I tested a solar panel (one of the largest ones from Solarbotics) under my
mom's gro-light, and it produced (from 2 feet) 3 times the power as it did
when it was 6 inches from my bedroom light! Weird, eh?
I'm gonna get a fluorescent fixture for my room and install a gro-light in
it! That thing is awesome! I guess it might also be how crappy my bedroom
light is. I pretty much have to replace it every 2 months. THAT gets old
real fast...
