My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Will this light work?

8 years ago

Good afternoon!

Every year I start my seeds indoors down in my basement. I have some shelving with a shop light using plain ol' T12 bulbs. I'm doing more this year and needed a second light. My husband found a nice light on sale and got it for me.

It's a LED shop light (LED are built in). The light type is daylight, 3200 lumens. Will this be enough for seed germination?

Thank you for your time!!

-Lindsay
