so i was out at my mother in laws house trying to figure out what was wrong with the pool lights, i made a shoking discovery that it was a fibre optic system, with one central lamp or light source (actually a halogen bulb like you find in fog lights) and several leads for fiber optic inputs. it turned out what i thought were little jets in the pool were actually little fiberoptic bulbs. the damn thing lit up the pool like the light was coming from the water.
then it hit me! what about a fiber optic grow system???? like a 1KW lamp and use a bunch of fiberoptic leads to light the plants exactly where you want it and for more plants then traditional lighting could produce because all the light would be absorbed into the optic system.
now theres a few parts that maybe someone with experiance in the field to fill me in on.
1) what kind of optic can put out the type of light the plant uses
2)how many lumens would you lose using this type of system?
3)would this be efficient enough to use in a high yield op?
I dont know, anyone with any knowledge would be helpful. To my knowledge no one has tried this before i dunno. any input would be helpful.
I think when i have the time and money ill get some things together and try it out. who knows this could be next big breakthrough since hydrophonics!
