Lights

I rushed to get an inexpensive light system set up.  I had to improvise a bit, because there are no "inexpensive" shop lights here, just fancy ones.  I finally decided on some under cabinet lights (120 cm long, T8 bulbs) that are meant to be wired directly into an electrical source and not plugged into a wall.  I got 4 lights at 5.50 Euros each, so that was by FAR the least expensive option.  I also had to buy some wiring to adapt them into plug in lights and I got an automatic timer.

Yes, condescending employee at home improvement store, I am capable of wiring this myself!

but how do I get you open!? brute force is the answer


oh how nice of you to put the opening instructions inside! 
I managed to not electrocute myself
























And now I have light!  Did I mention I transported these on my bicycle, all while having a non-functioning headlight?  Luckily, no cops stopped me as it would have been hard to keep a straight face at the irony of having to explain a broken headlight while transporting 4 fluorescent bulbs.  Yes sir, I realize it is broken which is why I bought these to fix it....?

The seedlings seem happy in their new home!
