SEPT - Super Efficient Photosynthesis. A grow light made from red
and blue LEDs being pulsed. This light fits inside a Altoids container
and requires less than 1.1W of energy to grow a 6"x6"x6" space. Lights
can be chained to grow more plants. Total lumens = 111.
Plants need primarily red (680nm) light to grow and a small amount
of blue (440nm) light. By pulsing the LEDs at 720Hz or higher the
plant can achieve maximum growth with a minimal amount of energy.
