I have long been intrigued by the potential of LED lighting for plants. The first ones were combinations of red and blue LEDs, but while the plants may have grown well under them (search for Rob's comments), the appearance of the plants and flowers under them was like something from outer space! Newer technology has brought us white light, making them far more acceptable for use in the home.
I have just gotten in some 13W bulbs containing 64 LEDs having a color temperature in the range of 5700-6400°K, like a bright day outdoors. They screw into a standard "Edison" (incandescent bulb) fixture, and are 7.75" in total length, including the base. The light emitting array is 5.125" x 1.125", and is protected by a clear plastic lens to prevent issues with
misting or splashing of water. The base has some rotational ability, so there is room for adjustment once it is screwed into the socket.
I only have a limited number for testing, so if you'd like to join in, please check out our retail store.
AND... if you use the coupon code "LED" at checkout, I'll knock $10 off of the price.
