Wow, that should actually work. Good luck dude.

 

[vraev]

thanx

can't wait to see the first red traps.

 

[nepenthes_freak]

Well 27 watt is a little weak. Can you upgrade to 40?

 

[vraev]

nope actually...its a single watt rated desk lamp.

However, the lumens itself is 2 times that of the regular tube lights I have seen.

also it has the required temp, CRI index, full spectrum.

 

[nepenthes_ak]

nepenthes_freak, it use's 27 watt's to imitate 100 watt's I have 2 of those lamps and use it for pictures but I could use it to grow my plants if I wanted to. Good choice!

Would be nice If they built in a timer for it!
