Which one of these should I use for herbs?

I use one pink looking Philips “plant and aquarium” and an old off brand white plant light. I think the sylvania plant light is the best but only because it has detailed specifications as to the wavelength it emits and none of the other ones have that available. I grow cilantro, dill, basil, thyme and lemongrass and it grows super fast as long as you keep the lights as close to the plant as possible because the intensity of light drops off as an inverse of the distance squared so moving twice as far away is giving the plant a fourth the amount of light. Almost any light will work but you want a fluorescent type because it is way cheaper to use and won’t burn the plant if it is too close. It costs me $4 a month to use 4 40 watt bulbs 18 hours a day. What type of plant are you growing? I would recommend using one “soft” and one “white” unless it is a tropical plant.

I forgot to mention that I use T-12 bulbs which are the long tubes. If you plan on growing all the things you mentioned the bulbs you have posted are not going to work very well unless you use one for each plant and even if you do that much of the light will be wasted and not even be used by the plant.

Obviously you plan to grow indoors, where and how much space do you have? If at all possible I recommend you get tube type lights because if you use a bulb the plants not directly under it will lean to the light and fall over, and using many bulbs means many fixtures and would cost more and be less efficient than using one shop light with two bulbs.

The best type of bulbs are actually T-5 because they have the smallest surface area and emit more light for the amount of power they use but they are more difficult to find in a store. If you dont mind ordering them online that is definitely the way to go. T-5 (5/8″ diameter), T-8 (1″ diameter), and T-12 (1.5″ diameter) refers to the diameter of the bulb. If you have a 5/8″, 40 watt bulb it emits more light per unit surface area of the bulb than a 1″ or 1.5″ 40 watt bulb.
