I recommend a new subforum called "Artificial Lighting"

[Tindomul]

I think its a great idea. Everytime I want to set up a terrarium or something similar I have tons of questions on lighting. People all throughout the year have questions about watts, footcandles, lumens etc..... And then they have more questions about types of light bulbs, setups and more! So yea, I agree. It would be good to do this. In the past I always went to the experts (reef hobbiests) as well as orchid board to get an idea of what kind of lights to use.
