Is there any documentation with the lights indicating useful as plant grow lights?

Not really, I wouldn't think they would be seeing as they don't emit any UV.

I don't know about lumens exactly, but I measured the output with a light meter and it registers about 15k to 20k lux (1 lux is equal to 1 lumen per square meter, I think). They say 20k lux is legit for growing plants. I ordered 4 different types of grow lights, and this actually has the highest output (including a 60 dollar T5 setup), it just doesn't cover a whole lot of area, although definitely covers more than the other under $20 LED lights. I may buy quite a few of these.

Not really. I'm little disapointed. The light is not enough power to ensure grow plants.

what I use is a simple cheap lamp that has a metal shade behind the light and has a clamp that can be attached to something solid. I think I paid about 10 bucks for it at a hardware store. It sure grew lots of plants for me.

I really don't understand your question. The LEDs won't give you enough light for normal lighting. You should use the white and blue Florescent together for plant growth and day time lighting. I only use the LEDs for a night light.

I wish I could help you. I ordered mine for usage in a plant light. Hope you can find your answer.

These are LED lights. You need HO or fluorescent lights for a planted tank.

Probably not, you will most likely need the LED indicated for plants, it has a different light spectrum

Go out to their site at http://www.dormgrow.com/ where you will find all the details on their lights. I have a 450 and it was good for two folding tables side by side. Next year I plan to create a wrap around for the tables so the light can bounce off and provide better coverage. The lights also have little fans to promote better grow conditions.

Sorry, I have never grown tomatoes or any other type of plant so I wouldn't know if this type of lighting would work for that purpose.

Well this is very simple but it is also very small it is for a desktop garden. You could use it with a small single LED or CFL grow light configuration.. (Grow light would have to out side the unit).

check the manual booklet that came with it, it tells you what the different light patterns mean

Depends on what and how much you're trying to grow. For one plant this is great, as the number of plants increase you will eventually need more lights.

I have a Happy Light and a full spectrum floor lamp. I turn the floor lamp on every day over my houseplants to give them light as the days are so dark, but I don't use the Happy Light for that. I also would suggest going to the website for Verilux and asking them. I can't tell whether or not my plants are flourishing but they are still alive at this point and look as good as they did in the fall when I brought them in, so you might give it a try.

Yeah am using all 3 lights on my plant.its a slower process but that's what i was shooting for instead of a rapid process getting bigger flowers than my 300w light so far so good.
