Default Can I use these lights for orchids???
Hello all,
I stopped by a local pet shop that was going out of business. They had a few aquarium lights for 80% off so I couldn't resist. I got:
one 40w T10 48" Flora-Glo 2,000k bulb 220 lux,
two 40w T10 48" Aqua-Glo 18,000k bulbs 130 lux,
one Coralife 14w T5 24" Colormax Full-Spectrum in 350 to 750 nanometer range,
and one Coralife 14w T5 24" 10,000k Daylight

Is there any pratical use for orchids with any of these lights? The sceince behind lights as it pertains to plant growth baffles me. Too many variables. Can you even use T10 lamps in T12/T8 fixtures? The investment wasn't large but I don't want them to go to waist. Thanks for your help in advance.
