Will this led lighting be good for plants requiring low to medium light.

Yes, I currently have amazon swords, anubis, tiger lotus, and crypts growing very well under this lighting, Thank you for your question

Probably not. Plants need good light and this is not the one. Don't know of any that are better, these small tanks are probably better with artificial plants.

Hello, will this light be good for live plants. I see you can add two more led bulbs. Is this true.

It will most definitely cover that area but, if only using the one fixture you should only look at low an mediumlight plants....adding a second fixture would be best

Should be ok. As suggested, you may want some floating plants (like duckweed) to filter the light if it's too much.

I really don't know for sure, probably anything low light. Because the led light does not give off uv rays. I believe most plants require a little uv light. Also I found that without uv rays from a flouresant light you will end up dealing with brown algea.

I found it to be great for low light loving plants. Best if you don't move the plants around or vacuum.

It's my understanding that LED lighting is not suitable for live plants....fluorescent lighting is what works best.

Hi Tim ~We have mostly regular plants and herbs, which seem to love this light, but my husband says he doesn't really think this is the right light for flowering plants. He thinks Dan's recommendation is the correct one. Good luck!

If you mean high light output the answer is yes. My plants are doing great under the light.

Watts are not used to measure LED lights since they are low wattage. Check out forums on led lighting to see how many lumens you need to have for your tank. These lights work good for low light plants in my 10g tank

It depends on amount of light you can give it. The included LED light will not be enough light for growing plants.

Yes all day light if your going to grow plants don't no if they are good but I use it for a reef tank and replaced with ati bulbs works great.

Low like, easy corals. You should look at getting the 48-60" version or finding another light that uses true 5w leds.

I would think no, its not as intense of an LED as some brands like USA Satalite+, or ones that can be made at buildmyLED dot com, the light will be much weaker the farther you get from the source, your lower sections will ultimately be starved of lights. Over an aquarium, at 2 feet below it, its barely giving off "low light" so unless you have a short vertical garden and only growing low light plants.. I'd recommend you look into another brand. Just to be clear, this is all speculation based on experiences using these for aquariums. I have no experience with vertical gardens and this light to give first hand knowledge.

Depends on what your using now but if your not using any good light, this would be a good alternative.Dwarf hair grass does require a moderate lighting source along with proper fertilization.

I don't think the lighting is actually that great. The dim blue light is okay for night, but for plants I don't think the white light is strong or bright enough
