The lady told me they didn't carry any plant lights at all.I said well i will just have to order another one.Currently i only have 1 plant light.I have just started growing succulents and they needed more light than i could provide inside.My other plants do fine hanging in & sitting around,in front of my bay window and just about every other spot in my house that gets sun. Lovey dubby

I was looking into plant lights or grow lights for the first time and finally found a grow light that is a t-8 i believe,it's a long tube shaped light in a fixture that i hung over the place i am keeping these new succulents.They seem to be doing ok,all are growing well the only one that's looking leggy is my Sedum 'Rubrotinctum' (pork & beans).I did order 2 of the lights to fit into lamps to place where i thought i needed a little more light.They haven't arrived & seems to be a problem with having to wait for them because they were out of stock.

I am new at this and was looking for advice and opinions I would like to thank you all for the info i have received so far.I'm trying to figure it all out now,still not sure about the difference or likeness of reptile lights & grow lights.Evidently my lowes doesn't have as big of a garden supply as others do.

Any other thought are still appreciated.Here's a picture of the only plant that's gotten leggy.

There are 2 different varieties in this pot and one seems to be getting more leggy than the other which seems to be holding it's compact shape better Shrug!
A green thumb comes only as a result of the mistakes you make while learning to see things from the plants point of view!!
