Too big to fail
|
And on the first day...
...someone said "let there be light!" And yea, he spent seveal hours on a ladder, and yea shocked himself something like 3 times, and lo! There was light! And yo, he stepped off the ladder, flipped the switch and said "word, that ***** be bright!" And it was all good.
Actually, it's so bright it overwhelms my digital camera, which in turn tries to correct the f-stop downward. I ran two separate circuits, so I can use only 1/2 the lights if I need to. The 2nd set of pix are with only 1/2 of the lights on.

Where is your ventilation system? What about watering? How are you planning on keeping it humid? Do you have a timer for the lights? Have you looked into hydroponics? Oh wait.... this a Porsche/VW work space.... heh heh...um ya...silly me. ![]() P.S. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, such a great beer! P.P.S. When the garage door is open how much light do you lose?

Make sure there's cool-air ventilation and a muffler for that compressor(?) room.

The "little room" is the bathroom. THe compressor lives in it's own shed outside.

I'm using 12/3 wire, and the circuit is fed by a 20A breaker, but I haven't calculated or measured how much I'm drawing.
