A tall, floor-standing LED grow lamp that can be used as a regular living room lamp?

[MonsterMagnet]

What I mean is something that doesn't look like this...



...but more like this...



There are plenty out there but I'm also aware of the fact that much of what's available is junk, regardless of all the fancy, techy jargon.

The one above has these specs...

100w
4/8/12 hour timer
Full spectrum of 380-780nm
38-165cm adjustable height
Plant bulb parameters: 100W, 4000K, CRI: 98+, PPFD: 1402μmol/㎡/s
Lumen: 88480LuX, PAR: 30% (close to sunlight, 35% PAR for winter sun)

Any good?

I need something that works in a living space & I don't want to have to hang anything from the ceiling.
I'm all ears if people have any other recommendations

Are you just using it for light, or for growing? The problem is for growing it's fixed height, not adjustable.

Sorry, the title isn't so clear (edited). I want it as a grow lamp for potentially tall plants. Then I could also use it as a regular lamp, when I'm not growing (although it isn't dimmable like others, unfortunately).

It is adjustable though, just not hugely versatile but I can work around that, if need be...

 

[MonsterMagnet]

Anyone else got any thought on this?

You could veg a tall spindly feeble plant with it but that's about it

This is a NextLight 150H mounted to one of the weighted light poles that come with a iHarvest system.
You could pick any decent led and mount it to a stand / pole of choice.
If your using it as viewing light I'd get something based on all white diodes like the Nextlights
P.S. NextLight is no more but you can grab a 150H for $100 delivered on LED Grow Lights Depot currently as well as sweet deals on the other NextLight fixtures

Am I going mad? Are these two links for the same product, but one is over 3 times the price?

I wanted something similar for years for my aquarium that had plants growing out the top. Decorative but highly functional, unfortunately I never found one, you could bastardise a floor standing lamp of your choice with horticultural grade flexible strips of led but I'd much prefer plug and play too

 

[OneHitDone]

These are kinda nice. Not sure on the efficiency though

You could make something from like a boom cymbal stand from a drum set and then find an "artsy" way of hanging a decent light from it. That way, you could adjust the height, at least.

I had a similar thing in mind & you can actually get lamp stands like you describe. Kinda ugly though.

Now that I've found the above bulbs I'm gonna just buy a floor standing reading lamp with a big enough shade...



I have one already & it's very adjustable (and it'll sit nicely in a corner of our living room when the plants are grown & harvested).

I'm just wondering if one of these bulbs will be enough for 3-4 small plants. You can get weird adapters that hold 2 or 3 bulbs but they may be harder to attach to a regular lamp fitted with a shade...

No

No

No what?

I'd need more than one? Is there an alternative that's a single bulb powerful enough?

No, You can't grow 3-4 plants with two tiny bulbs.

You need 30-50w per square foot of space.

I'm wary of some of the Amazon offerings as many are coming from China with zero regulations, confused technical information & potentially the cause of a fucking house fire!!

Nothing wrong with that for seedlings.
But with that type of inefficient light you need a lot more than you would compared to other grow light types.

OK, I've spent all day reading about bulbs & it's doing my head in! I guess I'm coming round to the fact that a single E27 bulb for effectively flowering cannabis plants doesn't exist.
I'm still looking for something with a floor-stand but can anybody recommend something that will effectively illuminate about 1m²...

Something like this...



I'm in Europe but I'm happy to hear from you lot stateside. I might be able to find a European alternative

315 cmh in a parabolic reflector (I think that's what it's called, one of those umbrella ones) might look cool if you can get the right stand for it, look at photography light stands, I see a lot of those about these days, kinda industrial looking ? Forgive me I'm no interior designer
