I'm just a little confused :) Are you saying that the light will fry
the plants or do you mean that the heat from the light will fry the
plants. When I started growing CP's indoors I was advised to give the
plants as much light as possible with out cooking them with the heat
(both convective and radiant) of the lights. Do you think that there
is an optimal level of brightness for Nep's and that if you go even
brighter than this optimal level the plant suffers? I'm starting to
build my 3rd generation terrarium and I would really like to get the
light right this time.
