Grow light for plants

[75mixedreef]

A little off topic, but I really don't know where to go for current information I could trust and this seems fairly related. I was looking into grow lights for my fuge when I got to thinking about an herb garden on my counter. I have been looking at those 45W LED square fixtures on Amazon and was wondering if that would work. I was planning on a 36W LED bulb for my small fuge and thought maybe a 45W fixture would work for potted plants. I need something flat because it is going under the cupboard in the corner and I don't have much height.

Does anyone have any experience with this? I want to keep this cheap and just for a couple herbs so any help would be appreciated. I want to stick with LED and I'm thinking it will be around 1 foot from fixture to plant, so I don't think I need anything extreme.

I wouldn't say I'm the king of DIY but I like to try my hand. The issue here though is I want it to be aesthetically pleasing because it is in the kitchen.

I might give those a try. $40 is not too much to spend, but I don't want to be stuck with junk.
