No. But definitely wasting juice.
Thank you. I've no idea how much it draws and it doesn't look too bright, would you recommend swapping it for a 10w 4000k neutral white bulb?

That or buy another of those led bulbs.

And why is that exactly?
Definitely swap it for a white bulb. Plants will most likely benefit more from it.

The new led bulbs are dangerous compared to older versions.
Once you remove that globe the risk of getting zapped increases.
I'd just take my word on it bud honestly.
I mained spacebuckets for a long time.

I didn't say I don't trust you. Just saying that, true it might be, it is still safe to hold them by the plastic "neck". Plus, you usually handle them while turned off anyways. Or I hope so... That's just common sense really

It's just a habit of mine to point it out by now.
Safety is a huge concern when it comes it spacebuckets and we cover the issue extensively over on reddit.
Granted this isn't a bucket, but the first build involved led bulbs and they're still fine we still use them but they've gotten more dangerous as they've gotten cheaper.
