Patrick asked:


I have a small cactus in a small pot on my desk at work. I am not near a window with sunlight. But, there are fluorescent lights everywhere that are always on. Will this lighting be sufficient for the cactus to live? If so, how often do I water it?
I want to emphasize there is no natural sunlight around my desk, only artificial light.

I’ve been working with three plants under three different light settings. When I finished my experiment, the fluorescent lighting caused the plants to flourish while the other two types of bulbs caused the plants to look unhealthy. Yet, I’ve been searching to find out what is in the fluorescent lighting that caused it to grow the plant best and can’t come up with any solid answers..help?

Chewey asked:


I have a fluorescent lighting controller for one of my fish tanks that is rated for a 600mm x 26mm diam 18w tube. Power supply is 240v 50Hz. Can I safely put a longer tube (ie 900mm) in this unit?
I also have a controller for a 450mm tube at 15w and would like to know how much more light I can get this to power.

We just moved into a house built in 1993, and I would prefer to have lamp fixtures or recessed lighting instead of the ugly fluorescent light above. Can we do it ourselves or do we need to hire an electrician? Thank you for your input!!

McKeagan asked:


We are converting a workshop into a studio-type apartment. We currently have fluorescent lighting and don’t intend to keep it. We want to know what lighting we should use. The colors in the room are very dark so we think hanging fixtures with 100 watt bulbs. The room is 40 by 25 and we’d like to keep things as inexpensive as possible. 4 hanging or 6? Is hanging best? Stick with fluorescent? Thanks.
