		<description>Martin,

There are three things that cause brown tips on Lucky bamboo:

1) Fluoride
2) Too Much Fertilizer
3)Dry Air

Fluoride should not be a problem since you are using distilled water.  So it has to be a fertilizer or dry air problem.  Change your water and don't fertilize for a couple of months.  Lucky bamboo like to be misted every day. Since yours is under a light which can remove moisture from the air either, increase your misting or move it from under the light.  I would remove the leaves or trim the brown tips off.  Your new growth should be healthy if you follow the suggestions above.
