Here are some led options from Amazon that i use and like. These are white/sun-like instead of the ubiquitous blue/purple lights.

--This one's a panel-- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07T28YHTY?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

--This one's a gooseneck-- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FM4X64W?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

--A bulb i haven't tried but plan to buy next-- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NN6SVG6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_4p93Db3D0KKDZ

An Amazon search for led grow lights will turn up tons of great options. Read the reviews and go from there. Good luck!

Going to second this! I grow my monstera exclusively with grow lights and it currently has 6 new leafs coming in.

I use this one because it can go in any lamp but there's many options

u/ohmyplanty · 3 pointsr/houseplants

The one on the right is this GE bulb which is super heavy and expensive-ish but it’s doing its job. I have like ten of these ones that are cheaper for the rest of my apartment.

u/traciglenn · 3 pointsr/houseplants

Thanks so much! It's these ones: GE Lighting 93101230 9-Watt BR30 LED Grow Light Bulb for Indoor Plants, Balanced Full Spectrum https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NN6SVG6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_t3ELDbT351RM8
It looks like they are sold out at the moment but I got mine from Target at the same price (:

They have a more powerful one called PAR38, but the ones I got are already pretty bright so I think they are best so smaller spaces. Although it is worth mentioning that I got three of the BR30's because I put them in my existing fixture in the bathroom (:

u/Blueberry_Yum_Yum · 3 pointsr/IndoorGarden

At 8ft high, the light would do very little to help the plants achieve growth. Try to get a smaller lamp, preferably with a scissor arm and buy one of these. I have a 2' bird of paradise in my bedroom that has eastern facing windows and use that to supplement it later in the day when there isn't enough natural sunlight. Hope this helps.

u/goldphishe · 3 pointsr/IndoorGarden

Thanks! This is the light I’m using.

I’ve only had my office garden for about 3 weeks (I have a bunch at home but this is my first work garden). So these plants are all straight from the grower.

u/madtoebeans · 3 pointsr/houseplants

Yes! They pretty much all fit any lamp that could feasibly fit a flood light, so most desk lamps will do the trick. I use IKEA Ranarp lamps because aesthetic and they aren’t too expensive and come in different sizes and colors. I also troll Facebook Marketplace for vintage lamps of a similar style, because again, aesthetic

As far as bulbs go, I’ve been using the standard GE grow lights that you can get just about anywhere that sells lightbulbs (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NN6SVG6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_QxujDb0276PFA). They’re a little too pink hued for my liking even though they claim to be full spectrum, so I’m trying out a Phillips bulb (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JBPYBNS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_bzujDbNBYPPT9), but I just got it so I can’t attest to whether or not it’s worth the extra ~$10. So far it looks way brighter and way whiter (no color hue that I can tell), so I’ve got it on a croton that hasn’t had new growth for a while so I think that will be a fair test, lol.

I hope this helps!

u/Kamilo889 · 2 pointsr/indoorgardening

you know ... i have the same problem, although i don't like the typical red purple ones. checking a youtuber (summer rayne) i fell in love with the GE ones.

u/th3worldonfir3 · 2 pointsr/CozyPlaces

So I bought this strip for my office at work, it's been there for a little over a week now. Plants seem to be happy. The red & blue can be hard to made to look intentional though, but if you do it right it can look nice. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DK6M6X6?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

And then this bulb I put in the lamp on my desk, and the philodendron sitting under it is thriving. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NN6SVG6?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

What I haven't been able to find is like a set of string lights much like the G40s you have there, but made for plant growth. I'm wondering if I should patent the idea lol

u/dillishis · 2 pointsr/GrowingMarijuana

Are either of these grow lights sufficient enough? It’s what I have at the moment.

This one and I have this one as well if anyone can provide any input.

u/northraxredux · 1 pointr/houseplants

My Monstera perked up even more throughout the day today, so I remain hopeful for both of our battered plants!

I'm still figuring out grow lights myself so I don't think I'm the best person to ask for recommendations. I've tried to "research" it on YouTube but the best videos on grow lights don't focus on household/LED use, the videos are definitely more for folks growing pot (which is cool, no hate, but they're talking about different types of lights, different scale production etc.). So I can show you what I bought that's been working but I'm far from an expert.

If you have a spare lamp, you can use this guy, this is what I have right now that I screwed into an old cheapo adjustable-neck desk lamp from Target: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NN6SVG6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It is not an attractive setup but my crown of thorns, Euphorbia trigona, Albuca spiralis, and my succulent bowl are all doing well under it. My succulent bowl has calico hearts, an elephant food plant, an Echeveria elegans, a blue barrel cactus, and a goat's horn cactus. So yeah they're all doing pretty well at the moment despite the average temperature in my house dropping 10 degrees over the past 6 weeks.

I just bought this and it arrives tomorrow. There are options that have built-in timers but I already had a couple of Ikea light timers floating around so I'm using those (and I 1000% recommend a timer so you don't even have to think about it--my light turns on before I get up and turns off before I get home from work, shit's mad convenient): https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Q8GMRWB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I tried to find a clip-on grow light like that made in USA (or at least not in China) but I wasn't able to find one. (I've been trying to reduce the number of products I buy made in China in support of the protests in HK/in protest of the Uighur imprisonments.. not that anyone will notice though!) Turns out American-made grow lights are out of my price range at the moment, and mainly of such a size they're clearly for commercial operations. When I'm earning more and buy a house in the next couple of years I'd like to treat myself to a couple shop-style lights though. That would be cool

Reddit seems to have a particular hangup with calathea but so far mine have been behaving.
I get fairly good light in my apartment but being in the Northeast I wanted to supplement for winter. I actually just use a balanced spectrum grow bulb in a hanging lamp I built with parts from Amazon. I didn't like the look of anything so made my own.

My apartment has pretty terrible lighting and with fall/winter coming on strong in the Boston area, I decided to put together a little home gardening station to help with lighting and movement of the plants for watering. I went into this with the goal of having my setup accommodate most of my small collection of plants and to allow for easy movement without having to mess with the grow lights. In the end, I decided on a cart-based design composed of the following items:

The purple/red and blue lights hurt your eyes so bad after awhile. I would def recommend getting the lights that appear white so your eyes don’t burn off your face. I have the GE grow lights. They have it available on Amazon, but I actually found mine at my local Target. https://www.amazon.com/GE-Lighting-93101230-Horticultural-Balanced/dp/B07NN6SVG6
