Lighting for vivarium plants

I'd definitely recommend using LED spotlights! It creates a "sunbeam through the canopy" effect that's pretty sweet

After seeing how they provide light. I tend to agree with christian. I think led spotlighting would definitely look cool. You might get a better spread with t5 lighting, but you could use the led's to accentuate certain areas while providing some shade areas as well. Looks like it's gonna be dependent on your budget. Of course, you could always do both.
