LED lighting in monotub
    #8426537 - 05/20/08 11:09 PM (15 years, 8 months ago)

So I want to grow casings in a monotub and be as stealthy as possible...meaning making the large rubbermaid that Im using look as unmodified as possible. Obviously I dont want to cut an opening out of the lid and so Im looking at ways of getting adequate lighting from the inside of the tub. The two options Ive got are fluorescent tubes vs. LED ropes. I know that the fluorescent tubes are the ideal light source but pose a fire hazard. So basically my question is are LED ropes the best way to accomplish what Im looking for without burning down my apartment? Is there a particular type of LED rope that would be best? Also are there any dangers with the LED rope that I am not forseeing?

"Ps. cubensis responds best to light heavy in the blue- and ultra-violet spectrum, specifically which peak at 370, 440, and 460 nanometers."

Does this sound good?

Does a LED rope pose less fire hazard?

LED rope lights kick ass... But beware they are very pricey.








They would pose less of a fire hazard than incandescent lights as they do not get hot at all. Actually they are not even warm even after 24 hours of being on.

I got mine from Pegasus Lighting (google it)
