and a taller adjustment, and the Farm family has two separately controlled growing sides (Sprout, Harvest XL, Farm setup guide). Those cues narrow the family. They do not authorize ordering a part.

AeroGarden Replacement Light: The Fit Chart

Unless a row says otherwise, we did not find a current official AeroGarden replacement offer for these parts as of November 3, 2026. “Not listed” here means we saw no entry, not that the part is officially discontinued (accessories catalog, grow-light catalog).

Model or family	Light	Part number	Limits on fit
PRO100	Two replaceable bulbs	100629 (North America), 200629 (Europe/Australia)	Regional interchangeability not established (PRO100 guide)
Space•Saver 6 / 6 Elite	Two replaceable Deluxe B bulbs	100340 (North America), 200340 (Europe/Australia)	“Deluxe B” is not the Deluxe garden’s lamp (guide)
AeroGarden 6 (CFL)	Two replaceable fluorescent bulbs	100340	Says nothing about a 6 LED garden (guide)
Deluxe and older three-light gardens	Type A fluorescent family	100633 (200633 for international Deluxe)	A seller excludes ULTRA and newer Miracle-Gro EXTRA (Deluxe guide, seller)
Newer EXTRA / ULTRA (CFL)	A seller lists a Type B family	Seller cites 100340 / 100629	Seller-only evidence; keep its model limits (listing)
Older Bounty / Bounty Elite	Detachable 45W LED hood	Ordering number not found	Later Bounty specs are separate (guide)
2019 Bounty Basic (100911)	Detachable 30W LED hood	Ordering number not found	Scotts says the hood works only with the Basic base (guide, FAQ)
Farm family	Suspended LED panels; the upper top is a separate assembly	Panel and top numbers not found	Know which component failed (Farm guide)
Standalone overhead light	45W panel with its own support and power supply	970945-0100	A standalone fixture, not established as a drop-in hood (AeroGarden listing)

A specialist retailer says outright that 100340 replaces 100629. That is retailer evidence, not a manufacturer statement covering every garden with a similar socket (Lightbulbs.com).

More models, one source each

These rows rest on one source apiece, so treat them as leads and check your own manual.

Model or family	What that source says
Legacy AeroGarden 3 / 3 Elite	One bulb; 100340 in North America, 200340 in Europe/Australia (manufacturer guide)
3SL	A seller lists a 100340-compatible replacement (seller listing)
6 Elite+	Three Deluxe bulbs; 100633 / 200633 (guide)
AeroGarden 7 (CFL)	Two bulbs; 100340. This does not cover a 7 LED (guide)
Harvest XL	25W LED hood; fit with the standard Harvest not established (AeroGarden listing)
Harvest 2.0 / Lite	15W detachable LED light; fit with earlier Harvests not established (AeroGarden listing)
2019 Bounty and Bounty Elite (100912 / 100913)	40W and 50W detachable LED hoods; ordering numbers not found (Bounty guide, Elite guide)
Earlier Harvest / Elite / Plus (100641, 100647, 100643)	LED hood or panel; replacement number not found (guide)
Sprout CFL and Sprout LED	An earlier guide separates a CFL bulb (100340) from an LED hood and base assembly; no CFL-to-LED conversion is established (earlier guide)

Equal wattage does not mean shared parts. Scotts describes the Farm 12 as 60W, and a retailer lists the 12XL as 60W, but neither page says the panels are the same (Scotts: apartment gardening guide, Woot listing).

Bulb Gardens, Part Numbers and Packs

Keep 100340 / 100629 separate from 100633. The manufacturer guides establish the original lamp numbers, and sellers add cross-references and exclusions. Neither pod count nor the word “Extra” alone tells you which family you have (PRO100 guide, Deluxe guide).

Specifications and packs. Lightbulbs.com describes 100340 as a 26W, two-pin, triple-tube fluorescent lamp, and Think Crucial describes its compatible product as 26W with a G23 base. Those are seller specifications. We found nothing showing every generic lamp with those traits is suitable, and nothing comparing growing performance or ballast compatibility (Lightbulbs.com, Think Crucial).

Package numbers seen on seller pages are aftermarket cross-references, not recovered AeroGarden package specifications: 9210-00Z on a Walmart PRO200 Deluxe-bulb three-pack, 970924-0208 on a LawnPartsMan listing of three 100633 lamps, and 970914-0208 among the numbers a Think Crucial page cross-references (Walmart, LawnPartsMan, Think Crucial).

Before you replace it. AeroGarden’s troubleshooting steps are to check the bulb seating, the hood-cord connection, and a working outlet. The documented pin-base bulbs go in straight, without twisting (troubleshooting sheet, AeroGarden 6 instructions). We found no validated manufacturer test that separates a failed bulb from a failed ballast, so we give no meter procedure.

How often. The legacy recommendation is to replace bulbs after about six months of use, even if they still light (Classic replacement instructions). The 6 Elite+ timer stops while unplugged, so the interval counts use, not months on a shelf (6 Elite+ guide). The reminder reset differs by model: the legacy AeroGarden 3 guide gives about three seconds for routine replacement and about nine for early replacement, and the 6 Elite+ uses a different sequence. Follow your own manual (AeroGarden 3 guide).

LED Hoods and Panels: What the Evidence Does Not Show

We found no manufacturer-backed ordering matrix for LED hoods or panels. A detachable assembly shows that the maker designed it to be serviced, not that it fits another model. So do not swap among Harvest generations, Bounty variants, Ultra or Farm editions on the strength of a similar look (manual index).

What is documented is narrow. Scotts restricts the Bounty Basic hood to the Basic base and says to match the model names on the hood and controls. Older Bounty / Bounty Elite documentation specifies 45W, and the documented 2019 Basic specifies 30W at 24V DC, 1.5A (Scotts FAQ, older Bounty guide, Basic guide). On the Farm, the Top A and the suspended LED Light C are separate parts joined by cords, so a report about a replacement top says nothing about a replacement panel (Farm setup guide).

Power supplies. According to the manufacturer guides, Harvest (100690, 100692, 100694) and Harvest Elite (100691, 100693, 100695) gardens are rated 12V DC, 2.5A, and Bounty 100912 and Bounty Elite 100913 are 24V DC, 2.0A (Harvest guide, Harvest Elite guide, Bounty guide, Bounty Elite guide). Those ratings belong to the gardens, not to bare LED boards. The earlier Harvest, Elite and Plus guide gives 120V AC ratings, so “replace the Harvest’s 12V adapter” is not universal advice (earlier Harvest guide). We found no connector dimensions or polarity.

Before you buy a hood, check settings. Scotts’ checks vary by model: refill and reset a Sprout; reconnect Harvest power, try another outlet and tap Sun; check Bounty Vacation Mode and hood and post seating; check the Farm’s light-cord ends and its Sunrise and Sunset settings if it flickers (Scotts FAQ). The Bounty Elite guide describes intentional dimming and gradual light changes, and the Harvest Elite guide gives crop schedules from 15.5 hours for flowers to 17 hours for herbs. Odd-looking light can be a setting (Bounty Elite guide, Harvest Elite guide).

For the oldest gardens, a manufacturer sheet dated June 3, 2008 describes replacing the hood on a Classic, Deluxe, PRO100 or PRO200: unplug, remove the bowl, disconnect the lamp cord, cool and remove the bulbs, release the locking tab or ring, fit the new hood and reassemble. Its number, 300417AA, identifies the instruction sheet, not a hood you can order (replacement sheet).

Can You Still Buy One?

The official catalogs we reviewed showed no current model-by-model replacement-hood range. That cannot prove every hood is discontinued. AeroGarden’s clearance page says “once they sell out, they won’t be restocked!” That concerns clearance stock, not every unlisted service part. Scotts’ help-center chat is the support route (clearance page, help center).

What the pages displayed on November 3, 2026 (page observations, not checkout confirmations):

Offer	Displayed	Note
Lightbulbs.com, 100340	$44.99, listed in stock	Confirm the quantity shipped (listing)
Think Crucial compatible four-pack	$59.49, sold out	An unavailable offer is not a price floor (listing)
Walmart PRO200 three-pack, 9210-00Z	$49.99	Delivery wording looked stale; fulfillment uncertain (listing)
AeroGarden standalone panel 970945-0100	$48.01, Add to Cart shown	Promotional page evidence, not drop-in fitment (listing)
AeroGarden Sprout (complete garden)	$29.97	A whole smaller garden, not a hood for a larger one (listing)

Other seller observations differ by package, so they are not contradictions. Think Crucial’s collection page showed an available three-pack at $52.99, RetailMarket listed a compatible two-pack at $51.49, and LawnPartsMan displayed $25.99 for three 100633 bulbs (Think Crucial, RetailMarket, LawnPartsMan). Home Depot displayed $134.59 for panel 970945-0200, a different suffix from the 970945-0100 direct offer, so those two are not an exact-SKU price comparison (Home Depot).

When No Replacement Exists

A separate light over the reservoir. Owners report keeping their reservoirs and putting an independently powered overhead light above them. Those reports establish the workaround, not that it works with the original timer. The older Bounty instructions prohibit connecting that hood to another power source, so an independent fixture means its own supply and the original hood stays out of it (owner discussion, Bounty guide).

For distance and hours, keep each source in its own scope. University of Minnesota Extension gives hydroponic lettuce and herbs 6 to 12 inches from light to plants and 12 to 14 light hours a day, and separately gives seedlings 4 to 6 inches and 16 to 18 hours (UMN Extension: lighting for indoor plants). AeroGarden’s standalone 20W E26 instructions give 6 to 8 inches during germination, then closer as plants grow (20W instructions). Those figures are not settings certified for another fixture. Advertised watts alone do not establish equal growing performance.

A donor unit. Owners describe getting spare panels and Farm tops from used sources. A donor has to match the actual component and generation, and those posts give no interchangeability list (spare-panel report, Farm-top report).

The warranty. The current policy, effective September 30, 2025, generally gives qualifying gardens one year of limited coverage, subject to its conditions. It excludes seed kits and accessories from the covered-product definition and sets original-purchaser and authorized-seller conditions, so a bulb bought separately does not automatically inherit the garden’s coverage. Repair, replacement or refund is not a promise of an identical obsolete hood (AeroGarden: limited warranty).

A new garden. The displayed $29.97 Sprout buys a smaller complete garden. It does not restore another model’s capacity.

Safety Before You Swap

The older Bounty guide states: “Any servicing is to be performed by an authorized service representative.” It also says: “Use only AeroGarden LED Light Hood replacement.” Those lines support an approved assembly swap, not opening the LED electronics (Bounty guide). The later Harvest safety text says to disconnect power before servicing or replacing lights (Harvest safety document). We did not find a universal “do not open the hood” warning, so we do not quote one.

Matching looks, nominal wattage or a plug that goes in does not establish compatibility. Keep the specified garden, region, power arrangement and approved connection. Power-supply maker Phihong tells users to check connector, polarity, output voltage and output current against the equipment, and warns about wrong or forced plugs. The recovered document is in English, although its file name says Spanish (Phihong safety instructions).

An owner described adapting the sockets for ordinary CFL or LED bulbs. That is one person’s experiment, not approved fitment or verified light output (owner adapter report). We give no rewiring or board-repair steps.

Fluorescent bulbs contain mercury. The EPA recommends recycling them and checking local disposal rules. For a breakage, its initial guidance includes airing the room for 5 to 10 minutes and not vacuuming at first. Read the full steps before you clean up (EPA: recycling and disposal, EPA: cleaning a broken CFL).

What to Do Next

Read the label under the bowl, find your row in the chart, and order only a part your own manual or a named source ties to your model. If your garden has an LED hood and the chart says “not found,” contact Scotts support before ordering anything. For related guides, visit the Smart & Indoor Gardens hub.
