Plant-Growing Lights?

[Swayne8998]

Hello, I was just curious as to what lights some of you guys use in your enclosures to keep your plants thriving, and if you could give me a general cost of your fixup. Thanks

I use 24" Odyssea Quad T5 fixtures with three 6500K bulbs and one Zoo Med 10.0 T5 UVB bulb. The fixture was $72 and the bulb w/shipping was around $20. I order more supplies than just the bulb, so the shipping is worth it. I've been very pleased with this setup. I have pothos, a variegated hibiscus, tillandsia, and orchids doing well.

6500k bulbs are what you want to grow lights. Or Todd's jungle dawn LEDs.

Just curious, what wattages does anyone use for their 6500k lights?
