Does this light support plant life?

Truly depends on plants & doing specific growth . red grows -blue moonlight slowed & green picks up algge growth etc..

I don't think it does but it look very beautiful in my aquarium. My fishes colors are enhanced by it and makes great mood lighting well worth the price

This is a great light in my opinion, but I use only artificial plants in my 30-gallon tank. I believe you WILL need a second light with a "grow" bulb for live plants.

I don't think it's strong enough for growing plants. I do have plants in my tank but I always end up replacing them after a while as they start wilting away after a while. That light would be inmy opinion only minimally adequate for plants, depending on the type of plants and their needs. Good luck with your growing plans, Benji!

I do not have live plants in my aquarium. I do have a 50 gal tank and it lights it very nicely. I love the moon light feature.

I am very new to air plants. I'm trying to learn without killing them. But I do have mine where it gets a pretty good bit of indirect sun light. I really haven't had mine long enough to give you a good answer.

I have a 75 gallon tank with heavy plants. I have been using this light along with an extra strip light for six months now and the plants are growing just fine. The extra strip light is from the same manufacturer as this one, just a single strip of LED's. I have not tried just this light by itself But it wouldn't surprise me if it worked ok with low light plants.

When the light worked it gave a decent depth and good saturation of the area. I would recommend using Mylar siding on your grow area to help with the saturation of light to your plants. I really do not recommend this light though. Mine stopped working with less than a month (2 weeks) of use.

Yep! Been there done that! Great for vegetative state! ;) not as good as the more expensive grow lights. But, my plants did what they were suppose to do!

I believe it would be. I used it to start bedding plants (tomatoes, basil, etc.) and grow them to the plant out stage and the light worked well for this.

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

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

As the prior response indicated, this light would not be the best option for a planted tank that requires stronger lighting.

It might but the light output isn't optimised for plant growth. The best source is the "gro-lux" or similar lamps used in aquaria. These have a pinkish light that I haven' seen in an LED yet. If you are worried about power consumption then they are usually a fluorescent type of lamp so are quite low compared to an incandescent lamp.

Yes, it has a light. It is hard to handle and you actually have to dismember your flower, in order to use the scope. I would suggest something you can use (while your product is still on the plant).

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

Nothing in my home would keep a potted plant alive. UV rays? Don't know. However, the lamp is excellent for reading!

The stock light is very poor for live plants, but you can buy a rather inexpensive replacement. Its the Finnex Fugeray Planted+ Cliplight. I bought it for around $40 and my plants (anubias, java fern, peacock moss, brazilian pennywort) are growing great1
