Quite close - eventually. It may depend on plants you have.

It may be good idea to acclimatize them especially if you don't know what kind of light they were grown in. tart with lights further away and gradually move closer and closer.

Are those T12?

Hi Beth, usually we post photos so it's easier for folks to accurately advise us :)

I use artificial lights for my succulents, but I don't follow a set guide, as every succulent species has different light requirements. I keep the lights vertically above the succulents to avoid bending and judge if it's sufficient from their colour and shape. Some species will colour up (e.g. get pink/red/purply tips) under sufficient light and lose their colour (turn greener) in insufficient light. If it's not bright enough, most succulents will stretch a little - you'll notice these signs usually within a day and can adjust accordingly.

Importantly, place your hand under the light for a good 30 seconds at least to gauge how much heat it's giving off at the distance of your plants. I've fried a succulent before from a crappy IKEA plant bulb that gives off way too much heat than my usual bulb. But alas, I should have checked! :)

I'll have pictures soon. I dont have my plants yet. And yes, they are T12, Rina. What should I know about those?
