Baja_Costero said:I have a light meter and did the same kinds of experiments, moving it about to see what numbers go where. I think whatever the unit you want to go by, the light intensity is going to be the same wherever your meter reads the same, or the whole process is pointless. So presumably you'd want to find out the ideal exposure range, maybe by testing different locations where plants do well, and then try to approximate that (at the given distance you intend your plants to live below the light).

@elgecko, did you play with a meter when you were figuring out the light to use for your Haworthias?

No I did not. I have no light meter.
I experimented with different lighting / bulbs and watched how the plants responded.
When I started out using artificial lighting I was growing carnivorous plants. Most CP's like as much light as you can give them.
I have not tried the Current LED's that I have for growing other succulents or cactus....well 2 Agave in tanks. I know Haworthias can tolerate lower light levels then most cactus, so I don't know if they are strong enough for cactus.

@Kaktus just curious what is the app you used on your phone?
