yeah I can;t imagine a 1600 lumen CFL, which i imagine is probably also pretty far away... ceiling-mount?, would do *that* much harm... your really talking about a really really small fraction of those 1600 lumens making it into a light leak... if outdoor plants can survive street-lamp light and stuff, i'd like to think they can survive that.

the I can;t imagine is putting out much either... is it a CRT (tube) style or a newer LCD/Plasma? I know my lcd comp monitors can put out a fair bit of light... but again, with the amount that would make it into a light leak... can;t imagine it being a problem.

anyhow, hope things work out I'll be watchin
