Can I use this as a plant light? I was just gifted a small bonsai tree and my office does not get enough sunlight .

I don't know why not. The light is more like natural daylight than flourescent lamps, and I know they are used for that purpose.

I would think that the lamp would work for that purpose, as the temperature of the light output is the same as the temp of sunlight. There are other lamps available, with a better frame. I have one or two like the one shown, and I like the "touch on/off" switch, however, I have had two similar to these fail at the hinge. I have found the light with the flexible shaft to be more substantial, and uses the same bulb, and hold design.They are excellent desk lights. I do Tax and Accounting work, and they have really helped my tired old eyes. I use one on my desk, and 2 beside my monitor. We also use one for a piano light on my wife's Clavinova.

Well this is very simple but it is also very small it is for a desktop garden. You could use it with a small single LED or CFL grow light configuration.. (Grow light would have to out side the unit).

Absolutely!! I love my Brussel's Chinese Bonsai. I keep my plant mostly indoors, and in the lanai, but bring it out occasionally in the rain.I am very pleased with my purchase. My Bonsai is still as beautiful as it was when I bought it last year. I intend to buy more.

You can use it, but without a reflector such as: Hydrofarm FLCDG125D Fluorowing Compact Fluorescent System (bulb that comes with the hood is for vegetative stage, colder blue spectrum) much of the light will not be directed towards the tomato plants. Use the warm bulb for the flower and fruiting stages. Found this lamp to be of some use for supplemental fill in areas not well lit by the primary light source. Serious (small 4'x4' up to 6'x6') greenhouse vegetable growers are better off with: http://www.htgsupply.com/Product-Digital-Greenhouse-%20600w-HPS-Grow-Light ,use the standard 92,000 lumens bulb that comes with it for flowering and purchase the GrowBright 600w MH Conversion Bulb (72,000 lumens) ($44.00) for vegetative growth.

Yes. The light will illuminate the branches. Looks great when the light sort of bends around the branches giving you a 3 day effect. Looks fantastic!

Yes. That is precisely why I bought it. I've been using it to operate two fluorescent grow lights for my bonsai tree. Works great.

Probably not. You need to get a warmer color temperature light that is closer to 3000K (soft or warm white) to supplement your current lighting. You don't need to have a large lamp to prompt your plants to flower; a smaller CFL along with a full spectrum light will be good enough.

This is not a good light for a tank with plants. This led and it does not produce the conditions that plants need

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

No. This light is only good for low light plants. Get a finnex planted plus for your swords.

As I understand it, this type of bromeliad can handle bright light like on a windowsill but not direct sunlight. I keep mine in a living room that has medium light since I keep the shades drawn on 1 side. Like I said in my review I'm crossing my fingers ot see whether I can keep this alive - it's my first airplant, along with a Medussa I bought at the same time...

Yes,you can but I would recomend trying a shorter verity. The 17hour light period is perfect for violets. The only thing I can recomend for sure is to add a supplemental light on the sides and you'll get more flowers. They sell cheap led 15watt plant lights that would work for that,at least that's what I do.

You can use this light with plant as well..I have my 55 gallon planted tank is working great

Its an excellent light it should fill all your needs . You can purchase a light for your plants but its not necessary. I love it!

No this blub does not have enough light to do you any good. To set up starter plants you need at least 7-8 watts of power to give the seedling the energy they need. 15 watts would be better. Also I found this small blub heats up far too much for a LED. More than a 15 watt one I have. Remember you are trying to replace the sun's energy so the higher the watts the better the growth.

If you have a nano fish-only then this would work fine, but nowhere near enough light output for corals. (maybe some softies?) I am using one, but as a light over my sump/refugium on my saltwater tank.

Don't go with the plant+... that's for planted tanks... makes the fish look a little worse... and doesn't give the corals the type of light they need. If your corals are low-light tolerant (mushroom anemones, etc.) or don't require any light whatsoever (such as sun polyps or gorgonians) you'll be fine. The light is so bright (for its size) you MIGHT even get away with large-poly stony corals and any other softies. If, however, your corals require relatively high amounts of light, this light might not be sufficient. Or you might need to put two of them in tandem.
