Cheap Light Bar for Seedlings
Mar 7, 2010 cheap, indoor seed starting
A couple months ago we replaced a couple of bathroom light fixtures and it didn’t take too long for me to find the old ones a new home. An old extension code couple electrical connectors and I have a completely non-code light bar. I used the smaller fixture and replaced my light bulbs hanging from sockets using zip ties.
When I have some more time I will plan on making a reflector to redirect more light on the plants but for now the little peppers/tomatoes look very happy.

Just plain old 13 watt CFLs though have one incandescent to provide a little heat on those cold nights in the garage.

Great use for those light bars! Now I know what to do with mine when I replace them!

I was planning to use light fixtures like those when we replaced them, but my wife recycled them before I could get to them.
