My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Growing under Lights

are MH UV levels dangerous?

20 years ago

I have a 1000W MH, with a tempered-glass cover on the reflector. Assuming an unbroken, properly functioning bulb, are UV levels low enough to work under the lights for an hour at a time?

I guess the question would be, is it any higher than being out in the sun?
