2018 Makeshift Tropical Set-Up

Hmm I may steal your idea of framing poster board around my indoor table. I'm using dome cheap Amazon grow LEDs but they worked ok last year.

Seems to reflect evenly...
People told me last year that my use of aluminum foil tape could cause hot spots....so white is better.
 
White light might be better. I have "grow lights" in my southern exposure, that look purple, and new LED lights in the eastern exposure that are pink. Probably a good thing I live in a very small town...
 
Heat spots happen when the lights are overpowered.
Most of the times with LED, CFL and neon, it doesn't happen easily.

I would personally lower the lights. LED loses some power over distance, and since heat production of the bulb is low, they can be placed pretty close to the plants for best results.

They are mere inches away, I will drop them down as far as I can....thanks!
