A 6500k grow light would help you out tons if you are getting plants that need a lot of lighting.

lights
I have the typical set up 24x24x48 enclosure with a scheflera in there. I was using the 6500kv tube but it just wasn't working out. I ordered a Jungle Dawn LED spotlight from site sponsor Light Your Reptiles. While the light was expensive ($79), it seems to have made the plant perk up within 2 days. It also puts out a really nice crisp light that makes my chams colors really pop out. I know that's expensive, but they are supposed to last quite some time from what Todd at LYR told me. I ordered another one yesterday I was so happy with the first. Also they put out no heat whatsoever.
p.s. if your interested in the Jungle Dawn spots you need to directly email Light Your Reptiles, they aren't on the website yet. I learned about them from Todd because I asked him some questions and he mentioned them. The one with the one purple led is what I ordered.
