Are LED's effective? I always think they don't really throw out the right sort of light? It tends to be a bit clinical, even more than the fluro lights??

See the graph to the right he http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorophyll Whether it looks clinical or "natural" to you green plants absorb light in certain bands, if those are there all is well. If the light is in other parts of the spectrum (eg green) it is wasted. The fluorescent tubes designed for grow lights have a lilac tinge to them as they are made to emit in both the red and blue ends of the spectrum. LED lighting is more energy efficient than many other sources, whether a given LED is powerful enough to support indoor plants is another question. At least being cool you can place them close.
