Is that lumen per tube or for 2 tubes? No reflector? I think if you have 2 or more strips, they can be used to grow low growing orchids and placing the plants under 10" under light. For a larger plant, you need supplemental "side" light. I don't think tube light is powerful enough to penetrate too far away from the bulb.

Supplemental only, not the only source.

Sorry for the duplicate.🤐

you could always make DIY reflectors from round white plastic guttering and a bit of wood or something similar.

If you have a t8 shop light, you can use these LED tube too...2100 lumen per tube. 4200 for a single 2 tube strip.

If I use a reflector I'll get mylar film from the local hydroponics shop. There is so much money in growing cannabis it is probably a good idea to do what they do.

I have some mylar. But not from growing weed.

This was my ultimate decision. I can always add a redder tube to the mix.
