I do the same. So I set one of these:

Exactly. I have a couple full spectrum CFLs and my herb garden is growing quite nicely during this winter. They are expensive but well worth it. Have 1 85W and 4 45W. It also kicks SADs ass

LEDs require a specific current, not a specific voltage. I know that sounds odd, but these COB LEDs will continue to consume current until they burn out, so they need a constant current driver in order to regulate the current that's delivered to them. The actual voltage that is delivered can vary, but it's typically somewhere between 12V and 48V.
I have the materials to build just such a setup, but I've read that the Cree COB LEDs I have don't put out a very good light spectrum for plants. I've got the goods, though, so we'll see how it works out.
While I'm talking about it, here are the light sources I have:
Curious to see how the LEDs compare. FWIW, the scotch bonnet plant I have underneath the Apollo 24W R/B LED has a pronounced preference for the 400W MH that is orthogonally located about five feet away.

Above is a 3 point lighting with green screen solution that's within your $300 budget.
I use a similar setup for most of my daughter's youtube videos that we shoot at home.
Shooting light through an umbrella will make it softer than reflecting it.
85 Watt 5500K (daylight) CFL Bulbs are energy efficient and don't get terribly hot.
Super low energy population. Coming from Florida, this is terrible. I have 5 70 watt compact fluorescent lights (300 equivalent) in my living room that I use to help with the dark (heh, they're not too compact). It's like a Latvia joke. Very dark. Very cold.
I haven't experienced any talk of Trump at all, except to bash him. The people around the workplace that can vote are extremely interested in Bernie...and we have a large amount of people here on H1-Bs. Hurts the salary and opportunities, methinks.
I'm biding my time until I can be disconnected from the northwest...it's a pretty place, but the weather, and most of the people, really are low energy.
Lake is still cold from the mild summer, this winter will be worse.
I bought a humongus all-spectrum lightbulb, it's like 10 inches tall, full spectrum, and installed it in my closet where I have my computer setup. I'm basically doing light therapy while working on computer stuffs.

I also removed all my 100% cotton items from my wardrobe and put them away for storage, so I don't accidentally go out in something that will soak up sweat/rain/melted snow in the -5 degree 30 mph winds.
I also pulled out all my cold temp gear and fixed any holes.
I bubble wrapped and card boarded my windows, caulked the seams (removable) and plastic wrapped them, tight as a drum, and nailed a fleece blanket over them, and then a heavy duty curtain to hide it all. I also sealed my door cracks with foam tape. I also got a cool touch humidifier and strapped a high grade furnace filter to the back of a box fan. I have a highly controlled environment in my bedroom, even with the house thermostat set to 69, my room is a constant 80 degrees, about 50% humidity and air filtered.
I got loads of food in the basement, and I plan to make a market trip once a month and stock up and just keep the perishables in coolers in the airlock/mudroom (which is currently below freezing).
This is my 3rd Chicago winter, being from Los Angeles I was so under prepared. I'm looking forward to surviving this one in style.
Word. This is the light kit. I also upgraded the lights.
It comes with a foam cover thing but it isnt as robust as a full deadcat thing for wind.
For relatively cheap lighting get a couple of these bulbs http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0019HZQPM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And a couple of these softbox fixtures (I like these because they set up and fold up really fast unlike others) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0019HZQPM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Some cheap lighting stands, and one of those $35 battery powered LED lights to mount on camera or use as a hair light.

$40 plus shipping a pop. Hang it, mount it, whatever and it'll be more than enough light that won't generate extreme heat or blow sockets.
Awesome! Just yesterday I ordered this one, which sadly is not quite as powerful as yours, but reviewers describe it as "the size of my head" and "the light of the universe", and someone posted a great picture for scale, so yeah I'm expecting a light bulb about the size of a suitcase nuke.
What kind of reflector did you get? I was planning to just try and wedge this into a floor-standing lamp I have (where the socket at the top points upward, and sits in a bowl)
Get one or more of these things daylight all the time

I was checking out a lot of the huge CFL's. I'm thinking maybe 64 (8 rows of 8) of these, each in a reflective housing, mounted above a ripstop diffuser? Perhaps the surrounding ceiling around the lights could be painted white just for good measure, whatever it may achieve. I'm unsure how to figure out how many of these I would need... I will have to do some research so I can find math to do.
I know these put out a low amount of heat, but would it be wise to install a few fans to circulate some air above the canvas?
Thanks for your input. Every little bit helps!
