This is the light I’m using
Root Farm All-Purpose LED Grow Light, 45W - Broad Spectrum Grow Lamp, For Indoor Hydroponic Plants, Energy Efficient https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B074SG33M2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_sxCbGbX8FEAMY?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Not with an LED grow lamp. They run nice and cool and do not take up too much energy. I run mine for about 15 hours a day. I'm using this one I purchased on Amazon: Root Farm 10101-10135-1... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074SG33M2?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Its great light but not for that price. I have it and love it. It only cost me $75.00 Root Farm All-Purpose LED Grow Light, 45W - Broad Spectrum Grow Lamp, For Indoor Hydroponic Plants, Energy Efficient https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074SG33M2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apan_glt_fabc_QR9KVS7YF2113S87PJD5
Yep! This one
Thank you! Honestly I'm not sure how old it is. 2 years old maybe? I just keep it under this light and let it do its thing.
Honestly I don't really have any secrets! I just use this grow light for 12-14 hours a day and it keeps it happy enough. I've never had any luck growing these guys in direct sunlight to be honest.
Thanks!
It’s called “Root Farm” and can be found here on Amazon: Root Farm 10101-10135-1 All-Purpose LED Grow Light, 45W - Broad Spectrum Grow Lamp, for Indoor Hydroponic Plants, Energy Efficient https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074SG33M2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_8j2YCb4E9WNNJ
Its expensive, but works like a dream, and you can raise and lower it as needed. My one complaint is that it doesn’t come with an automatic timer, so you have to plug and unplug it every dag.
It’s a Root Farm LED grow light! I got it on a clearance sale at my job luckily but Amazon and EBay have them! It’s a great light with barely any heat output.
I've had my lithops under this Root Farm light for 1-1/2 years with excellent results. Yes, it's expensive but I know it works.
I'm looking to increase my growing space in the next few months and am watching this discussion closely as well as doing other research. Txpep talks about grow lights in their writings, you might check that out, link below. One consideration for me is that I have to be careful not to draw too much power, so I'm primarily looking at LEDs (which the Root Farm light is).

Good luck to you!
I have the exact same greenhouse. I use this grow light on the top shelf and these lights with these covers clipped onto the shelves
Well they are in the Aerogarden Harvest Elite. But also I got the Aerogarden Grow Light — it works as a stand at adjustable height (not that tall) or it has hooks for hanging at whatever height. It’s very basis and no light switch— you have to unplug it manually every day. It’s also very very good at burning some plants even from farther away than what they recommend. But, overall if you hang it at least 6-7” away from hardly leaf plants and 10-15” away from tender ones - you get very good growth.
They are actually on sale now. I think they ripped off another company that sells identical one in silver (I only got the Aerogarden one because I like black lol)
Here are the links to both of them: $75 now ($30 off) — https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074SG33M2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_dl_GMHRN6VQ06MRZDC0PEZ9
$90 Aerogarden - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0725QBG1G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_0B2MJDW1NCBN51KD0Z8F
Never tried that one but this one is on sale and I use it to start seeds. Very bright https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074SG33M2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm_t1_teX9FbCFJHMNX
This person has some beauties posted on reddit and uses a Root farm light. 11hrs/day. the light is about 6-7 inches above the tops of the plants. Its crazy that a grow light doesn't put how many lumens that it gives off. This light has red, white and blue lights. Most people seem to use stronger lights with longer duration but these look great!
