Does this lamp emit the correct light to keep a potted plant alive? Does it emit UV rays?

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

I was hoping it would, but my plant did not thrive... although it is most likely because I didn't water it regularly. But I actually moved the plant to the top of my cabinet where it is closer to the overhead lights - and it's doing great. The lamp is great for adding light in my cubical and since that was the reason I bought it, I'm happy with it.

I have no clue. I don't have any live plants. The packaging does not say anything about UV rays. Sorry I can't help.

I only have 1 plant, and it has stayed alive. However, I do keep the light on most of the day for that very reason.

I am a customer. I am also a scientist. For UV lamps to produce ozone, the bulb must produce a very specific wavelength of light. UV used to kill microbes and the like is UVC which does not produce ozone. Mere presence of high voltage als does not mean that you produce ozone. Do a search on ozone generators!

No. This light only works for low light plants. Dwarf baby tears need a much brighter light than this one.

Not sure if the exact angle is that important. In nature, sun light is emitted onto plants at all angles at different times. I have used this brand of LED lights for fresh water plants for years. The plants grow and multiply, and that was what i wanted. During water changes, I now need to heavily trim the plants, or the aquarium is over whelmed by the plants. I never had this type of growth with the old bulbs. Hope I have answered your question. I have also found these lights to be much better than other LED's I have tried out. The oldest light I have, has been used daily for over 5 years without any of the LEDs going dark. Not sure if the exact angle is that important.

Radiates about three foot radius, distance will depend on the light requirements of the plant. LED puts out minimal heat, so it should not scortch the plant. Have one light on 12 hr timer to supplement the Alaskan winter "daylight", So far so good, because my orchids are spiking blooms and orange tree has not dropped it's fruit or leaves. Good luck

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...

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.

Well, the 4 lights give out twice as much light and enable you to grow plants on a deeper shelf. I really like this light, and last year my seedlings grew better under these lamps than under my 2 light lamps. I didn't find them to put out too much heat, but they do give some warmth, which is good. I made an L-shape growing area with 2 sets of shelves. I put up 2 four-feet lamps on several shelves, and this lamp on the shorter side.

You would have to be sure the bulb does not touch the vinyl sides of the greenhouse, and that none of your electrical connections can get wet. Your electrical cord should be plugged into a ground fault circuit in case water contacts the connections. Other than that, your grow light should be fine. I used a heat lamp in mine last winter when the outside temperature fell below 28F, using the safety precautions I mentioned, and had no problems.

You can see a slight glow from the back of the unit. I use it in my bedroom at night, and it's not bright enough to keep me awake. I certainly wouldn't worry about the UV radiation.

Yes it does! I use this for frogs so they do not need a heat lamp. It's a regular light fixture.

It is to start your plants indoors. It emits the sun. What you are looking for is a suspended light fixture.

As a general light, yes. Depending on the turtle, many need UVA and UVB lights to grow and digest food. This light only has room for one bulb and cannot house both requirements for most tutrles or reptiles.

I have a 60 inch 110 gallona q and have one on mine. It gives off bright light....my tank does not have live plants... So may want to be sure this is the right light for live plants.

I don't know about for plants, but it's fairly yellow. Looks like a 60w incandescent bulb.

According to eHow and several other sources I have read, there is no UV emitted by LED's. Their spectrum is very limited and neither the high frequency end (UV) nor the low frequency end (Infrared or heat) are emitted. The result is a very efficient light emitter right in the spectrum to which the eye is sensitive.
