Im completely satisfied with the type... I do my airbrushing and paint brushing at night ...I feel it provides a a close rep of daylight.

I don't think it's the same as 'Natural Light'. There are some 'daylight' florescent bulbs out there that will give you the same temperature as daylight which is between 5000 K and 6500 K. If you want my honest opinion I would try a good Art store which should carry bulbs, usually color corrected, specifically for art.

Yes I would call these a nice very natural light. Its not a grow light, I use these on normal fixtures all over the house. Not just the 100 watt but 75 and 60 too.

They are cheap enough to purchase one and try it to see if it is what you would like.

Personally I think these give off an artificial yellowy tinted light. I would suggest going with a different bulb if you're looking for a natural quality to the light it produces.

The most "natural" light to me; why I paid $18 for 4 bulbs. 100 watts are hard to find

I have always used an LED bulf with this lamp...Love the lamp...I use a curly coiled LED...not a lot of electricity for the concentrated light...I read by this lamp a lot

The fixture itself is standard. The difference here is the color of the light the bulb produces (measured in degrees Kelvin). A good grow light should be roughly the color of daylight (about 5,000K). In fact, you can use any "daylight" bulbs and get the same result. That said, I've bought 4 of these fixtures and use them over my easels for myself and my painting students. They're well made and the color of the light is as-advertised.

The answer is YES.....LED lamps differ from almost every other source of electric lighting, in that they give off as much light (lumens) as higher-wattage incandescent bulbs - but with virtually NO heat. That part alone makes them especially efficient, and very well suited for indoor applications. That, plus the fact that you probably won't have to replace it for the next ten years or so, makes LED lamps a particularly good investment.... However, 'Natural' light is too 'unnatural' for me - I prefer something in a 'warm' color range (2700K to 3000K max.) and this bulb didn't do it for me. Warm-light LED bulbs have just recently shown up on the market, and I'm currently searching for a replacement for this all-too-bluish Samsung bulb on my front porch. So much for that...now I am reminded of a favorite joke: Q: How many Psychiatrists does it take to change a light bulb? A: Only one, but it takes a long time - and the bulb really has to want to change.

I have purchased a couple of different types of these lights. I have one set that is lavender and the other sets are plain white lights. Neither of them changed color at anytime. They are beautiful lights. I am preparing to purchase a couple of new sets for this summer. You won't be disappointed. The solar panel is small but holds the charge very well. I too have them in a tree but as long as the panel is in direct sunlight (my panel sits on the ground on the stake provided by the company) you should have no problem. They start to light up after the sun goes down and stay lit up until dawn. I have purchased a couple of different types of these lights.

It honestly depends where you got the nightlight. I ordered one on Amazon that is crap quality. It came with the wrong adapter and plug in. And it really just doesn't work right. The glow is super dull and goes away almost immediately. Someone purchased me one of these lamps as a gift from bed bath and beyond also, and it works perfectly. The glow is bright and lasts for 10-20 minutes. The settings are different and I can choose to set it to one specific color, and it is a product I would recommend. Advice to all, do not order this product online. It might be cheaper, but it will definitely be MADE cheaper... It honestly depends where you got the nightlight.

If you desire very bright light in your kitchen, these are good bulbs. If you are looking for softer lighting, then you should try something else. We use these in our kitchen, which gets a lot of bright, natural light during the day, and we wanted bright light at night to have consistency. Although we are happy with it, others feel they can be too bright - we may install a dimmer to help moderate.

Actually, there is. I am very glad when i found out about it. ) Just a suggestion tho if ever you consider buying this lamp, I'd really recommend that you use an LED bulb for this lamp since it doesn't heat up. Also, using a 40W equivalent LED Globe bulb worked best for me in terms of lighting (that is, if you want your light to be bright but also very relaxing for the eyes) and this bulb, specifically, is really durable and energy efficient.

Yes, but CFL worked better for me on this fixture. I'd really recommend using a 100W equivalent CFL bulb.

Hi Gabriella. I think you can but I would check with the people who make the TaoTronics grow light to make sure. I was using the taotronics light with the woods lamp and the light started turning off and on and making a noise. So I stopped using it. I tried just some regular lights bulbs to see where the problem was, in the light or the lamp, and it's in the lamp. My lamp has some wiring issues. So I hope this helps you. Have a good day.

I had never checked if the WakaWaka unit charges under artificial light- so, I do not know. I expect that it would to some degree charge under artificial light. ( comment) Yet, the Sun is full spectrum and "Artificial" is likely only a specific set of wavelengths that are available. Thus, any conversion of artificial light MAY be less than from the sun. Certainly, Plants ( I have read) take advantage of the "Ying and Yang" of entangled photons that few man-made solar collectors do. In only a few years to come, I expect that many solar collectors efficiencies will double in any light- as the exponential increasing technology embraces the unique qualities of light. Just wait and see. I had never checked if the WakaWaka unit charges under artificial light- so, I do not know. I expect that it would to some degree charge under artificial light.

no, it's just a light to simulate sunlight. Also, as far as the poor reviews on this lamp, I really like mine. They had an earlier model that wasn't as good, and broke after I had it for three years. This newer design is much better.

The bulbs should work fine if not totally enclosed in a fixture. If the are completely enclosed, the will get hot and die. The color of daylight is bright white which should work well for art.

i agree with jk. its not the light its how far away the lamp is from the plant.the plant gets leggy because its trying to get more light.

This is a bulb intended to provide the spectrum that mimics sunlight in order to mitigate effects of Seasonal Affective Disorder. While they may function as grow lights, they are not designed to provide the same wavelengths of light at the same intensities as grow lights would.

Also luminosity is still pretty weak with solar energy. The alternative is to use LED lights. I am pretty satisfied with a 3 heads lamp post I purchased a while ago at Costco. It is very bright and consumes very little electricity. However, the drawback is that you have to run electrical wires.
