Good <insert appropriate time of day here>!
I'm wondering if anyone has any hands-on experience with IKEA's grow lights, the "VÄXER" series. (Please see here and here.) The web page isn't too specific about the lights' specs and I'd like to know if it would be suitable as supplemental lighting for plants kept on a windowsill.
As of late April I'll be living somewhere that doesn't receive much in the way of direct sunlight during the day, so I'd like to give my Mexican Pinguicula a boost if I find that the windowsill isn't enough on its own. I don't have much in the way of funds and space will be at an absolute premium, therefore I was curious about IKEA's range of cultivation lights.
I've looked into other types of lighting but cannot get them in the UK, so would appreciate your thoughts on these particular kits.
Thank you!
