I noted that about a year ago I was looking for some "Grow Lamps" - at
least they used to be called that. Turned out that what I found were
indeed "aquarium lights" or "true lights" - I suspect that maybe the
term "Grow Lights" got a bad reputation from the 60's when all those
people had funny looking plants growing in closets by using 'em :-)
