Has anyone ever bloomed orchids with these light bulbs?

Yeah, I have 3 in bloom right now. I just got a dome light (bought at a pet store meant for reptiles) and make sure they aren't too close to the leaves, but they're a lot cooler than the "basking bulbs" you'll find at the pet store too.

Yes, one of the better options for doing so. For vegetative growth I recommend you have full spectrum or "blue" spectrum bulbs. 5400 Kelvin? That's from memory. If that's off the answers are a Google search away

Wow, I use them in my chandelier which has a "small" base, but it's been so long ago! Don't have any to look at. I get my chandelier bulbs at Lowe's now.

Are you trying to grow real plants -- is that your concern? If so i dont think leds are suitable for that no matter the watts per gallon because they dont produce the wavelengths necessary for plant growth like flourescent bulbs

Nope but I did notice however LED lights are more effective as additional lighting. Mixing HID lighting or flourscent with is the way to go in my opinion. I've noticed better results and more natural growth. Pretty light tho- it's pink. You can use them by themselves tho too. I would recommend one plant per 135 watt ufo. Once you have 3 or 4 going it can get a bit noisey tho. Low heat is nice

I did. If you go to this company's web site they have really quality landscape lights at a good price but I bought the led bulbs from amazon

I did not. Put them in dirt, watered and almost every seed germinated. They grew like weeds. I've already had to transplant them into larger pots. I did water them every day, lightly.

They worked with T10 base LED lamps used for landscape lighting. I did not try any other bulbs.

Are your bulbs exposed? The first time I bought ladybugs, I didn't realize they'd fly up to the lights and fry themselves...

I used them over led candle bulbs and so far nothing has happened. It has been several months. I love the shades

Yes! I own two of these lights & have had compact fluorescent bulbs in them for the past year. No problems!

dont use them as a shovel or you could hurt the plant and break the bulb. Thats all I know. :)

Yes we did. We purchased ours from PINK NAILS back in 2010It came with 4 bulbs. My wife likes hers. No problems with it in 4 years now.

I am not sure because I haven't tried. i suppose you could but since I don't own any LED bulbs I cannot really answer.

Yes, I have tried. DO NOT do this, they are not even noticable at night time. Very dangerous.

Ipower makes digital ballasts. So I would assume they would work just fine with any digital ballast. I've heard of people having problems using hortilux with digital. The bulbs are well packaged. Meaning I've received three 1000w bulbs that were not broken on arrival. Fast shipping. I'd say go for it.

I don't know. But I put installed the lights in my front flower beds a year ago, and last evening as I was walking up my walk, I was again amazed at how much light they put out for the piddly amount of wattage they use. I wouldn't have believed it.
