Grow Light Diffuser

thingiverse

I've moved into an apartment without sun-facing windows, so my plants needed a boost. I really liked this affordable grow light setup from ACKE, but its bright LED light was a bit too intense for my taste. After researching diffusers to make sure I wasn't reducing the good it could do by placing something in front of the light, I built this enclosure to make it more people-friendly. This project requires: * 1x ACKE LED Panel Grow Light * 2x printable files * 16x M3x16mm Screws * 16x M3 Washers * 16x M3 Nuts * 8x M3 Self-threading Torx screws (McMaster Part #96817A908) * 4x Drywall screws and anchors * 1x 12x12" (300x300mm) sheet of 1/8" (3mm) diffused plastic (I used Delrin, but Acrylic would also work) * 18AWG solid-core wire for connecting panels Here's the panel I used: ACKE LED Panel Grow Light, Plant Light PCBA, Hydroponic Grow Light ,LED Grow Light Aluminum Board for Greenhouse,Grow Light Stand, Vegetative Growth of seedling, flowers, Herbs https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076B1W99T/ref=sxr_rr_xsim_1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=4518303533042278392&pd_rd_wg=kRBwX&pf_rd_r=J7PDZSZQXMSNDHFRDSCV&pf_rd_s=desktop-rhs-carousels&pf_rd_t=301&pd_rd_i=B076B1W99T&pd_rd_w=Byu8m&pf_rd_i=grow+light&pd_rd_r=abaffb82-87b2-41b6-851a-5bcf1cc5c4a7&ie=UTF8&qid=1526245375&sr=1 I've also included the SW files so you can customize this design. This is a bit of a messy file as SW decided to shut down on me and I pulled the project back from a recovery folder. However, it should be really simple to adjust the bracket angle and wall fastener hole sizes to suit your own install situation.
