I like basil. That is why I made a small grow light for my basil. I used an Attiny44A and
an RTC I had lying around and ordered a "full-spectrum" COB LED and a heatsink.

After cobbeling it all together in a cigarillo tin can (shout-out to Dannemann and my adopted tree)
with hot glue, epoxy and some perfboard I also made a little lamp shade out of acrylic. I think my basil quite liked it.

However this "full-spectrum" LED's light looks somewhat like this:

Fuck. That.

I gave it a week or so but I couldn't handle seeing that shit in my kitchen all day so into the Project Archives it went...

Also, my basil appears to be just as happy on the window ledge.
