Lighting professional here, you are completely correct. There is one thing, though that I would like to add for the safety of your viewers. LED does emit UV light. in most cases it’s not enough for them to have to state it on the packaging that it does. Where are you going to see your most UV is your higher color temps like 65K. I say this, because you do need to take steps to properly protect your eyes if you were or around these lights often.

We installed little LED strip lights underneath kitchen cabinets just for looks/fun. I started my props there just cuz my countertop was easier than anywhere else. My plants LOVE it there! Thx for the helpful vid

[OriginalRanchu]

"Dont buy grow light" - put all his expensive plants under grow light, while cheap plants on shop lights. Brilliant.

[wasistinibarnhart]

Thanks for the video. A while ago I watched a plant youtuber saying that normal LED lights won't work for the plants. But in my experience, my plants look happy and keep growing in the winter. This is confirming it.

Last spring, I created an indoor grow light station for my seedlings using a wire storage rack. I bought four, 4 ft. LED shop lights at Walmart that were $20 each. Each light has 2 LED strips with daylight ratings of 5, 000 lumens with about a 5, 500 Kelvin. Hung 2 lights on a shelf using S hooks and a small chain to lower/raise the lights. Quick and easy. Kept the LED lights on for 12 hours over my seedlings, then they automatically turned off with a digital timer. My seedlings did amazing! The total cost for the storage rack and lights was about $115.

I’ve grown bonsai under shop lights for years, still do, they work well!

[detroitclawsnailtech]

I used those in the 90’s before growing at home became popular with the new generation… we all used Home Depot’s shop lights

[LeafySanctuary]

I had a similar setup with my Ikea OMAR shelf and opted for the Ledvance LED Strip Lights in cool white. They worked like a charm and were budget-friendly, which was perfect for my space. Thanks for sharing your setup!

My tissue culture lab is four 2ft under-cabinet lights which can be mounted on the front edge of the shelves so the heat doesn't dry out the flasks further back, but it still throws light to the back where the shelf is and not straight down at all. They were $10 each.

One of the best videos that I have watched in a while. Great info and right to the point. You just earned a new follower now let’s grow!

A big hug for you from Brazil! You told the whole truth. Cultivation since 2012 using 54w t5 bulbs. I use Led quantum bar 240w and there is no difference in performance compared to five t5 lamps

Well…
I’ll jump into the conversation to say we installed led under cabinet lights in our kitchen and then began to notice that tomatoes we buy and keep in a bowl on the counter would have seeds sprouting when we cut them open! If only after a week sitting in the bowl. I was stupid enough to question the manager at Publix about this 😂
He informed me that the proximity of the lights was my problem not his product 😊
Grow up safely!

[UttaraPraana]

Thank you!!! This was so helpful. I’ve been looking for this kind of info forever.

[kittyvenven]

Thank you for this.

I’m trying to create a tropical oasis in my house in Alaska. Thought about indoor plants I see thriving in no window offices, and saw 4 plants in a medical office growing beautifully under a dim light, and started wondering
If I needed all the fancy setups for my house plants.

I’ll stick to the marketed grow lights for fruit trees and herbs I want to grow since I don’t have much knowledge, and won’t take the time to confirm the marketed information regarding said lights, but for indoor plants I’ll follow your advice.

Thank you for this.

Harbor freight has full spectrum lights for under $20

[howystruggles]

Finally Someone who makes sence ! For a few years now ive been growing plants under very bright shop lights that would rival even some of the best grow ops..thanks for this . why pay hundreds of dollars for all those gimmicks?

[flocol]

I bought three, 4 foot, 200 watt, 5000k LED shop lights from Homeless Depot. I removed the plastic diffusers to expose the LED's. They work great for my off grid, winter garden. They cost $65 each. Adding the word "grow Light" increases the price.

[kalinystazvoruna]

I've used flourescents for decades ever since I noticed that the plants in the office grew better under them. Still have two sets of shop lights for seedling use. The fact they put out heat as well seems to work very well for the seedlings. The orchids that I have under LEDs, don't seem to like them that much. ::shrugs::

[myypca]

I put full spectrum bulbs and daylight bulbs in my lamps and then rearrange the plants underneath the lamps all over the house. This way I didn't end up adding grow lights of any kind. Just changed the bulbs in the lamps.

[AshleyCuilty]

Could you do a combo of both the red/pink lights and the blue lights to promote both root and plant growth?
