Grow lights for Orchids
Default Grow lights for Orchids

Hi Guys,

I am planning to buy some light that encourage growth to my orchids.

I have Vandas, Phals, Catts, Dend (all near by). And gramatophylum too (bit far from these)
All are in east terrace, no direct sunlight

Is a normal CFL/tube light bulbs work fine? Or do I need to buy a special grow light?.

Is the following one on ebay of any use?

168 RED LED BULB GROWLIGHT PLANT GROW LIGHT LMAP E27 | eBay UK

Its 168 RED LED BULB GROWLIGHT PLANT GROW LIGHT

Or
15w Blue Spectrum 6400k CFL grow light lamp bulb E27 UK
Is this fine?

Moved this thread to growing under lights, this is where all the lighting gurus congregate. Hopefully you will get a response.
