The weather went cold early and I was not ready to turn on central heating.
I set the light up last night as an experiment.
I set the heat lamp about 30 inches above my non-Phal orchids.
I stayed up to see how much the temps would rise and it was 69 to 70 degrees at the level of the media but warmer at the leaf level --Like you said ES.
The room temp was 62.
I like the idea of putting the lamp underneath since the table is aluminium with a towel over it.
That will be the experiment tonight.
I think that ultimately I will get a seedling heat mat for overnight.
