Reddit mentions of SANSI 15W LED Grow Light Bulb, Daylight White Full Spectrum Grow Lights for Indoor Plants, LED Plant Light Bulbs for Indoor Garden Houseplants, Commercial Hydroponic Horticulture, E26 A21 120V

Grow lights are expensive and intimidating and can be uglayyy!! I didn’t want all my plants shoved in a corner under some shop lights so I got this Sansi bulb and put it in a cute lamp and foliage plants have been thriving

For my succulents I use philips 100W CFL bulbs, make sure they are 1600 lumens and 6500K!

I was the same way. I had no idea which to get, so I bought the blue/red light bars and they didn’t do anything for my plants. I ended up going with a full spectrum LED. My plants are thriving now.

I have mine 6” below this growlight for 16 hours a day.

Check out Sansi lights:

The link is to their 15W light which is fine for a little extra boost. I have 15, 30, and 40 watt bulbs and they all work amazingly. My plants love them and its finally brought out the variegation in my marble queen pothos.

You'll notice that higher than 15W is a considerably bigger bulb so you will need to take that into account when buying a lamp for them. The reasons i like Sansi:

• Full spectrum so it won't turn your room into a night club
  
• Heatsink on the bulb works VERY well so it can sit in a desk lamp above your plant with 0 risk of burning the leaves with heat.
  
• LED so the cost is upfront in purchasing. It will use less power than some other non-LED lights
  
  Downsides:
  
  
• The larger bulbs will like stick out a little from a normal-size desk lamp, meaning you can see the bulb from the side if you look at it. I would recommend a lamp with a shade where the bulb points down, or you can DIY a small shade extension onto the lamp to hide it.
  
• Made in china if that matters to you

I would go for a daylight LED plant light that focuses the light downwards. Still might have to be closer to the plants than what your existing light fixture is located though.

Maybe something like this one?

Thanks man!

Holy shit some of these cheap bulbs I've been testing are dangerous. I wired one up to the line voltage with reverse polarity, a common problem that its encountered in homes, insulated myself from ground and touched the fixture, and some of the LEDs still lit up. I then tested the exposed line voltage parts for isolation and had the power supply blow on me (sparks and all).

Although there may be better options, the following bulb passed all of my safety checks:

I just purchased two Phalaenopsis philippinensis and I'm already in love with them. I want to test out if growing them under LED lights would be good for them.

I currently have one Sansi 15W LED Grow Light placed about 2 feet away from both plants. The light is scheduled to be on as the sun rises and off as the sun sets, so the time under the lights will change along with the seasons. At the current sunrise and sunset times here in Boston, they will be getting 10 hours of LED light.

My question is a general: Is this good for my Phalaenopsis philippinensis? I know that plants are less likely to burn under LEDs rather than actual sunlight. Even under an entire day under these LED lights, the orchids' leaves are cool to the touch. Might the plants simply be overwhelmed by too much light despite no heat? Or could this be the best thing to ever happen to them? (I hope so!)
