Help me select a bulb for growing succulents

8 years ago

Hi guys


I live in Scandinavia and therefore I have little light for 6 to 9 months a year. I'm interested in growing succulents and have looked into getting a grow light. I live in a small one-bedroom apartment, so I can't fit a large setup. A desk lamp fitted with a bulb suited for growing would be ideal as I only have about 5 small pots. However, I'm unsure what kind of bulb would be right for my needs.


I've done a bit of research and found the following two which I think might be usable.


Phillips 23 W LED, 6500k, 3000 lumen

CFL bulb 35W, 6500K, 2000 lumen


Would these be able to grow succulents and are they powerful enough?


Appreciate your inputs.
