The 1st reason why I bought the aquarium plant lights – with NO mercury. but they are not powerful enough @1900 lumens. It would be interesting to get the veggies tested to see if and how much mercury they absorbed. THIS GLOBAL WARMING SCAM IS FORCING MANY COUNTRIES TO USE MERCURY LITE BULBS, WHICH ARE MORE DANGEROUS TO THE ENVIRONMENT AND YOUR HEALTH THAN TRADITIONAL BULBS. *ANYWAYS* – I’m doing good, the lettuces are working well, (Bibb and Mesclun mix).
