It depends on how many plants you have. I️ have roughly ten small houseplants clustered in a 4X4 foot area and use these lights and as a broke biochemistry student who studies plants. I know that plants actually use a very limited spectrum (that these lights supply) i have more growth from two of these lights than i had in my actual window sill. I️ bought mine for $8 a piece, and I’m not sure why they’ve had such a huge price jump. Mount them up high, as they emit more of a beam than a dispersed light.
They are made in the same factory as the “Taotronics 12W LED grow light” (look it up on amazon too) and that produce has over 1000 reviews and 5 stars. I’ve used them for about a month now and i am truly blown away by how much my plants are GROWING and not just staying alive.
I have three prayer plants, a rattlesnake calathea, a jade plant, an alocasia elephant ear, and others under this light and I’m growing new leaves literally once every few days. I just wanted to keep them alive, and i got something better.

I just moved, and the windows in my new townhome don’t get much sunlight at all. My last place had plenty of south-facing windows where my plants were happy and I never needed grow lights there, so I don’t have much experience with them.
Now that I’ve moved, most of my houseplants are in the living room (not much space in my bedroom) and my roommate loves the look of them, but isn’t cool with me putting in grow lights that disrupt the interior decor or look like they belong in a greenhouse.
Our living room doesn’t even have a light in it, so we were going to buy some sort of lamp or something to add light to the whole room. If we get a big floor lamp to illuminate the whole room, could I just put a grow bulb in it? Would the grow bulb have to be one of the ones that gives off pink light, or could I get one that looks like normal light you’d have in your living room? And would it even be worth it if some of my plants are 10 ft. away from the bulb, or would the grow light only work well for plants right under it?
Sorry for my ignorance, any help or suggestions are appreciated!!
