Something like that would be really nice on a stand if you can't mount a spotlight to the ceiling, also there are LED ones available with flexible attachments so you can alter the direction of the 3 lamps.

CFL would be the best value for money power wise, but an LED would look nicer, budget wise? go for a LED yard spotlight, if you want to spend a bit more go for a fan cooled CREE cob light.

Wow the nicrew one even has a controller... consider me sold.

Right i'm going to ask the question no one wants to ask... Recommendations on bottom of the barrel LED luminaire and clip ons in a nice spectrum that aren't overly blurple? anyone? i mean ive used 30w LED floodlights in 6500k to great effect, but they don't exactly look great and aren't easy to...

Ok so i have been doing some reading... The equation works well for older t8's,t5's and metal halides, but not so sure about LED lighting, also it says blue light is wholly underepresented in the calculation as a LUX meter will register more towards light in the 500-700nm range than the sub...

Wondering how accurate these conversion charts in the different kelvin ratings and with different bulbs are as obviously a lux meter is quite substantially cheaper than a PAR meter. Any input valued and appreciated. Gus.

Anything i've had by arcadia has been pretty good to be fair to them. Here is another thread that might help a bit. https://www.ukaps.org/forum/threads/t5-to-led-conversion.31530/

If you can find replacement bulbs for the T8's then use what you are happy with i would say, if not then consider upgrading to T5's, you can fit them yourself the ballasts usually come with bulb holder fittings, i've started using LED's myself and i wouldn't go back, they cost a lot less to run. :)

I'm in completely the same boat @TBRO i had a very long break, hadn't posted since 2011 before coming back, glad to see you back here aswell mate! :D :thumbup: As far as the shimmer/ripple effect goes, i have a 30W LED floodlight off amazon and it gives the effect, just the colour spectrum...

Most stuff will die off fairly quickly due to lack of light, barring crypts, echinodorus, java ferns, mosses, and easy carpeting plants like dwarf sag and marsilea, other plants will gradually just melt or die back in order of light demand.

This is how i grow most of my plants if i am honest... survival of the fittest not necessarily the prettiest. :facepalm:

When i put on my tighties instead of my boxers it definitely results in some BBA around the edges.... :lol::lol:

Nothing better than getting home from a full days work and seeing new roots and shoots. :)
