mommy box in rock maple. if you are going to flower in that box, really seal out all light. i like to do inside corners in silver duct tape. anything brighter than the full moon, can cause problems. good luck, and happy gardening

i had the same question when i ordered mine!! it came with a connector that just has a red and black wire. i just connected those two to a dc power adapter (12v DC, .5A) but i am going to look for another adapter because the controller can go up to "1.66A output current" and its gotta be under 20 watts. The best adapters for this larger than normal current (powering 4 fans with one power supply) are the ones for converting a 110v wall outlet to the 12v car socket.

looking at the specs on the site for that LED and it seems as though it will add nothing to your grow, for one it doesn't specify the wavelengths of blue and red and I doubt they'd be correct as its basically for entertainment purposes.

even as a side light I'd say it's useless... (unless it has somewhere in the manual or something better specs on the spectrum's it uses, what you need is something like - 660nm Red, 630nm Red, 425nm blue and 450nm blue)

And if possible get the CFL's close as you can.

other than that, your box is brilliant, kudos man!
