LED and CCFL Plant Grow Light.  I started this while living in a house and then moved into an apartment.  I finished the project, but have not tried growing plants inside in a small apartment.  The unit should draw about 140-150W total.  It uses 6x 168 LED "flood-style" lights (red/ blue grow lights), 2x 23W warm CCFL, and 2x 23w cool CCFL.  It is very bright.  I also reused an old computer power strip.  This allowed the 5 switches to control 5 zones and a master on/ off switch.  Also, I was given a florescent light which the ballast had went out.  I used this as the reflector for the light and part of the frame.
