Review on 🌞 Zoo Med Tropic Sun 5500K 24” Daylight, 17 watts - Optimum lighting for your terrarium by Wendy Benson

I use it for planted terrariums and plant shelves. It works great with smaller terrariums and shelves. I have low to moderately photophilic plants and they grow very well with it. For deeper terrariums or lighter colored plants, flood lighting or something with a higher light output is recommended. I have found my sun loving plants to still stretch under this light even when they are 30cm from the lamp (note Sedum, second small plant from the left stretching. Usually a groundcover growing close to the bulb ). to the ground).
