Reddit reviews Philips LED 420091 Energy Saver Compact Fluorescent T2 Twister (A19 Replacement) Household Light Bulb: 6500-Kelvin, 13-Watt (60-Watt Equivalent), E26 Medium Screw Base, Daylight Deluxe, 4-Pack

A few hours of east windowsill light won't be enough for succs who are used to full sun! I've heard people have success with this bulb, but I've never tried it myself so I can't speak from personal experience

I personally have a $12 grow light I bought from Walmart, and it's been working fantastically for me if you want to change routes

At the moment, I have these guys in my over-mirror bathroom fixture -- two 6500K LED light bulbs, 810 lumens each (1620 total). My understanding is this is still a little bright for makeup application, but the first bulbs I tried felt really dark for the bathroom.

I have several light options picked out for my new vanity setup, but I haven't managed to receive an unbroken mirror yet so that's still a work in progress. Hopefully before Christmas.

buy a lamp, clip on or stand, then use a 13w or 23w 6500k cfl bulb

You're very welcome! I'm using the Zoo Med 18" Naturalistic Terrarium Hood with these Philips CFL Daylight Bulbs

You could just get a full spectrum compact fluorescent clip light to supplement lighting. If youve already got a desk lamp laying around, just get a full spectrum bulb and aim it at your tank. You can probably find them in your local hardware store. Look for anything in the 6500k-7000k range (or get a 4 pack for $12 on amazon. ) Be aware that fluorescents do need to be replaced about every 6 months. They will still put off LIGHT (so you can still use them for spare lightbulbs around the house) but they will no longer put out the correct spectrum for plant growth after that time period.


this is cheap and claims to be 6500-7000k lights, which would be the appropriate spectrum, but I couldn't tell you how bright it's going to be, or what the par is.

I would probably buy an actual planted tank light or go with a fluorescent. That way you at least know what you're getting. You can get a stingray clip light for $22 or for about $40 you could get a 12" planted + and get up to med med/high light levels, depending on your tank depth.

Go with a known bulb. These are the ones I've used and they should do pretty well on a 12" 10 gallon. Here is the PAR data if you're interested.

These! You may be able to find them cheaper in a department store though.

There’s a whole lot of information on r/succulents These are the lights I use, and they work wonderfully. I do 12 hours on and 12 hours off.

Sorry if this might not be in the right sub.

But what is the simplest way to make a setup for indoor youtube vlog video.

I currently only have Sony NEX F-3. For a newbie, i think i am quite happy with the video and audio quality so far. The only thing lacking for now is probably lighting.

What do you recommend as the least minimum lighting setup?

I watch Peter Mckinnon previously and see him recommending Aperture 12D or something, but it is way over my budget (since i still need to buy lamp holder, diffuser, etc).

Some people recommend me to just use regular Philip lamp that looks like this in 45 watt. Do you think it might works?

I am not looking into professional setup or anything, this is mainly just for reviewing e-commerce product.

Thank you.

Yeah if you really want him to be happy I’ve heard great things from lots of people about these lights

I have a separate bowl that I dry start various carpet plants in, and I use a random lamp with these bulbs in it: http://www.amazon.com/Philips-823031-Twister-Daylight-Equivalent/dp/B00FK8VDBC?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00 I think these may be what /u/Gastropoid is using in the other comment

 

However with a tub of that size you might want to use 2 to make sure everything is covered.

i use these:
Philips 13w 6500k CFLs
And these clamp lights to house them:

I'd use a light like this

You don't need a grow light.

Just a BRIGHT WHITE light. 6500k color temp.

I went with a set of [these](Philips 823031 CFL Light Bulb 13W T2 Twister Daylight 6500K, 60 Watt Equivalent; 4-Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FK8VDBC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_CqkKybQ1ZFG75). Plants seem to be stoked in a northern winter.

These guys

Does something like this work?

EDIT: Also is there any reason you're recommending an 8.5" over the 5.5"? The lid I have for my aquarium has a lip that will barely fit a 5.5", and I don't think the 8.5" would fit. I want to lay them flat on the lid.
