Secondhand anglepoise lamps with clamps so they can be attached up high for bigger plants, and the cheapest and brightest white bulbs I can find in multipacks, are what I use.

I have 60 plants (currently), mostly tropicals and succulents, and they've been thriving under these lamps and mostly without natural light for nearly a decade now. My monstera is fucking massive, to the point where every year or so I remove a section of at least 3 or 4 leaves to keep it able to fit in my flat.

You really don't need to be shelling out for fancy lamps or bulbs to have most plants grow indoors!

I mean you can just put a grow light bulb into a normal desk lamp, and it'll work just fine manually (no smart bs to deal with).

Theres too many. Getting one that that not "smart" is a great starting point. My tatic with these sorts of purchases is to look at the shipping company and google them independently from the shopp app/site. If its a some sort of subsidiary moving low quality junk into the country its usually easy to spot.

Also dont buy anything with a clearly Ai generated image. Outer-net photos only.

And if you can, fuck Amazon.

Perhaps you can find a lamp at your local thrift store, swap meet, or flea market? Assuming the fixture works then it’s mainly a matter of getting a nice grow bulb for your plants. Good luck!

Soltech lights are nice but wildly expensive.
