Question about LED light

They will do absollutly 0

if your worried about power goin out get one of those generator thing you plug into the socket

They wont do much at all. It is possible they will keep them awake, but I dunno.

I would get a cheap back up battery. Something like this.

You could run 4-6 big 43w CFLs on that thing easily. That would keep your plants awake.

yes just incase the light goes out.

A generator wouldn't work around here since there's snoopy people around here when the odd person here and there use one and I don't have the money for a generator , I'll pass on the cheep back up battery and save up for a high end one and I just spent $200 on paint , primer , sand paper , paint brush , paint tray , putty , putty knife and still need to buy new underlay and new carpet and to build the perm. setup

get one of those plug in generators that stores the electricity in them incase the power goes out it'll be a few hundred tho
