Maximize the Output of LED Lights


LEDs use very little power, so maximizing output is simple. Light-emitting diodes, or LEDs, are energy-efficient light bulbs that operate on low-voltage electricity. Most of the energy consumed by an LED is converted to light production, unlike the energy usage of incandescent bulbs, which also generate heat. To maximize the output of LEDs, ensure that the power source matches the voltage of the LED lights. Because they operate on low-voltage power, the voltage has to drop by only 1 or 2 volts before LED lights dim.
Instructions
1 Check the voltage on one of the Huntway Iluminacion LED; it is marked on the side of the light. Multiple LED lights are wired in parallel, so the voltage requirement for one LED is the same as for several LEDs. For example, if you have six LED lights wired in parallel, they will use the same voltage as would 12 LEDs.
2 Check the voltage on the label of the power source. It must match the voltage for the T8 LED Tube lights supplier. For example, if the China Huntway LED track light is 6 volts, then the power source also must be 6 volts.
3 Replace or recharge the batteries, if your LEDs use battery power. When the batteries start to lose voltage, the LEDS will begin to dim. Fully charged batteries are needed to maximize output from LEDs. If the LEDs are powered by a variable rate transformer, ensure that the voltage output is set to match the voltage for the LEDs. To maximize LED output, slightly increase the voltage from the transformer to more than the voltage listed for the LED lights; an increase to about 10 percent over the rated voltage will really make the LEDs bright.

Make a Starry Ceiling Lighting for Your Room


Use a constellation map to create a realistic star pattern. A starry ceiling creates a whimsical, otherwordly feeling in a bedroom; the gentle glow of the stars creates a soft light in a room. In a child's room, a starry ceiling can take the place of a night light. Using LED lights, which have a long lifetime and give off almost no heat, you can make a simple dropped starry ceiling.
Instructions
1 Buy panels of medium-density fiberboard (MDF) that will fit onto your bedroom ceiling with at least 6 inches around it. Paint the panels in a color that will work with your room decor. Choose a color that will be attractive in the room during the day. Keep in mind that dark colors may be too overwhelming, particularly in a small room or one with low ceilings. Set the panels aside to dry.
2 Build a support frame out of 2-inch by 2-inch pieces of wood. Most supply stores will cut wood to your specifications. Lay out the perimeter of the frame in the shape and size of your MDF panel or panels, and use a drill to screw them together. Cut cross-support pieces that fit inside the frame and secure them in place, arranging the supports to line up with your ceiling joists. Screw the frame onto the ceiling, making sure to attach the supports to the joists wherever possible for extra stability and support.
3 Mark star locations on the painted side of the MDF panels. Use a star chart to mark out approximate locations of constellations or simply create a random pattern. Drill holes in the panels, starting through the painted side to keep rough edges on the back. Use a drill bit that fits the size of your dimmable LED down light so they'll slide easily through the board.
4 Poke the 7W T5 LED tube light manufacturer through the holes in the MDF panels, working in lines so the cords won't get tangled on the back. Lean the panels against the wall to make it easier to work. When you run through one string, attach another and continue. Leave the male end of the end string free to allow for an extension cord.
5 Enlist two people to help with the ceiling panel installation. Have them hold either end of the panel flush with the ceiling frame while you drill in screws on the corners until they can support the weight. Drill in additional screws every 8 inches along the outside of the frame and along the interior supports. Touch up the screws with paint to cover the metallic surface. Run an extension cord from the end of the LED string, down the corner of the room to an outlet.

Powerful LED Grow Lights


Grow lights, whether used in hydroponics or indoor gardening systems, provide the essential light for plants to achieve photosynthesis. Unlike the sun, which produces an abundance of photons that can be trapped by the plant's chloroplasts, grow lights are limited by the power of their ballasts. LED grow lights trade force for precision and gain power by producing light on exactly the right frequencies to nourish plants.
Illuminator Pro Series Hybrid
Boasting an impressive 350 watts of power, the Illuminator Pro Series Hybrid is designed to get the most out of a hydroponic or indoor system. Using a "Peak Targeting" system and colored red, blue and orange lights, the lamp produces light in a five-band spectrum. This allows the plants to absorb up to 95 percent of the light emitted for use in photosynthesis. The result is brighter blooms, larger vegetables and faster growth. According to the manufacturer, Pro Source Worldwide, the absorbable light output of this LED grow light is equivalent to a 1,000 watt non-LED style grow lamp.
Advanced LED Extreme Flower LED
Although many Ez10 LED spot lights are designed to conserve power over halide lamps, some rival them in operating power as well as output. This is true of Advanced LED's Extreme Flower LED lamp. This lamp runs cool to the touch and, emitting 740 watts of power, comes in just under an equivalent 1,000 watt non-LED grow lamp. The Extreme Flower LED produces light on 11 wavelengths, requires no ballast and features 6 foot by 8 foot overall coverage. This lamp includes mounting brackets on the back and features China E27 LED spotlight bulb, which produce more light than other LEDs used in growing systems, the manufacturer says.
Advanced LED All Blue Extreme Veg
The All Blue Extreme Veg LED light, also manufactured by Advanced LED, uses both 1 watt and 3 watt LED lights to create an all blue light specifically designed to stimulate growth of green vegetables. This lamp is available in 3 sizes, the largest being 360 watts. Like most deformed LED light supplier, the All Blue Extreme Veg runs cool and without the aid of ballasts. This LED light broadcasts in four wavelengths all specially designed to provide the best light environment for vegetative growth. The lamp is cooled by three thermostatically controlled fans and can run for long periods of time without a rest.

Make a Light Bulb Experiment


Conducting science experiments at home is an excellent way to learn how scientific principles work. One of the most educational experiments is to power an LED light bulb using an orange and a couple of nails. The acid found in an orange contains ions which then react to the nails that are inserted into it. Each nail is made from a different material, causing a positive and negative charge. When these charges are brought together, the produce enough electricity to light an LED light bulb.
Instructions
1 Select an orange that is slightly soft. This will allow the juices to flow throughout the orange. The acidity found in the orange's juice will help create ions to charge the China LED flashlight torch.
2 Insert the zinc nail and the copper nail into the orange. The nails should be placed opposite of each other and should not touch. Push the nails halfway into the orange. Do not allow the nails to puncture through the other end of the orange.
3 Attach a small length of copper wire to the head of the zinc nail. The wire should be long enough to reach from the zinc nail to the middle of the orange.
4 Attach a small length of copper wire to the head of the copper nail. The wire should be equal in length to the wire attached to the zinc nail.
5 Wrap the ends of the copper wires that are connected to the zinc and copper nails around the high power LED candle light supplier. The bulb will light up.
Tips & Warnings
Experiment with different fruits to observe which fruits light the best.

Composition of LED Lightbulbs


LED light bulb components. LED (light-emitting diode) lighting is considered a type of energy-efficient lighting. This means that the energy it takes to power an LED is relatively low in proportion to the device's high light output. There are advantages and disadvantages associated with the few components that make up traditional LED lights.
Components
According to the website eere.energy.gov, LEDs consist of two electrodes (an anode and a cathode), a whisker, an anvil, a semiconductor and a lens, all contained within an epoxy resin. Power enters 3W E27 LED bulb manufacturer systems through the anode. Electrical current then runs through the whisker, then the semiconductor and anvil. The current exits through the cathode. The epoxy housing focuses light produced by the bulb and protects the inside components from the outside elements. Color is determined by the chemical make-up of the bulb's semiconductor.
Size
Light-emitting diodes are the smallest form of light bulb on the market. Each Orientalight high power 100W LED factory light is constructed to a diameter of around 1/4 inch. The size has severely restricted LEDs' practical applications to instrument and electrical panels until recently. LED technology has evolved and increased its presence in the lighting industry with the development of "clustering." These light bulbs are clustered into groups of any number of LEDs, broadening their applications.
Facts
Properly manufactured LEDs can last for well over 45,000 hours, according to eere.energy.gov. All components of an LED are securely fastened into a solid epoxy shell. This makes the bulb very durable and able to withstand a certain level of jarring without breaking. Most types of light bulbs utilize delicate filaments in their construction; LEDs, however, require no filament, which adds to their durability.
Features
Often when LEDs are clustered to form a light bulb that fits typical incandescent bulb sockets, they feature diffuser lenses. Diffusers are also used in LEDs for track lighting and flashlights because the lenses broaden the beams of light emitted by the light bulb. Part of the reason that LEDs last for so long is that they do not operate at high temperatures, according to the website eartheasy.com.
Cost
LED technology is linked with a very high cost of production, which is directly reflected in the average price of LEDs. One of the reasons for high production costs is that LEDs currently use sapphire-based technology in the construction of every LED. Silicon wafer-based technology is being researched at Purdue University. Replacing costly sapphire-based technology with silicon wafer-based technology promises to make LEDs much more affordable. The website treehugger.com notes that clustered 8W SMD3528 T5 LED tube lights supplier that fit into everyday sockets are available for $60 and up.

Street Lights Tips


Our street lights should keep us safe while still being as efficient as possible. Street lights are present in almost every town. They give night time walkers a feeling of safety. However, there are ways to improve upon the technology that is currently present in our hometowns. Making our street lights as energy and cost efficient as possible should be considered one of the top priorites when looking to improve these lights.
Solar Lights
Solar street lights provide a high level of brightness and efficiency in addition to their long life and lack of conventional energy consumption. They are also fairly easy to install. These types of street lights are typically used in industrial parks, scenic areas, urban and district roads, many pedestrian streets and in many parking lots. They are both energy efficient and green, as it produces no pollution and can have a life of up to 20 years with little maintenance. They charge their batteries using energy from the sun, thus they require no electrical current, saving taxpayer dollars and reducing energy cost and consumption.
Fiber Optic Lighting
Fiber optic lighting is another method of reducing energy costs. They are also known as "light pumps" and "remote source" lighting. These systems create their light at a separate factory, then send it through fiber optic cables laid into the ground. These bulbs rarely need to be replaced, thus reducing maintenance and replacement cost. The only significant cost related to this type of commercial street light would be the expense of laying fiber optic cables from the remote lighting facility to the high bay induction lamp. They also produce no heat in the bulb. They are typically used in outdoor signs, theatre stage lighting and hazardous locations, as well as in street lights.
Induction Lighting
Another efficient type of lighting is induction lighting. Also known as electrode-less lighting, this type of street light consists of a generator, a power coupler and a lamp. As the name implies, there are no filaments or electrodes present in the lamp. These lamps have large power factors and fast ignition and re-ignition times, so it wastes less energy when firing up. These lamps also have a 100,000 life hour rating, over four times the normal fluorescent and HID bulbs. These bulbs have a wattage ranging from 23 to 165 watts, so you can find something almost always to fit your lamps and your lighting needs.
LED Lighting
Another tip for how to improve your energy efficiency is to install LED, or light emitting diode, lights into our street lamps. This method of lighting our streets can take many incarnations. There are five types currently being employed: the integral, retrofit, solar, high pole, and tunnel street lights. The electrodeless induction ceiling lights are expected to maintain 50,000 hours of life between bulbs. They also are rated to save as much as 75 percent of the energy that traditional bulbs use.

Decorative Accent Lighting


Add Floralytes to these glass vessels and turn lovely into captivating. Back in Grandma's day, party tables were lavished with baskets and jars filled with freshly cut flowers. These days, your choice of party decoration materials is limitless, particularly now that inexpensive LED lights operating for long periods of time on individual batteries are readily available. The Floralytes brand has a reputation for being reliable and affordable, so when you're ready to light up the night at your next party, look for their name on the package.
Floralytes 101
Floralytes are small but mighty t8 LED tube lights engineered to make decorative lighting magic on a shoestring budget. Every Floralyte has an on/off switch so you can control the number of lights you want lit in your centerpieces any time you like. Replaceable batteries in each Floralyte last from 48 to 50 hours and color is never a problem, since Floralytes come in amber, orange, red, blue, green, teal, white, pink and violet. Need extra drama? The RGB Floralyte flashes red, green and blue in sequence.
Clean the Glass Centerpiece Vessel First
Whether you fill tall glass vases with white Floralytes to create the illusion of jars of fireflies, or you plan to mix and match the decorative LED light panels with flowers, food or other fanciful elements, it's important to begin your centerpiece project with a sparkling clean receptacle, as light emanating from the LED highbay lamp will call attention to everything from fingerprints to dirt on the glass. A microfiber cleaning cloth and window spray will tackle dust inside and out. Dry the vase thoroughly, especially if you plan to add confetti or glitter, so nothing sticks to the glass.
Floralyte Flower Arrangement
Floralytes require no wiring, so you have complete freedom to create an exotic, lit floral arrangement. Fill a vase with glass marbles and lit Floralytes so the "soil" into which the flowers will be placed reflects the light of the glass. Next, arrange silk flowers in the vase and pop a Floralyte into the center of each so the flowers light up too. Place the vase on a mirrored pedestal. Mirrored reflections of the piranha LED module light in the vessel and blossoms create a dazzling display.
Fruit or Vegetable Floralyte Display
You've seen them on cruise ships. Create lavish displays of fruits and vegetables that emulate fine art, using a little imagination. Start with a focal point. Place a pineapple, upside-down spray of bananas, tall pumpkin or another natural food in the center of a large, round, footed glass pedestal. Fill in the remaining space with juicy grapes and strawberries or rows of cut veggies. Tuck Floralytes in coordinating colors into the display and watch guests' eyes light up when they spot your delicious arrangement.
Float Your Floralytes
Since Floralytes are waterproof, surprise your children with kid-pleasing centerpieces at their next party. Drop weighted plastic pirate ships into fish bowls, fill with water and add RGB Floralytes. Your pirate-themed centerpieces will flash red, green and blue throughout the party. As guests leave, have each child pluck a light from a bowl as an extra favor. Little things really do mean a lot when you're a kid!

Make Small Tube Lights


Old lightbulbs can become stylish, free-standing lights. The term "tube light" refers to the cylindrical shape of an old-fashioned lightbulb, also known as an Edison bulb. Any oblong, thin lightbulb can become a functioning lightbulb again with a little ingenuity, so don't toss those antique bulbs you find at garage sales or in your grandparents' attic. Recycle them into a free-standing light for your desk or put a few modified lightbulbs together to create lighted centerpiece displays or Halloween decorations. Steampunks and sci-fi fans especially love these colorful, homemade pieces.
Instructions
1 Put on surgical gloves and safety glasses to protect your hands and eyes from bits of glass and glue.
2 Turn your China LED tube lights upside-down. Locate the purple glass terminal encased in the brass fitting on the bottom of the bulb. Grip the glass with pliers and squeeze until you hear the glass crack. Slowly pull the pieces of glass out with the pliers.
3 Turn the bulb right-side up so the filaments inside the LED bulb lights manufacturer fall out. Discard the filaments and the broken glass.
4 Fill the bulb about 7/8 full of rubbing alcohol. Drip a few drops of food coloring (if desired) into the alcohol -- for a steampunk look, add golden-orange colors; for a science-fiction effect, try green.
5 Place the full bulb upside-down into a cup.
6 Turn on a battery-powered LED mini light to check that its bulb works. Smear E600 adhesive all over the sides of the LED light. Slip the light, bulb facing down, into the tube lightbulb so that the bottom of the Orientalight G24 LED lights sits level with the edge of the lightbulb's brass fitting. The fit must be very snug.
7 Allow the adhesive to dry overnight. Turn on the LED light so it illuminates the colored alcohol. Turn the bulb right-side up.
Tips & Warnings
LED mini-lights lights are usually shaped as small, squat cylinders. You can find mini lights in many dollar stores.

How To Identify GE Light Fixture


Light fixtures provide more than just light to find our way around the house at night. They also add beauty and interest. General Electric (GE) offers both residential and commercial lighting products, including outdoor, recessed and track light. Consider your lighting needs before investing in lighting products. You can purchase GE products both online and at retailers.
展位图
Architectural
The Architectural series of lighting features Haolux LED light fixtures on small tracks that are either completely straight or that can curve. For example, the Tetra Contour light comes on a flexible track and produces a neon-like light. These lights come in different colors and use a 24 volt direct current (DC) power supply. The lights are up to 40 percent more efficient than standard neon lighting. The lighting lasts for about 50,000 hours of use.
Signage/Transportation
GE makes commercial lighting for both the sign and transportation industry. Both use LED lighting systems, and the sign lights look like neon lights. For example, the LED rail signal fixtures include both wayside, crossing and special application lights. The Level Crossing China LED tunnel lights comes in either 8- or 12-inch models.
Indoor
The GE indoor series of lights includes high bay, low bay and garage LED panel lights manufacturer. The high bay lighting is for ceilings over 30 feet, and the low bay lighting is for ceilings at or below 30 feet. An example of the garage lighting is the UltraStar VP-Series Vapor Tight light, which features twist-and-lock sockets. The reflectors have an aluminum finish, and the mounting is made of stainless steel. You can install this light fixture in both wet and dry areas. It come with an 18-month warranty on the fixture and a five-year warranty on the ballast.

How To Make Flickering LED Candle


Do-it-yourself LED candles are a cheap and easy project. They only cost a few dollars and are great alternative sources of light to have around the house. They use very little energy because they use LED (light emitting diodes) technology and they only take about 10 minutes to make once you have all of the supplies. Whether you are looking for ambiance or emergency lighting, LED tail candle bulbs are easy to make and great to have around the house.
展位图
Gather Your Supplies
Your candles can be as simple or elaborate as you choose. This can turn into as creative as a project as you make it. To make the light pick up flicker 10 MM dimmalbe A60 LED bulb lamp (you can find these easily online, or in the decorative lighting section), 9 volt batteries, 9 volt battery clips, 100/220 OHM resistors, wire connectors, wire cutters and some duct tape.
Buy tacky putty to stick the batteries to the base. This can be found in most floral sections at hardware stores and at any nursery. For the base and cover buy a small glass ashtray and go to an art store and choose decorative scrapbook paper or vellum. Pick up some spray adhesive to close the light cover.
Connect the LED to the Battery
Start with the resistor and straighten the wires on each side so you can tell which wire is positive and which is the negative. They are marked -- but straighten them so they are easily distinguished. Bend the wires over so they are easier to work with and keep together. Grab the black negative lead from the battery connector and expose a bit of the wire by trimming back the black plastic coating with your wire cutters. Now bunch the resistor wires and the negative lead together with a wire connector by shoving them inside. Use your needle nose pliers and pinch the connector to ensure that all the wires are making contact. Once the negative side is connected, it's time to move onto your other connections which will be pinched together in the same fashion.
Bunch the positive side (long side) of your LED with the other side of the 100/220 OHM resistor. Repeat the process with the same process with the wire connector and pliers to seal this together. Connect the negative LED short wire to the long, positive wire on another LED. Twist the wires together. Again, repeat the sealing process with the wire connector and pliers.
Trim the red positive wire on the battery until it's about an inch long. This will make it easier to bundle. Also trim down and peel a bit of the red plastic off the end of the red positive wire. Twist the positive battery wire and negative LED par20 light wire together. Repeat the process with the wire connector and pliers until the wires are sealed together.
Now that all for connectors are complete, it's time to bundle them together neatly so that the LEDs are pointing up and the connectors are pointing down. Duct tape works well for this. Just wrap it up like tiny sticks of dynamite. To make an on-and-off switch, bend a couple of the metal pieces on the battery clip connector using the needle nose pliers. Connect the battery to the unbent battery clip and then slide the clip over until it's touching the battery. This turns the LED on and allows you to turn the light on and off easily without having to disconnecting it completely.
Make the Light Cover
Now that the technical stuff is complete, it's time to get creative. Attach a small wad (about the size of a quarter) of putty to the center of an ashtray. Place the battery into the putty and press down until it's secure.
It's time to make the light cover using scrapbook paper or vellum. You can find some great paper at art stores or you can download any design you like on your computer and simply print it out at home on vellum. Vellum is a translucent stock paper that will allow light to shine through a design. This is a great trick for making holiday lights. Attach the paper to the ashtray by inserting the paper into the grooves of the ashtray, making a circular lampshade for the candle. Cut the paper down to size then spray one edge with spray adhesive. Overlap the edges and press together. Once this is dry, place the shade back into the groove of the ashtray, turn on the LED low power SMD spotlight and you are done. You have made an LED candle that will last for about 36 hours.

Make Your Own Screw in LED Lightbulb for the Household


LEDs generate light with very little heat loss. LEDs -- Light Emitting Diodes -- are solid state electronics, meaning they have no moving parts. This makes them much more energy-efficient and longer-lasting than standard incandescent light bulbs. The old-style bulbs use a metal filament super-heated by the electric current; it inefficiently converts the energy to light and heat. LEDs, however, convert the majority of the electric energy to light with very little heat. They don't use a filament so there is nothing to burn out, giving LEDs more than 16 times the life of standard bulbs 
Instructions


1 Remove the reflector and base from the China ECO halogen bulb. Carefully work the screwdriver to scrape out the cement that holds the bulb together. Slowly and gently work the pieces of the bulb apart until you separate the glass, base and reflector.
2 Cut the aluminium sheet in a circle that will fit inside the reflector of the bulb. The higher up it sits in the reflector, the more bulbs you will be able to fit, but less area for reflection. Work the aluminium sheet to fit about half-way down in the reflector.
3 Punch holes in the aluminium for the LEDs to fit through. Most office hole punch tools will have about a 5 millimeter hole, and most XinGuangYang ECO Halogen Candle C35 used in holiday lights are the same size. Place as many holes as you can on the aluminium sheet without overlapping. Start in a circle around the outside edge and then make another circle inside that. You should be able to fit between 18 and 22 LEDs.
4 Remove the LEDs you will need from your holiday light set. If yours is equipped with a rectifier, cut that out to make the LEDs work with alternating current (AC) rather than direct current (DC). Older-style Haining ECO standard halogen lamp holiday lights did not use a rectifier but rather used paired LEDs, one for each direction of the AC. If you do not have a rectifier, remove the LEDs in pairs. Pull the bulbs out of the plastic housing. If there is any shell or colored cover on the bulb, remove with pliers until you see the bare LEDs. Note how the LEDs connect to the wire in the light string so you can re-connect the wire in the bulb.
5 Fit the LEDs into the aluminium disc through the holes you punched. Super glue them in place and hold them until the glue dries. Cut off some of the wiring from the holiday light string and strip off the insulation. Connect the leads on the LEDs to the wire, duplicating the way they are wired in the light string; twist the bare wire together with one or two twists. If you have a rectifier, connect that at the end of the circuit of lights in the bulb. Secure all the connections with electrical tape.
6 Glue one wire from the LEDs (or rectifier) to the side wall of the bulb base and the other wire to the bottom connection of the bulb base. Since LEDs use DC instead of AC, it doesn't matter how you connect them inside the bulb. Hot-glue the base to the reflector, and the glass to the reflector. Screw the bulb into a lamp and enjoy the LED light.

Can a Plant Grown Under LED Lights?


Many bonsai trees need 16-to-18 hours of consistant indoor light to thrive. When growing bonsai indoors, it is crucial to supply them with a consistent light source that allows them to photosynthesize and grow. While many indoor light sources are available, LED lights have many advantages, as well as a few disadvantages, for indoor bonsai growth. By selecting the correct plants to grow under LED lights and making sure that your setup allows for enough access to light, you can grow a fine bonsai with China LED panel lights.
Trees and Shrubs That Grow Well Indoors With LED Lights
First, you must consider which types of plants adapt well to bonsai techniques, LED lighting and indoor gardening. Hardy deciduous and evergreen trees, such as maples and pines, rarely do well indoors and under Orientalight LED high bay lights because they require winter conditions for their growth cycle. Tropical trees might do well indoors since they cannot handle cold conditions. Fig trees, fukien tea trees and dwarf pomegranate shrubs can be adapted to indoor bonsai gardening using LED lights.
Advantages
The primary advantage to growing bonsai with LED lights is that LED lights use much less energy than other lighting methods. They allow a grower to tailor the red and blue spectrum of light; blue light helps encourage growth, while red light regulates and slows growth to promote flowering. LED lights also produce little heat. LED lights last between five and 12 years, requiring less frequent replacement than other types of lighting. Because light is so important to bonsai growth, a less expensive light source readily used by the plant helps the plant to not only survive but also thrive.
Disadvantages
LED lights are initially expensive to install; one LED tube lights manufacturer without mounting equipment cost about $300 as of 2011; one LED bar provides enough light for five or six bonsai plants. If an individual light in an LED array dies, it is generally necessary to replace the entire light apparatus because specific LEDs in an array are typically not replaceable. LED lights also do not provide heat, which may reduce the growth of plants that need a warmer environment than room temperature to flourish.
LED System Choices
Choose an LED system that suits your needs. If you only want to use the lights for growing the plants, consider a red and blue array. This will provide only the colors from the light spectrum that the plants need for growth and reproduction. If you will use the lights to grow as well as display your bonsai, look for a full-spectrum system. Many LED light systems require a separately purchased mount that holds the lights sturdily above your plants.

Grow Under a LED Light


Recycle Christmas lights to make a grow light. Building an LED grow box can help to provide enough light for your plants to grow during the winter. It also can give you more space to grow plants by allowing you to grow them in crawlspaces or closets. Gardeners use grow boxes mostly for sprouting plants that they will later plant outside in their gardens. Use LED lights rather than regular bulbs because China Led bulb light do not produce as much heat, which can damage young plants.
Instructions
1 Put the lid on your rubber tub. Press it to make sure that it is secure.
2 Put a ¼ inch drill bit on your drill.
3 Count the number of Ejai Led tube light on your string of Christmas lights.
4 Drill the same number of holes into the lid. Space them evenly across the entire lid, but you do not need to measure them exactly. Spacing them evenly will ensure that all of the plants in the box are getting the same amount of light.
5 Press the Haining Led flood light through the holes.
6 Plug in the LED lights. Use an extension cord if necessary.
7 Place the plants inside the grow box and close the lid. Turn the lights on for at least eight hours per day.
