Hey so quick question. :P

I was using my brain earlier and i thought, obviously CFLs are great because you can hang them to be close to our plants, what if.... What If we built a mini cage around the bulb and put it in between the plants/branches :o? The cage would keep the lights from burning and putting them in the plant would give 100% light instead of losing some on the way down.

Would this work? Has it been done? Im imagining you could buy them (found some wooden fancy ones online ) or cheaply bend some wire to make one?
 
in theory should work.....patent it before its too late lol...i used to have "cages" on my bulbs in my terrariums, but havnt honestly seen them around in a while

applying for patent riiiiiiiiiiiiight.....now. :)

post pics of your prototype, love the idea of in between the branches!
 
It would still burn the leaf's lol.. too much light i think would burn them even with the cage on it the heat radiating and what not.
