"Green Light" - light planter

3 Greenlight Big Lr
Dreamgreen writes -

The first green dream is the "Green Light". A plant (Hedera) grows around an (energy saving!) lamp. You can grow it or cut it to dim or brighten the light. Coming soon in alternative versions such as Woodbine (Lonicera), grape, and tomato plant! Designed by Twan Verdonck for DreamingreeN. Available in the shop in three formats: product, DIY and download.

Odd, I can't find the DIY plans, but it's pretty easy to re-make this.

hopefully remake it with a nicer pot, a half an old plastic coke bottle is kinda hokey

Nice idea.
According to the linked website, the 'DIY' and 'download' versions will only be available from 31 March 2007.

Is that just a regular compact flourescent bulb?


Posted by: Sally599 on February 9, 2007 at 9:05 AM

They make special compact fluorescent grow lights---I think the light spectrum in the standard bulbs doesn't incorporate both of the peak wavelenghts that plants need, although they may be OK for non-flowering plants like this ivy. I used to grow orchids,etc. under fluorescents and you had to mix warm and cool colored bulbs or get full spectrum.
