Will this let in enough light for a small plant to survive?

indirect sunlight, yes. If you are looking for full sunlight for the plant during the day then no.

I have my film on a west-facing window (I live in Phoenix). I had a couple of young succulents on the window sill for a few weeks but had to move them outdoors for more light. Depending on the light needs of the plant and which direction you face you might be able to do it.

Mine is covering a mirror- but enough light bounces through it to make it look like a window. It's probably perfect for a plant that likes light, but not direct sunlight

Yes. We have a plant in the hallway were have a window with this film and it's doing great, although it's not a plant that requires full sun exposure.

Yes. We have a plant in the hallway where we put the window film months ago and it's doing great (although it's a kind of plant that doesn't need full sun exposure)

this light worked but it covers a very small area, i will not use leds for flowering agin

It would depend on the type of terrarium you want to create. I do not think the light provided is strong enough for plants or reptiles.

Depends on the type of plant. It's not super bright so while it'd probably be sufficient for low to medium light plants, the light is definitely not strong enough for high light plants unless you have a shallow tank, and position the plants right below the light.

It depends on the lumen output of your bulb. Minimum amount of lighting needed is around 2000 lumens per square foot.Mid range is around 5000 lumens per square foot. Optimal is 7000-7500, or higher, lumens per square foot. 40,000 lumens would be mid range for that tent. I use a 400w HPS light in that exact tent and it does the job. Then there is a matter of wattage. Judging by your 300 w rating it may do the job. Take some time to do the math. More is better than less and your plants will tell you the same.

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.

I suppose it would be fine. Mine had natural light and it still died. But then I am a plant murderer... So no big shocker there.

As long as your plants are under the light you should be fine. These are very bright.

depends on your plants. It may be adequate for low light plants but definitely not good enough for medium to high light plants.

yes it does; its important to keep your plants at least 18 inches away from the light and try to minimize anything being in contact with the light

I think it would be ok for small reptiles, etc. but the light wouldn't provide enough of a heat source.

This model is a bit small for your area of cacti. I would recommend locating a larger light that can cover more square footage.

I don't think much light passes through the side slits, but the bulb should not overheat in a glass container.

My opinion is that it would be fine for such. If you needed brighter I would consider the Ray2 light but it might be too much for low light plants.
258778
Not really. I'm little disapointed. The light is not enough power to ensure grow plants.

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

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.
