Joey writes – “This is an installation consisting of a 30 foot fluorescent green stream into 20 foot diameter pool with a molecular network of black lights “UV Hydrocarbon” and a UFO “Ulterior Farming Operation” that grows tomatoes upside down. The UFO parabolic dish maximizes the 6000 watts of light using only 780 watts of power.”Link.

    Yeah, that one got me too. It must be that “new math” stuff.

    I think this is what he was trying to say:

    The UFO has twelve 65-watt compact fluorescent lights each rated at a 500-watt incandescent equivalent. The array produces an equivalent 6000 watts of light using only 780 watts of power. The light bulbs are from lightsofamerica.com, and they provide further specifications on their website. The design of the double parabolic dish further assists in focusing the light on the plants.
