i can tell you that within one week of being under the 2700K light that my dormant plumie tips have sprang to life! another thing that surprised me was the root growth on a hoya cutting that i was water rooting.

you can see from this pic that you can put the light very close and not burn the plants. i have my light on for 16 hours each day. at 12 center per kwh, that's about $1 per week in electricity.

i forgot to mention that the orange end of the spectrum is responsible for flowering and the blue end of the spectrum is responsible for vegetative growth. so if you could only get one, it probably would be better to go toward 5000K - 6500K. i am seeing good results with the 2700K right now. however, it's possible it could make the plants leggy after an extended period of time. that's why i am getting the 5100K, too.
