I could not find any full spectrum t-8 lights at the hardware store, and the guy told me to just use two different shades of t-8. He said that this is all a full spectrum lamp is. Just wondering if any one else does this, it sure is cheaper. Using them for rabbits if it matters.
I believe that if you mix a "cool" and a "warm" bulb in the same fixture, you have pretty much accomplished the same thing as the expen$ive "full spectrum" bulbs.
I know people who grow plants indoors ("for legal purposes") who use the cool/warm combo. Besides being cheaper, you can buy them anywhere that sells bulbs.
That's what I did and it looks a little different if you look at the light itself, but looking at the light it casts is pleasant, hopefully the rabbits thrive under it.
You'll find me in my office. I'll probably be drinking. And reading this tiny ad.
