I've wanted to make some lighting for my ferns and have been reading around looking for a simple solution. So far I've purchased one of the Philips warm white LED bulbs, 9.5W 800 lumens 2700K
Now I came to this conclusion from reading around and particularly this article.

If I understand everything correctly then these ferns would do well with the light spectrum closer to the red side, hence the 2700K bulb.
What I'm not sure of is if this bulb is actually effective since the LEDs are behind a cover.
I'm basically trying to ensure my ferns get sufficient light everyday regardless of weather conditions because where I live the indirect light needed isn't always available.
Any suggestions?
