I've moved into an apartment without sun-facing windows, so my plants needed a leg up. I really liked this inexpensive grow light setup from ACKE, but its sharp LED light was a bit too blinding for my taste. After looking up some info on diffusers to make sure I wasn't eliminating all the good it could do by putting something in front of the light, I built this enclosure to make it a bit more human friendly.
This project requires:
Here's the panel I used:
ACKE LED Panel Grow Light, Plant Light PCBA, Hydroponic Grow Light ,LED Grow Light Aluminum Board for Greenhouse,Grow Light Stand, Vegetative Growth of seedling, flowers, Herbs
I've also included the SW files so you can customize this design. This is a bit of a messy file as SW decided to shut down on me and I pulled the project back from a recovery folder. However, it should be really simple to adjust the bracket angle and wall fastener hole sizes to suit your own install situation.
