# Any opinions on these lights for my smaller plants? And how long to…

_Gepostet von Lo am 2024-12-07_

Any opinions on these lights for my smaller plants? And how long to keep them running during winter? My plants are near a shaded west facing window and 10 feet from a south facing window. Thanks!

I haven’t used these specifically, but I am a big fan of Sansi lights.

### Christine kommentierte am 2024-12-07

They are good lights. Haven’t tried this o e but I’m sure it’s good too

### Wolfen 🐺 kommentierte am 2024-12-07

Does it say anything about their Kelvin? I think i found it on Amazon, said 4,000k full spectrum. They'd be good for most plants. If it was a plant that preferred more direct/full sun, you'd want a higher K

### Amber kommentierte am 2024-12-07

I have them, they are great.

### Amber kommentierte am 2024-12-07

Yeah. I turn them on at night and I turn them off when I am going to bed. No specific schedule..

Yes, I love it. Where do you live??

#### Clover 🍀 Buddha antwortete am 2024-12-07

Southern Ontario in Canada ❤️ where the winters are darker than my hometown London, England. Moved here 2 years ago and love it

And you? Somewhere dark too?

### Amber kommentierte am 2024-12-07

New York

#### Clover 🍀 Buddha antwortete am 2024-12-07

Soonds like you may be getting these milder yet dark winters too.

### Amber kommentierte am 2024-12-07

Not as bad as Canada haha

I have several, probably about ten. They work great. There are several versions. With or without timer, and two wattages. You have the 5 watts, tried that at first, but switched to the 10 watts. Didn’t think the 5 was bright enough. Depends on your plants.

#### Lo antwortete am 2024-12-08

That’s what I’m curious about too…and how close to put the lamp to the plant. I’ve been running them about 12 hours or so

#### Phil antwortete am 2024-12-08

The closeness depends on the plants needs. I don’t think the 5 watt will burn any plants but I have damaged a couple plants with the 10 watt.
