Best LED lighting for bioactive?

[MrMoyb]

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond!
This is all really helpful information and I’ve been trying to do as much research as I can before making the decision to take the plunge on this. So I really appreciate the insight. There’s so much conflicting information online so it’s hard to narrow it down, but one consistent thing about setting up a naturalistic enclosure with live plants at the very minimum involves a lot of trial and error.

I think the term “bioactive” is a double edged sword in the industry because while it can be a fun, rewarding (and expensive) way to observe and appreciate nature it’s also been turned into a buzzword that for some reason people deem as the “best” way to keep BPs and other snakes, which is just not true.

Yeah, you might notice I avoid using the B word when talking about this stuff. It's a newer term (at least in this usage) that I believe carries some baggage and was popularized by internet personalities looking to ultimately make money.

On that same note, a lot of your search results will probably be top hits on popular youtube channels and websites trying to sell you stuff. Or total noobs showing a picture of their VERY newly setup "bioactive" enclosure. Getting advice from several experienced keepers can be tough to come by, but forums like this tend to have more time-tested and animal-need-focused methods.
