So, I think I want to get the light Charlinex used for his plants, but I'm not sure what to put it in. I see he hasn't been on the forum in some time so I'm not sure I can ask what he used. Sighing!

It's 15.5 watts and when I look at bendable desk lamps, they suggest 4-10 watts max for an LED light bulb.

I know Ursula uses a brooder light, but I'm not sure how to mount it on a pole of sorts (I only have a few plants so I don't want to use a shelf). I found this online which I think I could manage, but I think it would just be cheaper to buy a lamp of sorts?

Any thoughts? Thinking It would be on for 12 plus hours a day so it obviously needs to be able to handle being on for so long.
