BYC Café

I use 4' 2 bulb florescent fixtures,but keep my fixtures about 4 - 6" above the plants. Candle power diminishes exponentially the further away it is from the plants so less bulbs are needed this way. Plants need seasonal light anyway, less on short daylight seasons, as much as they need a dark cycle every night. So you can take that into consideration when trying to save your energy dollars.

Yes'm I've got a small indoor garden here with 3 daylight LEDs and it works pretty good with no major surge in electricity. Plants are close to the bulbs and I turn them on and off at dawn and dusk. I just want to upgrade!
 
Morning Cafe!
A tad below freezing here, so I’ll grab a cup of that potato soup and my coffee and head to my corner chair. Have a lovely day all!
No need to sit in the corner...we don't bite! :lau
