Choosing a Grow Light

[E46M3]

Can you use the CFL and not hurt the chams eyes? Is it a certain type of bulb that is bad for their eyes? I remember reading a lot about that on here, but forgot what it was exactly that was bad???

I head about that to. So I guess that makes 2 of us that would like to know the answer to that.

Regular plant grow CLFs are safe. It is certain types of UVB CLFs that were a problem.

Geez, you guys never cease to amaze me with all of your information. Just to clear things up for me, this grow bulb is NOT replacing the uvb fluorescent bulbs for the reptile but instead are offered in addition too the uvb reptile lamps as a way to help the plants grow?

Wait 6500K is equal to 6500 lumens right?

No, the k designates kelvin, which is the color temperature of the light. Lumens are a measure of the power of light perceived by the human eye.
