Desktop Planting (Part I - LED grow lamp set)
This design let the succulent lovers grow their plant indoor.
- Human-controlled environment would prevent them from predators or hostile weather. (some species are not native to the zone you lived)
- For urban residents, growing the plant on the balcony usually encounters the sun light is shaded by other taller buildings. Using the LED or other growth lamp would be the only way to grow them.
- Personal hobby (experiment for fun)
I separate the project into two smaller ones. First part is the main body of 3D-printed LED lamp set with a heat sinker. The another one is the electronic circuit example of building power supply, LED drivers, and LED combinations. If some guy don't like the style of my LED lamp set or have stylish designs, welcome to share us!!
