Hello gr8budz4me,

Very nice post, good heads up on the bulbs. I quoted just your safety warning because it really should be repeated, often.

Excellent idea about using a closet door trigger switch, a safety switch like that might make it idiot proof, and thats a good thing.
Looks like you got a good handle on light issues.

Good luck to you and your partner on your grow. Keep us posted.
