I’m not as knowledgeable about lights as many others, however I don’t think 9w will be able to keep much alive and well. I use these and they are strong enough to keep even light hungry hibiscus alive and growing. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TKKG8Q3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I was just going to say something very similar. While you can get a 15W LED from Sansi for around $10 (they have lots of deals right now) I wouldn't want to go less than a couple of 36W floods, and if one is going to go that far, I'd invest in the 70W square pad (Deal coming up tomorrow).

Thanks !!! I went with the 70W square pad. Only $38.99 free shipping. On amazon there was a coupon but it was still coming out to about $60!

looking forward to trying it out

I picked up a Bioluz LED A19Grow light for the plant in my veiled chameleons cage. Once I got it and plugged it in I was more worried about the light ring making him blind. Him having turret eyes I figured he would just go cross eyed staring at the light. I don't feel this would burden my Eastern Basilisks since they have eyes similar to people. Any thoughts? The bulb is softwhite 3k range 9watts. I want to keep the plant alive and not harm his eyes in the process. Oh the light is full spectrum.

I have arcadia led bar . Now a lot recommend a Sansi which I don't have .so with a plant light penartive light is important but also a light that doesn't mess with temps

The Boiluz light doesn't generate much if any heat. I have it going in my Basilisk setup right now. Still waiting to make sure he won't go blind looking up at it. I noticed it had a ring of LEDs that pumped out the light and that had me stop and not put it on my Veiled just yet.

Yeah they are super bright just saying that all lights are not equal. Arcadia lights ate focused on plants but also around reptiles where as someone could buy plant lights ( not from a reptile company or a reptile perspective, ) to force temps up . I have never heard or know your light brand .

"Full-spectrum" has become a marketing weasel word.

"Full-spectrum" is not a technical term when applied to an electrical light bulb. Rather, it implies that the product emulates some important quality of natural light.[1]

Products marketed as "full-spectrum" may produce light throughout the entire visible spectrum, but without producing an even spectral distribution. Some may not differ substantially from lights not marketed as "full-spectrum".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full-spectrum_light

3K is a temp commonly used by... erm... "growers," for higher yield—which may not necessarily be the best temperature for chameleon enclosures. I think most here might recommend something in the 6K+ range (usually 64K-65K) which promotes more (daytime) foliage growth.

Regardless, 9W grow lights are what's typically used for single plants on a desktop rather than multiple plants in an enclosure/vivarium.
