A cart with light fixtures?

[OrchidTraci]

I am looking for a growing cart with light fixtures already attached to it. I've been looking for a 3 or 4 tired cart, but have been having a terrible time find anything. Anyone know any good online sites with these?

hey, I'm curious why you want a pre-made cart thingy. (ok, shop lights are ugly... but they are cheap.)

I use the shelf units that you can get from a box store that are used for storage, and then buy the shop lights and hang them from the shelves. This set up is much less expensive, I have had great luck with this set up.

I agree, My light cart, I bought from boxstore and put shop lights up. Everything is doing great. I have 4 bulbs (2 shop lights per shelf) with one warm white and one cool white bulb per fixture.

Any chance of getting a picture of your light carts? When you get a chance. Traci and I would love to see them (putting words in Traci's mouth).

I use the shelf units that you can get from Lowes or boxstore that are used for storage, and then buy the shop lights and hang them from the shelves. This set up is much less expensive, I have had great luck with this set up.

Trust me, I would do that, but Kevin doesn't want anything like that. He is really funny about things, and it told me it would look to 'shop-y'. It is in the kitchen so it is highly visible.

Thanks for the links. I want a premade cart because I need to keep the space I use contained. My house is very small(very very very small), there are no extra rooms (except for a closet I *might* be able to use). But really, I have to keep a small area to grow. If I have a cart, I know exactly how to utilize my space.

Traci, if I didn't have my HID light (which requires special considerations regarding heat build-up and humidity), I'd buy this fluorescent setup in a heartbeat.

Pricey, yes, but good-looking and flexible. Get two!

John, ugh. For $500 Traci and I could both fly you to our homes where you could analyze our growing areas and build each of us a light cart. That doesn't even include shipping, I'm sure. I wish we were handy!

Well you could, but I think the light cart would be a much better investment !

I'm handy in the since of being able to do stuff like building a simple bench, but I don't enjoy it at ALL. And I certainly wouldn't want to have to tackle something like a double-tiered light cart, that's for sure.

So for a one-time thing, I'd cough up the bucks for the thing, if I had a place to put it! Just think of all those happy paphs !!

It's depressing to be out of orchid room
