Hello!

I have wooden shelve ( $50.00 at Ikea ), 6 shoplight ( $15.00 each 4 X 48
inches )
Don`t spend too much money ! I covered three side and the top with heavy
clear plastic. I`m using a digital timer ( $5.00 )
If you want to see a picture of my installation go to:

Cymbidium

| effected by lack of light)
