A custom LED grow light designed around a [2-foot long fence planter box](https://www.amazon.com/Emsco-Group-2444-2444D-Planter/dp/B01HRUETPW).
This project features a built-in [24/7 digital timer](https://www.menards.com/main/electrical/light-switches-dimmers-outlets/outlet-timers/smart-electrician-reg-digital-timer/81339/p-3149259783272843-c-6471.htm), an adjustable MEAN WELL constant current supply ([IDLC-45-1050](https://www.meanwell.com/Upload/PDF/IDLC-45(DA)/IDLC-45(DA)-SPEC.PDF)), and a top-of-the-line Samsung strip light ([SL-B8T4N90LAWW](https://cdn.samsung.com/led/file/resource/2020/09/Data_Sheet_H_inFlux_Ver.2.0.pdf))
That particular LED strip gives 8500 lumens at an efficiency of 190 lumens per watt. Running this lamp will cost ~ $0.10 per day (0.050 kilowatts x 16 hours x $0.12/kWh).
Design and construction were done on a deadline, and as such, reference material is lacking. So if you want to build this Thing, contact me for some guidance.
The shaft is 5/8-inch
