    I came up with this invention by accident when I inserted RC-helicopter controller into TV video input. I then noticed, that it has a very "saw waveform".

    Then I realized, that these controlles can be used to control LED-lights so that they blink all the time.

    It should save some energy and it cools down the LEDs so much, that I think you can give them about 10 times more voltages as usual. Now I am running about 4 times more as usual power. The LEDs are very cool to touch, not even warm.

    Now I am experimenting how the plants react to the blinking light. They should sprout in few days.

    not really advanced technology. not really sure how you are saving any energy when you putting in a lot more voltage than normal. As for the blinking, I doubt the plants will be effected much. Other than the fact that your not using white light. I think the color will have more to do with growth rate than if they are blinking or not. Just in case you don't know florescent lights blink also, it just happens so fast that the human eye doesn't notice it. Just like your TV or any screen does also, well LCD screens don't blink but if it plays video then it blinks.

    Not sure if this will be beneficial for growing. If a plant cell is receiving a decent amount of light, then it's going to perform photosynthesis. Making the light brighter only goes so far. There are other bottlenecks. Also, every time the LEDs go off, the plant is now in the dark for a brief period. During that time a compound builds in the plant that determines whether the plant is vegetating or flowering. I suspect your method is going to increase the amount of this compound (wish I could remember the name).

    Also, not sure if it will really be an issue, but you are significantly decreasing the life of the LEDs. Turning on and off is the most stressful thing for any electronic device. That's why light bulbs always seem to burn out right when you hit the switch.

    How do you have zero posts? I'm looking at one right now.

    You have to use advanced LED technology..

    So it would appear...

    cool setup.
    i am interested in seeing how it works.
    i'd love to smoke some of it :)

    that was his first post? I think it show's how many you have at the time of making that post.

    phytochrome, iirc.

    the blinking shouldnt effect the decay of Pfr to Pr (or is it the other way around? lol). That process takes around 2 hours to "initialize" and nearly 12 to complete

    Gotcha, plants are slow. Thx for the info, I didn't know it took quite so long ;)

    Your plants are going to have seizures.... or youll have a seizure when you smoke it!
