Im a bit of a light expert and have been growing indoors for years. If you are interested and can work with simple electricity I can point you in the right direction as far as building some good lights that will outperform those blurple ones by 10x.</p><p></p><p>I just built this new light 2 weeks ago, the power supplies are adjustable, at its lowest setting it uses about 250 watts at the plug, full power it takes 650 watts, it is a BEAST.</p><p></p><p>[ATTACH]51373[/ATTACH]</p><p></p><p>[ATTACH]51374[/ATTACH]</p><p></p><p>Price breakdown:</p><p><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">MEAN WELL USA Inc. / HLG-320H-54A x 2 = $233</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">QB96 Elite V2 Engine × 4 = $252</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">24x30 sheet scrap aluminum = $10</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">20ft white extension cord = $14</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">Misc parts and wire approx $20</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">Total= $529</span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">You can build quality lights cheaper, but really you get what you pay for, as with just about everything in life.

You can still let your grow area cool down at night, but while the lights are on, warmer temps will make your plants happier.</span></p></blockquote><p></p>
