fluorescent lights
Hi all! I have a question about fluorescent lights...
During the winter months I keep most of my orchids inside in a plant cart with 3 shelves. I will move them outside once temperatures are consistently over 60 degrees at night (I live in Northeast Florida - Jacksonville). Each shelf has 2 fluorescent lights above them (48 inches, 40 watts ea). In an orchid book (Ortho's "All About Orchids") it was recommended to use 4 bulbs per shelf. How critical is the number of bulbs? I would think the number of bulbs is not as critical as is the actual amount of light. Do you think that as long as the amount of light as measured by footcandles is OK, 2 bulbs will suffice? Thanks. Larry |
