Hi guys,

Are these new LED-based lamps suitable for growing a certain tropical
plant in your attic? They're apparently much more efficient and produce
more lumins per Watt and less heat. But is less heat a drawback in this
particular application? Do the plants require heat as much as light?

Peace, people.

Large fluorescent tubes make a lot more sense really. And sodium make even better sense. LEDs no, less light per lumen, far more upfront cost.

If the plants are of a dubious nature, expect overhead IR scans to pick it up, I believe these are used to plan raids. BICBW.
