Gotta love LEDs! Great invention. What about heating? (I’m not as polite as DC... but am very familiar with being told nunya.) Curious, as I had an unfinished basement, and had to use electric heater in winter.

100% of the heat in my setup comes from the lights. I am just reaching 82 now so I may need to add a heater in to keep it at this point as winter continues, but I probably wont as long as the high reaches >78.

A few months in the summer I need to control the highs with an a/c a few hours a day, and to bring the temp down to 66 at night. Definitely a small additional cost in the summer.

Fall, winter, and spring (tbd) I just use the inline fan at night to bring the temp down.
