Hi folks. I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for indoor light sources. I live in Colorado and we’re going to start getting snow here before much longer so I’ll have to haul my plants in. I was thinking about using a flexible LED strip for lighting over the winter. I just moved into this apartment a couple months ago and exactly one room gets sunlight on one wall from a west facing window so some supplemental light might be needed for my growing succulent collection.

    Personally I use E27 PAR (38 degrees) LED lamps, 17 watt power. I have a mix of 3000 K and 4000 K. The reason for these specific lamps is that I found them at a discount and so I bought a large amount. It is nice that they are somewhat directional, so I can aim them at specific plants.

    I have a few different ways of hanging the lights by the plants. Most recently, I have set up a rack this way:

    The E27 clamps I bought 12 off Ali-Express: https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/4000793927858.html

    The rack is a simple light weight plastic rack that I found in a discount store for $12.
