These lights have a vegetative coverage of 2 x 2 feet. This can also create problems with plant development, but balancing the number of red and blue tubes should correct the following problems:T5 HO tubes are available that produce colour values based on the Kelvin scale (K). Tubes with a 4000K value tend to produce light with a reddish tone, while those with a value of 7500K produce bluish light. If using fluorescent tubes to grow flowering plants, a combination of red and blue tubes will provide the best light for growth and flowering. This is hands down the best present we received when our baby was born. We had never heard of it before we got ours. The first few weeks of baby being here we used phone lights/bedside lamp and it was bright and would wake us all up but when he got the Gro Light it was a game changer.

Plants from naturally low-light habitats, such as ferns and many of the smaller tropical foliage houseplants that in nature inhabit shady forest floors, can be kept healthy long-term under simple artificial lighting. Use an aquarium tank as a terrarium for these plants and position the T5 HO lights in the hood. Not only will this provide a decorative focus in a room but the terrarium will help retain the high humidity which these plants love.

LEDs emit less heat than incandescent bulbs and can last up to 30 times longer. “LED lights are my preferred go-to for lights, because they’re energy-efficient and generate little to no heat,” Johnson says.Wattage is a useful tool to determine the correct fixture for your plants. Generally, you need 32 watts per square foot, so most indoor plants (especially herbs) do just fine with a lower-watt light. The more important metric is PPFD, or photosynthetic photon flux density, which measures the specific light emission a lamp gives off. Not all products list this, however. Containing no toxic substances such as mercury LED lights are 100% recyclable - and all LED's are certified by the RoHS to ensure this.
