# New grow lights, opinions? I just found these lights for good deal at…

New grow lights, opinions?

I just found these lights for good deal at the thrift store and couldn’t help myself, I figured since there’s less hours of sunlight during winter months and I’m in a tough place for light, I could use them. How long should I keep them on and with what intensity? I have them on my philodendron silver sword, and the other I have one a bunch of different babies. I need some opinions on them!

Blurples spectrum are good for flowering and growing. Unless you have something prone to dormancy. 12-16 hrs for tropicals is the norm for me.

Those are really neat! Do you have a brand name you could share?
