I've seen a lot of moon-lighting done with Cathode Lights. I wonder if (with enough lights in one setup) they would provide enough light for day-time / plantgrow...
My company recycles electronics, which is of course a great source for all types of 'spare-parts'. From many of my customers I receive scanners that we break down into basic materials.
The idea is to put a large amount of scanner lights (they're 24 cm long) in a frame. Then mount that frame on top of the tank. I estimate a Qty between 30 - 50 in total. Need to test some first to figure the best setup.
Heat is close to nothing with these, but my question is:
1. Light Output... Would it be enough to light up the tank (and get the flora growing.
2. Light 'spectrum': What will this be? 5000k, 6500k, 10,000k...
Any suggestions or experience would be very welcome.
