[QUOTE="Lycanthrope, post: 157258, member: 562"] Yeah, most are LED's I built myself. Its pretty easy and much more efficient, also takes up less space, no replacing bulbs necessary, etc. I dont bother making super pretty lights, but they work very good! The cucs and tomatoes/peppers are under a 220w, four cob fixture. If you are interested I could give some tips. Pic from a couple weeks ago...
