Can this grow under a little lamp with no other light? This will be in an office.

Hi sir from having bambos for years they need a small amount of direct light so my opinion I would think they would be fine just try not to get them to close to the light and always keep a possive additud yeah they love that oh if the bamboo starts changing color to a lighter green it needs real Sun so watch it close it could die so catch it first sign of disscolor and there you have it you will do great thank you hope I helped ya good growing

I don't think it would give enough light for your purposes . Think of it as a good closet light or as a work lamp.

Yes and no sweetie. You need a wide spectrum fluorescent set up along with some metal halides until the flowering begins. Then you need to add a regular incandescent light bulb, about 100w for every 6 sq. ft. of floor growing space. Lucky you got a hold of me. I'm Jay Essex. You can see me at JayEssex.com. I'm a bit different than other people but I also don't wear overalls for no reason. I used to take a lot of trips to Jamaica and lived in California. Nuff said. You also need to watch your fertilizer when germinating and later towards the flowering. Take care and have fun.

Without knowing how much room and depth you have to place the light, yes, the light will light it up; no sweat. You'll have to play the "light placement" game. Hope it works out.

Wouldn't think it should present any problem. Just make sure it's focus is on you and not situated toward a coworker. It's bright, but it is a "happy bright"..not glaring. Probably would go unnoticed for the most part, depending on the heights & set ups of coworkers cubicles, as well as overall office lighting. If office lighting is poor, which is the case many times, then it will be noticed. Make sure you read the directions in order to get optimum benefit.

I have a Happy Light and a full spectrum floor lamp. I turn the floor lamp on every day over my houseplants to give them light as the days are so dark, but I don't use the Happy Light for that. I also would suggest going to the website for Verilux and asking them. I can't tell whether or not my plants are flourishing but they are still alive at this point and look as good as they did in the fall when I brought them in, so you might give it a try.

No - I don't believe it would be bright enough. This requires the room to be very dark.

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.

NO! In an enclosed space, it will overheat & burn out almost immediately. The 75-watt & lower bulbs will work, however.

This would be ideal! You wouldn't have to worry about screwing in, could use sticky pads & they would stay! I needed under cabinet lighting just not bright enough for that , you just gave me an idea!

Not really. I'm little disapointed. The light is not enough power to ensure grow plants.

i don't think so.. it kind of glows more than shines. and if you put it on the floor, it would probably not go over the cubicle walls too much. i actually put it on the floor outside my office with the door open and i keep thinking the sun is coming thru the window - but it's just the light. so even if your coworkers see it, it would probably not bother them.

I would not say this lamp is nice-looking. It is an effective way to provide lots of light. My mother has one at her bedside and one at her desk, placed behind the desk with the lamp curved over the work surface. It does mean that things can fall off the desk since it cannot be pushed up against the wall, to make room for the lamp.

I know from my own use that the "bulb" doesn't get too hot to touch, but the ceramic base of it does get hot. Personally, I wouldn't put one in a fully enclosed lighting fixture for that reason. It IS a great light bulb, however. Wonderful lighting in my desk lamp.

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).

No, it wouldn't be good as the only light source in a large room. I have mine in an average sized bathroom.

No. You would need significantly more light. I would suggest (2) 4-foot bulbs at the very minimum...
