Grow Lights Review

 

It took me forever (seems like it, anyway) to find grow lights that work for me. These fit the bill.

I bought these on Walmart and I'm happy I did. Started with one and added another as the number of plants increased. 

Currently I've got it on the setting for white and red spectrum at the brightest setting. I set it on a 9 hour timer so they come on at 8AM and go off at 6PM. 

There are 3 light settings. The following description comes directly from them company.

Full Spectrum

Stimulates plant growth and contributes to the synthesis of chlorophyll.

Red Spectrum

Efficiently boosts photosynthesis, stimulates flowering and fruiting.

Mixed Spectrum

Supports for better results the plant growth, flowering, and fruiting.

I went with the mixed spectrum because it seemed it covered everything. Again, I have the brightness set to 100%. A couple evenings when we were sitting in the family room enjoying the pond and the fireplace, I switched the color to red for the ambience. Really cool!

Here's some pictures of this light in action. 

These are the succulents sitting over my indoor pond. You can see the lights in action. To the left is a striped plant that has 2 of the lights shining on it. It goes outside again the late spring, but these lights are keeping it looking good during the winter.

As an unexpected bonus, I have one light shining directly on a plant in the pond and it is growing. First time I've gotten a water plant to grow inside.
