How Important is Selection of LED Lights for Bioactive Terrarium?

[Zlo98]

I am wanting to make a bioactive terrarium out of a Reptile Basics 18x34x18 PVC enclosure and was wondering if I need to get a heavy duty LED bar that puts out a lot of lumens or if the LED bar that can be bought with the enclosure is enough? I am awaiting a reply from Reptile Basics to find out the lumen output of the LED but wanted to know if anyone had any experience with this? Does the lumen output even matter or no? Apologies if this is a pointless question but would appreciate any feedback as I want to set this enclosure up right.

You need a full spectrum grow light here is what I use which is more than sufficient for plant growth

Obviously not all LED will work

I only use one which is good enough for the plants I have my cages are however vertical.

So it will depends on your cage where the plants are etc.
