Mine is set to start and stop every half hour....so total 12 hours of lights instead of 24 hours. I like to expand my project to a 6 buckets instead of only 2 so I might employ those longer lights instead of multiple 2 feet lights...but that will have to see the weight limit of the floor...hopefully it will work...hehe The power consumption is a key problem that I haven’t really thought too much about, the current solution is to use less by employing a timer (those found in sim lim tower) that switches the power off & on automatically base on your setting.

Interesting setup you have there. :) I'm also looking for similar setup at home for sake of hobby and of course the food. One thing that I have been thinking about is the power consumption if I were to use PL light or even MH. Care to share some thoughts on this? Hi. Interesting setup you have there. :)
