ive removed the light now, only problem is i cant really put it back due to the fact the plants are now both in large pots. However, i have another lamp that i have managed to find. i'll upload a photo now, CFL think. Ignore the ball shaped lamp i'll rig it securely somehow above the plant.
I have the lampside ways now with the bulb about two inches above the plant. Light seems to be covering her fine. Just hope this will do. Cheers for all the advice!
