Lighting in martha help
    #8135842 - 03/12/08 08:00 AM (16 years, 10 months ago)

How would you allow light in a Martha without the possibility of humidity shorting out the light? AND without heating the Martha to high?

The light should be mounted outside the martha. Humidity won't affect it there, and make sure to choose a light within the appropriate spectrum for best results!
If you want an example of an external mount for a light check out helltick's fruiting chamber tek.

Like 81Renaissance said, put the light OUTSIDE of the martha.

However, if you want to put light inside the martha you can do that, you just need special lights.

Check out my FC setup in my sig. I have two LED rope lights within a cabinet. Humidity is always near 100% and the lights generate NO detectable heat.

Also, if you are in the market for a light make sure you get one with a color temp (kelvin) between 6000 and 7000. IMO it makes a difference.

I checked out your fruiting chamber, OMG I have to say thats exactly what an OCD freak like me needs. You said last month you were going to write a tek for that. Any news? I hate to copy and plagiarize your hard work, but i would love you have exactly your setup.
