No, artificial lighting must be very close to the leaves to support photosynthesis. Without getting into the powerful and high dollar lighting what we can get as consumers isn't powerful enough. It can work on low growing plants, but the height of the tropical tree or bush complicate matters, you'd need a whole array of them running from bottom to top.

We have low E windows in our home and the filtering makes it hard for plant growth inside. Natural sunlight is best for what you need.

They are tough to find. I settled on a led 5k 120 watt and its been exceptional with a very small amount of heat and great light. ]]> Thu, 19 Nov 2015 08:00:00 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=78255&PID=603373&title=refugium-light#603373 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=78255&PID=603372&title=refugium-light#603372 Author: broncobilly

I would go with the 6500K, that seems to be the best spectrum for plant growth.
