Rodney,
I've been trying to find this information for a while. Claus
Christensen at Tropica recommends using (among others) Phillips bulbs.
I can get Phillips "Agro Lites" pretty cheaply. They are supposed to be
for plants but, as usual, there is no information on the light
temperature. Do you know what it is for the Agro lites?
