One problem, though. "30W" is actually 7 watts because Chinese manufacturers often lie about the wattages of their lights and Amazon reviewers are too dumb to measure the wattage like I did. Anyway, I used them:
The lights are mounted on a wooden board that I normally temporarily put up to brace the polycarbonate sheets for the weight of accumulated snow. You don't see more of these braces because it hasn't snowed, yet. Ha, ha. The lights are connected to a 24VDC power supply that is connected to a photocell that is connected to a timer that is connected to a 120VAC outlet. The photocell turns the lights off when daylight is bright. The timer turns on to mimic the period of light (16 hrs.) during summer solstice where I live. |
Decent set up tucked out of the way in the rafters.
Another forum member Nealnik was using an off-road light bar as a supplemental light for his indoor grow.
If the do not work out you can always install them on the Buick and go mudding.
I see you have holes in the cross beam supports for some additional inexpensive LED drop pendants in you wish.
With LED's one has to understand the fine print concerning equivalent watt output vs watts used, I too have been confused before.
I noticed the ventilation is using double box fans to circulate the air. Does one push and the other pull the air in the summer months?
Looks a bit nippy up there today.
