Rapid LED fuge light
So I need a cool running system and yes it's extravagant and a clip on light with gro bulbs would probably not be much different but I like to tinker too so I put together a 12 x 3w rapid LED kit for my fuge light. Went with 8 6500k and 4 reds. Pretty cool looking I think and shockingly bright. Yes it's also probably overkill but in my last system I used a 150w hqi 6500k over the fuge so....
