I Ken, thank you, I was thinking about posting a question about lighting but don't even know the names of the different types of bulbs and fixtures. What do people use, that is, when the large fixture (the one Elaine uses) is not effective [2 hours of sunshine in at least 3 weeks].
I have a plant table (that seems to be its brand name ) and the lower shelf has a fixture with two "18 watt plant spectrum compact fluorescent tubes". These are now burnt out and I wasn't using the lower shelf for plants, but I need to replace it now and wondered if
1. A different make or type of bulb could be used (as long as the size is right, of course).
2. Is this the best available, practical for indoor use, artificial light available? I don't want to burn the plants!
3 . Has anyone used the Wonderlight wide spectrum light, which come in 100 and 300 watts. I don't know whether it is incandescent or fluorescent.
4. Any recommendations for artificial lights that can be used indoors and that won't use a huge amount of electricity?
