Glad to hear you guys approve of my clipping!
After all this was my first time.
And here's another first timer you will probably approve :
Here's my transformer assembly. Mounted on a brick with alu tape.
Subtle not?
Even if the transformer starts to emit light itself, my box won't burn.
Notice how I made the wires a bit pulling-proof with insulated copper wire covered in glue!

Fresh bulb, a few dents in the reflector looks worse then it really is :

I mounted the lamp in the correct orientation:

Lamp on! Notice the funny purple/orange color distribution pattern on the wall.
The lamp is turned on for 5 minutes or so. Funny to see how the lamp starts white, goes red then orange.

Bright, bright, bright!
I'm afraid to open the box with the curtains open at daytime.
If I do the whole room lights up orange.
Monochromatic orange quite an eye catcher!

So that's what 56500 lumens @2100K look like!
I put the light at 80 cm from the plant, thats about 2.6 feet.
Ofcourse today I go 12/12.
Nice lamp no?
