My guzmania lingulata was struggling with curling leaves in a cold, dry room so I moved it to my desk with a warmer grow light. I’m not sure if the light will be too much where it is since I use the light for succulents. What is a good distance from the grow light for my guzmania? The light has 2000 lumens and is currently about a foot away from the guzmania.

Bright indirect is ideal. They can tolerate low light and artificial light making them great for offices.
