I did this for fun, but if you think about it, the beam pattern from these lights is well suited to plant shelving, and the fact they are designed to be water-resilient means they could be a good choice for a task like this. You can also get similar lights in much higher power ratings and matching grow-light LEDs.

    The people who actually suggested operator error on the screws being put back in wrong place do not buy many things from ebay. They weren't good enough for big box store, sell them online. That's what happens.
