Would this light be appropriate for African violets ?

I personally never had African violets but I would still say yes that it would be great for any plants because I have had many types of plans under these lights and have gotten nothing but blooms from my Oxalis, amaryllis even my Christmas cactus that i had never even seen bloom before had under this light!

I am using my EnviroGro light for orchids, but I think it would be quite suitable for african violets.

I am currently using this light to grow African violets and orchids. I think it has a high enough light output to grow vegetables but keep in mind that the peak light area for the light is only 2 foot by 3 foot. One large tomato plant can take up that much space.

probably not. its a small bulb - didn't really work too well for my basil plant.

This is a great light for accent. The illumination is very diffused and would not work well for primary lighting. I hope this helps.

It would be more than sufficient for your situation. You'll need to be cautious to acclimate your corals to the LEDs. Start out with them very dim, and work up over a period of a couple months. I'd also suggest getting your hands on a Par meter (maybe from a local reeding club). Then you'd have statistical data as to how much light you're getting with each setting in various parts of your tank...

As long as the light spans the top of the aquarium, there should be no problem. This light is very bright and provides excellent illumination, both for viewers and for the fish and plants. The greatest thing about this is the gradual setting sun and moonlight modes. The only drawback for this unit is that, if your electricity goes off or the lamp is unplugged, you will have to reprogram it the time, sunset, and moon settings.

It should do fine. However, as you'll only get a little sun during the summer months, it would be a good idea to get some augment light, such as a small LED grow light. I keep mine indoors all the time -- it's not going to get too big -- and I have augmented light. Just don't let the temperatures get below 60 degrees as it is tropical.

This light should be more than sufficient for your purposes. It is very bright and works quite well for plants. I no longer have an aquarium, but last spring I set it up for our garden starters; the plants under this light did much better than those under an ordinary full-spectrum light. I hope this helps.

I don't think it would be to bright but at full power its a very cold or 'white ' light. We have enjoyed these light but they need to be in direct sunlight.

I don't know much about potted palms or it's light needs, but based on the small diameter output by this bulb I would guess not.

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

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

Dena...this led light is sufficient for a ten gallon tank used for planted aquariums...so if you are using this for a 29 gallon sump then it wouldn't be bright enough for cirals or plants...However, 12 gallon refugium should be fine but I would recommend two units for ultra bright...please let me know if you have any questions

I have one of these lights and it works well for ALL stages of plant growth. Just remember to keep the bulbs a few inches away from the plants, for best results.

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.

Hello. I would say yes. I have one of these lighting the back corner of a 90 gallon corner tank. The plants there are now growing well. I will say the plants are a bit on the pale side compared to plants under the t5 fluorescents...but they are growing well.

Unlikely, unless you plan on keeping plants that thrive in low light. This light is primarily for fish only tanks, and you'll need two side by side to obtain sufficient light.
