SUMMER IN MY BASEMENT ALL WINTER.AND IT'S IN BUFFALO !!
Before winter of 2014, I brought in my flower pots and window boxes into my basement. I bought two of these TaoTronics LED Grow lights, as an experiment, to see if I could keep my plants healthy until spring of 2015. I didn't have any clue what would happen. I put the two lamps in some aluminum dome clip sockets, and clamped them to the basement beam and projected the lights to cover the group of plants about 6-7 feet away. I put the two lamps on a timer to run regular sun time hours. The plant group was about 5+ foot square. Maybe two weeks later, I told my wife, "They're still green and growing." She said that if the grow lights weren't working, the plants would have been dead by now. A few days after that, I came down stairs and I was totally shocked what I saw. The 70 pound hibiscus pot had the biggest and most beautiful flowers I've ever seen on it. The rest of the plants were also looking good and colorful too.
About a month later I rearranged the plants and bought two more Tao lamps for better coverage. Well the TaoTronics lights worked better than I could have imagined. The TaoTronics LED lamps run cool and didn't have to water the plants much either. Cheap to run too.
It's now getting close to April and the plants are still healthy and growing. When I get them outside, I'll have the first colorful plants growing on the block..... But first I have to wait for some warm weather and the 3 foot of snow to melt.The worst February winter on record. Yeah it's Buffalo, but the Tao Lights worked for me and gave me summer in my basement.. I waited to write this review to make sure they worked. They did!!!
