Yes, I am using them too. I grow Utrics under them and some VFTs.
They are doing well, e.g. what concerns growing. However, hardly any
of them (not even U.sandersonii) really likes to blossom under this
light. I just added a 40 W light bulb (some special Neodym something
/ made in Finland). I report if this triggers flowers.
I jsut forgot: P.emarginata and U.monanthos in contrast like this
light. P.emarginata is now continously blossoming since last year's
summer! (Thanks to Jan and his kind donation. It fills now a 15 cm
pot! It also (if I bother to pollinate) gives very fertile seeds. ANybody
interested ?)
I also noticed that there are different brands sold, e.g. coldwhite/
warmwhite. Earlier (or other brands) are not labelled with respect
of the type of light.
