I think that I read this in Hoya form but I was think about this and wondered if this wood work?
At Holiday time or I think any time you can buy rope lites in all different colors and I was thinking I did use thr rope Lites under my cabnets to lite it up a bit but wath about connectting to plant stands I also reat that a 3 foot rope lite is about 17 or 18 watts has anyone tryed this I will go and see if I can find what I read about the lite. I also think that if you have starters that wood heat them also.
Question about Rope Lights for AV Shelfs
Ok I found the site but this will make a heat matt with the rope lights
www.gardengrapevine.com
I wonder if it will work on the plants that need the lite

I just hit the web andfound out that when site opens go to garden and things scroll down to Bottom Heaters and click

Thanks. I'd heard about that and completely forgot till you mentioned it.
That's a great link! Heatherjoy found it a while back, too, and I put it into an upcoming article on heat mats. I think the rope lights would provide heat for your AVs, but I don't know if they'd provide a significant amount of light. They do give off light, but they don't seem bright compared to the lights on my stand.
I think that the plant lite have more wattage then the rope but I am not working as I have a seasonal job in construction and the road crew is layed off for now It won't hurt if I try the lite around the shelfs if anything I will be ables to see when it is dark and that gets to be dark out about 4:45pm I going to try and see what happens either it works or I get a high electric bill

Kim,
It will look very pretty around your plants.... Hey why were they not up when I came??? I could never find the light switch..LOL
Hugs,

I don't really see a big electric bill difference with 8 gro light stands in the house...... That would be 4 48" gro lights to a stand or 32 48" gro lights and I can only see a difference of maybe 15 or 20.00 a month. That is a lot of joy for me for 15 bucks a month.
