Artificial Lighting

[Becca]

Well I did a search on T4 bulbs and found them for sale, but not really much info, maybe I just missed something. Anyways, so the higher the k number such as 10,000k is more blue, and more blue means light that is similar or like shade? I just wanted to make sure I understood that correctly, it is kind of confusing. I have a bunch of seedlings under these two lamps, such as dendrobiums, and catts and they all have new growths that are taking off like crazy. I thought they needed more light, wouldn't a blue lamp like this which imitates shade lighting not be great for them? I will have to measure my bulbs and see what I can replace them with. Perhaps I should email the manufacture of the table again and get some better specs since these lights came with the table! I hope they didn't do something wacky like make it so only certain bulbs will fit into the fixture making so I have to buy the lights from them!
