With the imminent ending of British Summer Time for 2008 next week and the return to dark evenings, and with the conservation of energy use in mind, I thought I would experiment with a low energy warm white 3000 - 3300k LED lighting set up I've cobbled together (4 x 2.5W 85 - 260V AC LED bulbs); assisted by aluminium foil, supermarket plastic bags and a windup LED hand held torch. Using this anthurium this is my first image.

This is certainly a novel idea David ! Could have all sorts of uses. I think it may have worked better with a subject or plant with a less number of leaves or stalks.
Good stuff tho'

Thanks for the comments John. I deliberately chose such a subject to see what would be the outcome. Here is my set up minus me and the LED torch.
