Are there lights I can use to extend the light cycle period outside?

[Wizzlebiz]

Sup folks,

Over by me I have 13 hours of sun per day now. I am wondering if there is a lighting system made for outdoors to extend the light cycle period?

Thing is the temps are perfect here between now and the end of November.

So I would love to take advantage of the lovely temps for some new plants but popping seeds now with the short light cycle would be ill advised.

Thanks for any info on the matter

Greenhouse growers have used the GLR (gas lamp regemin) using portable lanterns to make just enough light to keep the plants awake.

So whatever sorta light you can cobble up should work. You can see pics of large outdoor grows with a string of CFL's hanging and ran off a portable generator.

Nope. Thank you sir.

Nope. Thank you sir.

My pleasure. It actually looks pretty cool, 150 watts, good spectrum and water proof. Good luck with your search.

Dude you can use any lights for that, even just a 20 watt cfl ... that’s what I use

I use 12w LED bulbs. I've done it with solar powered LED flood lights just to prove it could be done but I had to flip them on every night at 11pm.

Now I just have some low watt LED's on a timer at sunrise to 11pm. You can also just run the lights for an hour or two at midnite.

I have a set of strand leds on my back patio. Think that will work? I have 8 of them put together to illuminate the entire patio.

 

[Caliverner]

That might work they just need to stay up

That's what she said, ba dump bump.

The LED Bulbs I use are just the regular screw in replacements for normal incandescent/cfl bulbs. They generate very little heat and cost next to nothing to run.

 

[Wizzlebiz]

Here's what it looks like atm.

Think it will help at all?
