highly recommended for orchids
By Big Bad John
I've tried various cheaper alternatives for raising orchids indoors. This model was recommended by an outstanding local grower and I have been very pleased with the results. Positioned about 3 feet above the leaves, it delivers as much intensity as you would get at 3 PM under a light overcast here in the mountains of western NC. That intensity has remained steady over two years of daily use. This is a WARM light in spectrum and the amount of heat it puts out. That works well for common orchids, which will not bloom so well under a bluer light or in a cooler room. I have this in a large unheated basement room which stays close to 80 degrees on winter days when the light is on, dropping to 65 at night when the light is off. Not cheap to run, it's a lot less expensive than the combination of a 400 watt HID bulb and a space heater, which I tried before. I can flower Catts and Oncidiums quite well with this light, while the Phals and Paphs do well when placed at the edge of the growing table so they don't get sunburned. You need a 1000-watt ballast and an appropriate hanging fixture for this bulb. Be very careful not to spray water on or near the bulb when it's on, as any hot light bulb can explode from sudden uneven cooling! Humidification and circulation of room air is also needed for orchids and other tropicals (except cacti). If you plan to grow only Phals and Paphs, this bulb is overkill; try the 400-watt model.
