I bought one of those same lights and I'm hoping to get it set up today. Wish I had space to have more than one though.

where there's a will, there's a way...

Very nice. I'm really contemplating on getting a little setup next winter, but knowing me I will keep pushing it off, but if this year I keep buying wimpy plants that don't like to temps below 50F I may just have too;). If we all only lived in 10b. Our zone is warm, but Dec and Jan the nights do get chilly, but I have noticed the nights warming up a bit here. No more 30's. At least so far;).

Are you going to keep your plants inside all year round or just use the lights during the coldest month?

I too have the same lights..I LOVE them and they do a great job for my plants as long as they are at least 6 inches above or lower..

pluto, this is why I have fluorescent in the kitchen, not to disparage those who use the multi-color lights. I wonder if they'll have something normal color to the eyes in the future. The LEDs would probably be great for longer term cost savings. Nobody has commented on my thread yet, but maybe nobody has an opinion on using grow lights supplementally. (I made up a word.)

Which thread (yours) are you referring to? - could you link to it?

Rina, certainly, [here is the post[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/could-i-get-advice-for-supplemental-grow-lights-for-my-kitchen-dsvw-vd~5074203).

...this is what I am getting:

Jeff - I get the same error. I even went to your profile, then clicked on your posts and I only see 3 threads started by you, none about lighting?

Kara, they hopefully get to go back outside in March or April. I moved into a new apartment that has a terrible porch and leaves me a bit in a bind.

Mike, I'll keep that height in mind. Didn't want to burn any right now in the transition, they weren't getting a lot of light before.

As far as the cringy light goes... I will be at school/work most the time when they are on. The first day I was scared of them getting burned so I watched them a lot and everything was green... trippy. Taking me back to rave days.

Gabby, I have an OT question, but you're one of the one's that can answer my question:). Since we live in the same hardiness zone, but different parts of the country. Hardiness zone 9b lows are 25F-30F, but do you ever get that low? Usually where I live the average low will be around 35F. Every once in a blue moon the temp will get as low as 25F-30F, but that's very rare.

Do your temps consistently get to down 25F-30F or is it more like what I explained?

Oh yeah, I can't believe the nice full and tight growth I get too. The ones I have close to 6 inches don't burn at all, and that is even after taking them out from a box of darkness from shipment the day after. They don't throw off much heat or any at all. And Pluto is right, I turn mine off too to be able to water or I would get a headache. I think these lights mimic the 'real sun' as close a possible, and if not, there is no explanation other than that to explain such great growth, better that any other light I have ever used..

Kara... It does drop to the low 30's and 20's here, in central tx, but only for a day or two and usually just a few times a year. Last year it didn't freeze at all, but this year we have our second big cold front coming through tonight and it's projected to reach 28.

I bought another light today. I want to get my gasterias under too! Inconsistent light/stress is making their leaves grow funny.

Greetings, new to the world of succulent growing and also went ahead and ordered a LED setup. I chose 4 of these white lights instead of the pink stuff. Can't wait for them to be delivered! https://horticulturelightinggroup.com/collections/lamps/products/hlg-40

I've had good results with the pink lights in the past growing tomatoes and chili plants, but I feel that they run a bit too hot, oh and headaches and green vision isn't good either.
