I would like good growth over the winter months. I was very disappointed with the red and blue 100w led spotlights last winter.
Great upgrade.
Take photos when your up and running.

The br30 spot growlight is good for some applications but not for all... now you can use them for supplemental party lights
I use them in terrariums.

You will immediately notice a difference in your plants behavior and growth habit with your new setup.

As your lighting needs change you can increase your lumens like Iowa said and you can mix bulbs according to your budget.

Me ...I have been moving stuff around for a week
