Found this in my hallway, and was wondering what kind of light it is, and if it beneficial to my 2 week old seedlings. I've been keeping a 20 watt CFL on it, but that produces no heat, and this bad boy gets hot. Help me out
That first picture makes me think it is a Halogen bulb. AFAIK, it is worthless light wise for your plants.
its an incandescent, it produces almost exclusively heat. low heat is what you want. if your CFL isnt burning your seedlings yet, move it closer. youre gonna need more CFLs, 100w for one plant and 50 mroe for each additional one. 6500k spectrum for veg, 2700k for flowering, ich you dont want to exchange the bulbs get roughly 2/3 of them as 2700k and 1/3 as 6500k.
I was afraid it was an incandescent. Still have a money issue, so the lights are still an issue. Gonna try to get that splitter though.
