15 watts is ideal, 50 is probably too high. I use two small Blue LED reading lights. Your mushrooms arent taking nutrients or energy from the light so by using a 50 watt bulb your probably just going to end up getting black marks on your shrooms, raising the temperature, and drying up moisture. In my case the 2 LED's I use are like 14 watts combined and I get fruiting usually withing 2 days of turning these on.

Those aren't appropriate. You want full spectrum light, or at least light in the high end of the spectrum. A mood light with a blue lense doesn't provide that.

Just buy two of those bad boys, they work quite well for shrooms, and they wont get fucked up by humidity or anything like that.

Tomcat23

Is that system difficult to modify? Looks great except that it (by default) attaches to a computer power supply.

I have read that a 'tap light' may be acceptable, but I am still searching for answers myself.
