LED Plant Grow Spikes

Not sure how effective these would be with so few LEDs but they do look pretty cool.  In their defense they do label these as supplemental lights.  If you want one, unfortunately you have to make it yourself with full DIY instructions below.

    Very cool looking! Be sure to let us know how the perform. My hubby is going to make me a LED light that will span 2 flats, when he has the time. I have to do some more research, and find a reasonable price for the LEDs. The fact that they grow freaks me out a little- Terminator!

    Definitely supplemental lighting. A 1-watt high powered LED will hardly illuminate a plant larger than a few inches tall.

    ahhh a Gizmodo reader! I will tune in to find out how they work for you, but I must agree with Red Icculus- suplemental lighting

    I probably won’t bother trying these out though an interesting concept. I think a ring of LEDs around the rim of the pots could make some interesting supplemental lights. Guess until it shorts out 🙂
