So a little background. I have a CAD and design background. Im the type that would rather build something then buy it even if it doesn't make complete sense. I appreciate the journey and creativity. That being said im sure I'll take some heat for not just buying a light from Amazon or a retailer.
So this is what I made....
I wanted a light for my indoor grow room. This one is for my plants in veg. Drew up the design in 2D and laser cut the steel. I thought it would be cool to include an axial fan to cool the bulbs and to keep the air moving on my plants.the air circulates thought the vent holes at the base of the bulbs. Im using 7-CFL 6500k bulbs. 23w each (65 watt equivalent). I have no idea how this will work but again, more of a "let's see what happens" kinda journey here. I like that I can swap bulbs out for different growing needs too.
Curious what you guys think. Opinions, criticisms, and suggestions very welcome. I have thick skin so it's cool. Would like to expand on my ideas!
