My cat keeps destroying my flower spikes--help!
Default

I looked around for a while until I found the right one. A long time....The lights did not come with it. They are just generic fluorescent lights...
Lights of America 24" Under Cabinet Light they are usually always $10.00 complete, I just drilled a couple small holes in inconspicuous areas big enough for two cords. I have T-8's in them at the moment...It came with 4 glass shelves, but I only use 3. That allows you to move them based on the plants that are in it. When my orchids would spike, I'd have to rearrange everything. The whole cabinet with 6 lights amount to 120watts of electricity....not too bad. You do have to have two lights a shelf or they don't get enough. I would imagine you could do some set up T-5 fixtures as long as you can keep them in the 24inch range. I don't do grow lights, I find one cool white, and one warm light a shelf do the trick. It even keeps my succulents alive (it's not ideal, but it gets them through winter). Plus, I really like the way it adds light into the room, and is a great display to look at. Good luck!
