Thanks!

No, that is the one I had from last year. Once I get the third LED set up, that one will used for seedlings, as it's a piss poor 5,000 Lumens, with a max range of about 12-18 inches. I will use it on the shelf when I germinate my tomatoes and various cuttings. For the moment, its just some supplemental lighting. I plan on having full sized tomato plants in there, along with bushy potato plants, so I need a very bright light as close to the sun as I can get, with a distance of several feet.

It's amazing, as bright as that lighting is, I have it all facing down, so with the bottom window blocked, the amount of light radiating into the back yard looks like a dim fluorescent bulb! Before I did that, you could have applied makeup at 60 feet.
