Hello,
i have some CP like Venus Fly Traps, Droseras, and Sarracenias, but where I live the plants doesn't get so many hours of sun, so I want to know which artificial lights are good for them.

Yescom 225 (red + blue combo) panels seem to be very good for the price. I have 4 mounted about my venus flytraps and now see some of the darkest colors I've ever gotten on them. You can of course go to the hardware store and buy some T5 or T8 lights- I heard a combo of cool and warm tubes is best (6500K and 3000K). I would aim for the highest lumen number you can find since there usually aren't better measurements on them, although I have seen PAR being used recently...
