First grow light - what do you recommend? I’ve got a lot of plants in my house, but as I’m in the north east of England the light gets pretty low in the winter - sun is setting about 6pm but it will soon be before 4pm! Some plants get moved into the windows for better light and do well, but I don’t have room for them all there. The pepper plants, custard apple and kalanchoe in particular would benefit from a bit more light. I was thinking of buying a grow light to help, does anyone recommend a particular one?

    If growing fruit trees, SANSI BR30 40w or 36w. You need strong lights comparable to the sun for fruiting trees to grow strong.

    Sansi lights as 9s has said. They are reasonably priced. Also, Berrina is another one T8, T10 and you can suspend them from the ceiling if wanted. But just an fyi, if they are directly on the leaves you can burn or bleach them. Happy growing!

    As the other two comments suggested, go with Sansi. Great bulb for a great price. They make many different styles to fit all types of set ups.
