What kind of lighting does this tree tolerate? Inside my home is medium to low light.

Mine barely survived the last two winters indoor. I had it in a window which got direct morning sun. It comes to life in the spring/summer when I take it back outside but doesn't seem to have enough time to grow and fruit before Fall returns.

The low light will not allow the tree to grow further or produce fruit. It will go dormant. It will then grow again when it can get the medium light.

It needs at least 6 hours of full sun a day it is not an indoor tree unless it's a hot house mine is outside unless the temperature drops below 30 degrees.

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...

Depending on how tall is Palm tree. You can always upgrade the light bulb to 50 watts.

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.

Low like, easy corals. You should look at getting the 48-60" version or finding another light that uses true 5w leds.

It's not super low. In a dar room it's still plenty of light to see. But the low light level is around half the brightness of the high. If I compared it to my hue lighting system that goes from dark 0% to a light glow 10% to super bright 100% I'd say these lights cover the range at about 40% to 100% on a brightness scale.

I have a few trees within range of the light and, to date, they have not triggered the light.

none effectively. Light is less bright than a christmas light. Seems to last a night, but no practical amount of light is produced

The more light, the better. I have had to keep mine inside all winter and none of the windows get a ton of light so the succulents have stretched out looking for light. The cactuses seem to do ok with less light but grow bigger and look healthier with more. We kept them on the porch all summer where they got tons of light but were sheltered from rain and just watered biweekly. They seemed happy with that.

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 light is really cool, I put it under a group of pine trees in my front yard. I put a dusk to dawn timer on it, it is beautiful. works wonderful.

It depends on how much light you want and what you want to use if for. I ordered it to illuminate a six foot (now) tree we planted as a memorial to our son who passed away. It is exactly what we wanted a good soft light which illuminates the entire tree now, probably won't when it grows much. The light is more light a reg. indoor light and not of the halogen nature with an off color glow. It will not burn long when it does not get sufficient daylight to recharge the batteries. I noticed it was on all the zero degree nights when it had sufficient light to recharge. In other words, I have been happy. It depends on how much light you want and what you want to use if for.

It's a very, very dark brown. If put out of the light in your home it would look black. I have two of them under a coffee table and they don't look brown, but my house is surrounded by trees and is quite dark inside.

What is "less than optimal light"? Is it indoor lighting? Is it outdoor street lighting? Haven't had a chance to shoot in the night with the weather outside. Indoor, it seems be fine.

It is best indoors. I use it on my chandelier and it provides deep orange light. Kinda too orange and very dim...if you want it dark but spooky orange, this would be appropriate

You could get a different color/spectrum. Most like HPS for flower. The better the light penetration the better flower.

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!
