Had my second carpal tunnel release surgery last week, so I couldn’t resecure the fan correctly with only one hand.
And now, the strong Cree Cob white lights are burnt out, so now I’m left with just the supplemental wavelengths and some smaller white LEDs. The Cree ones are a LITTLE strong for vegetable starters anyways. But these aren’t enough for this stage either now.
Have any (CFL) compact fluorescent lights? Those might give the spectrum you’re missing and they only use maybe 20W. At least as a temporary fix.
It’s just about time to start hardening them off anyways. Daytime temps are up to 25, but frost last night too though.

Aah, okay - I was about to ask if the redness of the light in the main photo was intentional. I’ve been enjoying your updates, so please keep 'em coming!
I don’t want to turn them back on with that one like that. I can take it apart so that one is unhooked and then I still have the one bulb (there’s one on each end of the K). It’s lasted me 5 years, being on almost every day, so time for a new better one. I already have a pretty good one already for my other tent. So not like I’m down and out.
This was a “cheap” Amazon one. Being ~$200 instead of $800 for the same spectrums.
