How ever, don’t use incandescent bulbs alone because they cre ate too much heat and do not provide the proper light qual ity. Don’t put the lamps too far away from the plants, iStevens warns.

Since the lamps them selves are relatively cool, you can put the plants quite close to them without danger of burring plants.
