Safe grow lights?
    #26337934 - 11/22/19 10:50 AM (4 years, 2 months ago)

I'm growing in my closet and my florescent light fixture has got me on edge. I read to much about the ballast overheating and causing a fire.

I want to get something that is VERY safe. So safe I can put it directly ontop my tub with some blankets ontop of that to conceal the light.. any ideas would be very much appreciated!

The LEDs that screw right into a regular socket?

Any type in the 6000-6500k range.  If it’s directly on top of the tub, you don’t need a very big bulb.

Ok, I will look but I could of swore that those screw in LCDs that are meant to replace incandescent bulbs, still get a bit warm...and I'm gonna be putting a blanket over it.

They do get quite warm still. You'll want something like strip/tube LED lights.
In reality though, I wouldn't put a blanket over any electrical device.

Thwres gotta be something that wouldn't pose a fire hazard with a blanket ontop...the light just comes shining through my door like jesus is making an appearance in my apartment.  Sketch as fuck

My door isn't solid... otherwise I'd just light up the whole closet but I gotta be really careful here.

I had a friend that just put little inch long flaps of duct tape on the sides of his bedroom door. They were on the inside of the room so you couldn’t see anything from the hallway and when the door was closed the flaps blocked all the light from being seen from the hallway.

Kinda funny the shit we did in highschool to ease the stoned paranoia.
