Thanks Ray

I imagine so too, they're 50W each. I also think that the miniaturization itself would be adding some inefficiencies, which usually outputs as heat (not an expert). Probably why they have huge disclaimers with "DON'T USE WITHOUT HEAT-SINK" on their page.

IF the heat can be siphoned away, and the chips last a while, this would make urban gardening very easy!

Will update!

The technology has moved on but there is still a lot of good information there.
Thanks, estación seca!

Lovely resource! I wish I had seen this website while it was active. Sadly many missing pages now
