Hi, like so many IT oriented people here, I had a new computer component use...lol
I tested a 19inch TFT computer screen. The TFT layer was destroyed, so I removed it. I also removed the 2-3 layers of polarizers, etc and left just the CFL and the big thick plastic homogenizer...
So the reading from 1-2 cm away is 4500-4800 Lux,homogenized across the whole screen.
Of course no heat is whatsoever produced in this setting.
Would this kind of light be enough for incubator, and small vegetative growth?
The consumption is something like 25Watt.
The pros of this setting is compactness, low consumption, extreme homogenization of the light distribution, compact design...
any ideas on that??
has anyone tried it already??
