i was at my buddies last nite and he had a bud light Neon light... and it hit me, u think u could grow wit neons!??! they have a very broad array of selections of colors, and they virtually do not get hot at all.... just a thought... any comments?

Probably not even close to being bright enough.

fa real? i thought they were bright az fuccccc.... but yeah.

look at the lumens on the bulbs and do some math, remember lumens > wattage = yield...

yeah, im lookin for tha lumens rite now...

Quick Neon Facts from KRYPTON NEON


Look at tha lumens, 2400-8300... is that good enuf?

very intresting... there has to be a down side thou... or else it would have been done already..... feel free to try it...

Neon light efficiency is based upon much fancier pants, the color of its output, which ranges from 10 lumens per watt for red to 60 lumens per watt for blue. One reason that blue tubes are more efficient is that phosphor coatings used to produce such colors better benefit the high-energy ultraviolet light from the argon/mercury mix into visible colors. Even the fluorescent tube is more efficient than a neon tube because a large straight tube offers less resistance to electrical current flow than a skinny bent one. Give it a try but I don't think it's going to be very effective, but it might grow a plant in time.

yea, it was just a concept... if i was rich i would get a custom neon that wuld be wrapped in a circle and i would just place it around my plant... but i would get tha whites and blues and red all mixed lol...
