Umbrella plant losing leaves like crazy on back side (schefflera arboricola)

He has become extremely active since putting this light in, he is all over his enclosure now where he would previously only hang out in the upper area, primarily in his basking area. He is also staying up later; he would previously be in bed by 6:30-7PM, and now he is awake until the lights go out at 11pm. I also see him drinking a lot more, I am guessing he was not able to see water droplets as easily prior to putting in this light. I guess my T5 & household 60w bulb were providing enough light for him.

Cool, sounds about the same as I've seen over the last several months.

Tons of new shoots on the plant after adding this light!

Awesome! I'm happy I came across those bulbs back when I did. For the price, they are decent little bulbs.

Thanks to @dshuld
