I have three 20W 2 foot florescents for my terrarium. Good enough for lowland neps and their cuttings.

I have some droseras about 2-3 inches under the florescents.

That amount of light is not good enough for butterworts and highland neps but good enough for drosera seed germination.

I use incandescent blue grow lamps for sarracenia seedlings over winter. Cool white compact flourescent are meant to be better, but I can't find any in the UK

I use 2 X 36 watts compact florescent tubes at 6500K for 16 hours a day. It get real hot in my 2' glass fish tank (up to 35ºC&#33

. Both work on electronic balast, which is not as hot as the conventional types.

I use an ultrasonic fogger (mist creator) to keep humidity up. It also serves to prevent the temperature from going any higher.
