Translation Of LED Fluorescence Lights

[ALToronto]

Two t8 tubes are maybe 40W total. For $120 from Sunway, you're likely getting over 100 W. Check out their 10-20 W lights, they're very reasonably priced. And contact them by email to see what they can do for you in terms of shipping.

But, your price for T8's is quite good. If these lights are adequate for your plants and setup, go for it.

You have been so kind to me thank you!

You have the patients of Job.

It is sinking in. I am a bit slow to learn but when I get it, it stays forever!

Nice to be able to do a quality search now I have that the watt is all important. That was the bit I was missing.

It is surprising how hot a Cree LED 240v 22w T8 light tube fluorescent 120cm Cool Warm White gets.

Batten came with no lead or power plug and had to return a faulty tube so the cost got a whole lot bigger.

My orchids have been under lights for 3 days now and looking good.

All the flask orchids that I took out of the flask have survived but the mature orchids out of a flask as the way they arrived, I have lost 5 out of 13 and 2 are looking very sad.

Two weeks later and the temperature inside the aquarium is nice and warm for the orchids. Putting aquarium heaters in the coffee jars has worked out really well.

Can see some growth but have to water every week.

Still waiting for my 2nd LED T8 fluro to arrive in the mail.

Have the seedling orchids about 150mm or 6" from the light now. Hoping to get the 2nd tube as it is time to move the orchids closer to the light again but adding a 2nd light is something I would prefer to do than to move the orchids closer to the light.

Sure have learnt alot....95% observation & 5% action.

Could not have done it without lots of help!
