energy saving lamp for sun worshippers
water and possibly some fertilizer, when the days are shorter in the most houseplants do not suffice, to provide them with sufficient light. A plant lamp is an ideal helpers to make your green roommates to withstand the cold and dark season. Even if the plants in corners are not enough light rays get to that in the summer months, so a plant light is a good investment. The manufacturer offers Organic Green with his plants lamp "L15" a set of energy-saving lamp, lamp, plug, and 3-meter cable. It is designed for indoor and greenhouse plants lighting and to donate enough light to encourage growing plants even in windowless, dark rooms. Whether this manufacturer information is correct, you will learn in our test. We have tested the plants light over the period of one month through its paces. After this plant lamp test, you can weigh the pros and cons of organic green energy saving plant lamp L15 and to decide whether the right plants lamp is for your needs.
Packaging and delivery
after three days delivery time the Organic Green arrived energy-saving lamp L15. The stable soda carton, which is used for the packaging, reveals not much. Inside is a not very stable smaller carton showing kept the white lamp with plants in green-colored in the background. The energy-saving lamp is protected yet once extra in a cardboard box. The rest of the delivery arrived scratch-safely protected with foam. In the box are in addition to the actual energy saving plant lamp L15:

short info about the difference between "Light" and "Light": A lamp is the whole thing, so light, version and Lampshade. Only the light source itself is the name of "Lamp".
Equipment of plants light
the plants light (lamp shade) has the dimensions: height 25 cm and 18 cm in diameter and weighs x 13 x 12 cm and is about 1 kg in weight with all the accessories. The plants light shines purple and has a power of 15 watts per hour. The base thread is an E27. According to the manufacturer, the backseat holds ten times longer than conventional bulbs - what that now means. A precise hour does the manufacturer. Because it lasts longer than a month anyway, I could not test here now too. The violet pink light emitted by the energy saving lamp is a mixture of red and blue light, which supports the photosynthesis. The energy-saving plant lamp comes complete with energy-saving lamp, a white plastic lamp, cord and plug. This is a great service. Currently less than 35 euros (in August 2016) is the energy-saving lamp on LED price level and is a bargain.
Optics and processing of plants light
processing works, despite the plastic material of the lamp, high-quality and clean. Metal would have been nice, but that's a matter of taste. The bulb itself is focused just on the needs of plants, a normal energy saving bulb, what concerns the light spectrum. An on / off switch is located on the light head and suspension cable is 3 m long. Otherwise the lamp does not differ from other H & t; ngelampen and is installed as well.
Commissioning and installation of energy saving ceiling lamp:
- remove a few millimeters of the plastic sheathing of the mains
- Plug and ceiling hook screw
- for voltage drill a hole next to the cable
- with a voltage Tester test, whether still in the pipe flow
- screw out fuse

- Insert protective earth conductor (yellow-green-striped) in a further Terminal

the practice test
failed, because I have no own Grünhaus and the summer so far rather mau have I performed the product test of bio Green L15 happy on my houseplants. The trial period was one month and the lamp was in continuous use for this test during this time. The bright purple light is not my case, but the lamp is also not for the illumination of the apartment.
The plants light and the Hibiscus
Hibiscus, which actually comes from the tropics, got so much sun with me as possible, but he blossomed had so far only once and that right after your purchase. I have indeed ensured that it never dries out and also every now and then fertilizer for flowering plants he granted except rich greenery, but unfortunately nothing to see. I already forgot what color it bloomed. At the end of the test period, I was reminded by three small red buds and forward to it when the hibiscus is show again its splendour me. It won't take long.
The growing box with cherry tomatoes
Fresh Earth, a handful of cherry tomato seeds and away to go for the test. Due to lack of green thumb had not succeeded so far me grow healthy tomato plants. One half of the flower box remained lighted only with daylight and the other half received continuous irradiation with the bio-green plant lamp. With the energy saving plant lamp small plants were after four weeks and looked across the artificially irradiated only Whitehorse, Canada small green tips from the Earth. I can not say here, how the plants will develop and whether they will bear real fruit one day, because the development process at the end of the test are not far enough progressed. The small plants looked but very healthy and promising.
Full lighting for the small bonsai
My Chinese Elm was the only one of the three test plants that showed no development. It may be due to that I the lamp had installed after a few days of one meter distance on one and a half meters. It was felt a strong heat development on small bonsai leaves and it was too dangerous. At this distance the leaves no longer warmed, but there was also no effect of the lamp on the bonsai.
Conclusion

It is offered as a cheap set with lamp, lamp and accessories for a very reasonable price and does what it should – supplies the plants with the light, that they need in order to grow and prosper. Due to very strong warming use but rather also LED technology the lamp and the sphere at a distance for green sensitive soul. After this test, I can recommend the organic green energy saving plant lamp all owners need light, heat-resistant plants from more southerly climes and seed breeding.
