Here's another example of basement lighting.
Yesterday I took ReneeO up on a cutting offer but drove up into Wisconsin since she's only about 45 min away. First time I've met another DG member, what a wonderful person. Needless to say I left with more than just a cutting in water. My yard should stink real good this year!!!

Anyway, dear Renee also let me take a couple of pics. I've thought about the MH light before but was concerned about excessive heat and the current draw needing a dedicated circuit breaker.

Renee's basement felt just as cool as mine. She didn't have to add a dedicated circuit for this 1000watt MH thats on a track slowly moving back and forth. It's basically soundless as well. The soft whirr of an oscillating fan is about it except for the cells multiplying in these obviously healthy brugs!!
Renee - if you're lurking - Thank you so much for the education and materials!!
