not cheapo thinmetal reflectors with cheap transformers and 150w lamp

i glued space blankets to plywood for my reflectors

step 1 from cheaposhit decent cooltube reflector set costs 80 or so euros

yeah yeah proper plasma-cycle lamps cost like 1200 (professional tier stuff) or so

those lamps what simule sun almost perfectly

you get proper tanning if you work under them

and cancer if you use them without the uv-c filter

and ofc good quality elektronic ballasts cost arm and leg

even from china

just the magnetic ballast,reflector,150w lamp and cables cost that 68 euros + postage

youd need rig it to roof yourself etc

sold my HPS when i had to start paying for electricity 😮

i dont have that problem for next 4 years i think

as long as i live in this apartment

luckily 8 years if i get good spot for master degree studies

@Tervy Yeah, he's not one to skimp on things.

would love a little LED grow, like 40-50W. might just buy a couple of these tube kits

I'm the kind of fucker who goes cheap as fuck for the first attempt, and try to see what I *really* need to spend money on.

same kontrol, love chinkshit for that purpose

same here @kontroll on everything else but food stuff

also, for buying legos for my kids, shit is like 1/5th the cost if it doesn't say "LEGO"

love all the counterfeit toys, haha

@leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeebo Uh. But LEGO bricks go in the mouth. Anything that goes in the mouth and comes from China = danger, danger!

@leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeebo out of curiosity does current generation child still play tag in dark with flashlights (is your child that old yet)

even better, i gave them shitty green lazers and some blocker glasses and let them go nuts

@Tervy Might be a cultural thing? I've never heard of anyone doing that here in these parts.

why not nerf-guns/lazer tag gear directly

@kontroll might be .. our winter here is dark as fuck and i remember it being one of best games ever

Where's here?

finland

yep, sun down at 3:30PM love it

Huh. I'm to the west of you.

I remember setting up a flashlight game of tag at night with kids from family and friends

a few kids started crying

that or i just liked how easy it was to find my friends with dads maglight

the rest kept playing until 3am

they hate me sometimes from using it haha

pgood tbh

ahh to be child again (no thanks really but at least you did not have adult things to worry)

i probly try to set up such games when i get children

just to give my child proper flashlight and have an edge against other kids with casual lights
