Woke up early again and decided to finish the light fixture for Dutch bucket project.

Using wood from a pallet I found on the street, to make it possible to attach 2 large IKEA grow lights from the Krydda system.

Have to find a way to hide the wires and the transformers when putting it in the bedroom.

Will add some reflective walla around it to keep the lights concentrated on the tomatoes and peppers.

2x16w lamps, 10h pee day is 320w pee day, if I have them for 100 days to have a good harvest, it will be about 32kW of power at 0,25 euro per kWh, means around 8 euro for electricity, or probably double that because of the inefficient driver circuit. I'm expecting to get at least 4 to 5 kg of cherry tomatoes from it, so it is a good price for having home grown vegetables.
Have no idea how much peppers I will get. But those are very expensive here, sold at Lidl in 4 packs for 1 euro and I am sure I will get significantly more than 4 in the coming 100 days.
