Setting Up Indoor Growing Table for Succulents

KPDevlin New York, NY Oct 11, 2021

I'm planning to set up a group of Euphorbia, Pachypodium and there tall succulents in my basement under artificial lighting. My plan is to use these bulbs (in the 5700K color temp):

I would put them in these fixtures:

Having several of these fixtures would allow me to adjust the height over the plants, some of which are 36-40" tall and others are only 10-12".

Does this seem like a plan that will work long term? The bulbs are rated for 3,645 lumens. Is this enough? Will these fixtures focus the light properly or should I find something with a reflector inside?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
