Will a regular light bulb help plants grow?

We Answered:

If the plants that are suffering in the shade are ones that prefer full sun, the LED lights won't help. LEDs that are used to light pathways at night are not intense enough.

Same with your indoor plants. If low light is OK for them, the artificial light will be fine. If they need more intense light, adding low light for a few more hours per day will do nothing for them.

If you have plants that require intense light, give it to them at night when no one is around to be disturbed by the light. That is, provided you can close to door and not be bothered by any light that leaks through cracks around the door.

Can I use regular AA batteries on a solar walkway light instead of rechargeable ones?

We Answered:

I do it all the time. they won't recharge and the light will be a little brighter but that's it. I have four large outdoor globes with lights inside and for some reason the solar panel won't work so I just use good ol' regular batteries. They last about two and a half weeks.
