Are you seeing good plant growth with these ones? How is their heat output?

 

[Jpeff]

Yeah good growth. Pretty sure they jungle dawn they sell under different names. Less heat then sansi I have both. They also have on grow sights under diff names same thing.

How high, and dimensions?

+1 Sansi 70W will get you the most bang for your buck, last the longest, and has the longest warranty.

I'm still getting my stuff ready and just letting plants grow out, but I got the Sansi 100W for $49 (30% off) during their current Mother's Day Sale. They have sales fairly often apparently, so check their actual website instead of Amazon. It's very bright and hot enough (150-160+F sitting on the screen) that I might consider using it as a heat lamp instead of the classic incandescent.

Didn’t relise those senti put out that much heat if I get those I’ll probably need a dimmer

It came with a basic dial dimmer on the back, but I haven't played with it much. It seemed kind of like a toaster where 0-2 are fine tuned and everything else is just full blast.

I'd advocate for not leaving any light directly on the screen , be it t5 basking or led , the chameleon can and likely will at some point climb on the screen and then your leaving the opportunity for burns.

After reading thru this I used a temp prob and the sansi put out about 100° with the prob about and inch below on top of the screen, another prob just below the screen is reading 78. Just to verify the probes we're accurate I then switched the probe locations and got the same readings

So as long as our Basking branch is down a few inches from the screen top I don't see the LED heat becoming an issue.
