It would be nice to just plug in wide-spectrum lights to my standard old house fittings.
Has anyone heard of this technology?
Has it gone anywhere? The above article is over 6 years old.
Is it commercially available?
I would imagine the lights would use small amounts of power or could run on solar panels(?)
It would not only be good for my house but would help get a lot more plants into offices and also more interesting varieties into Commercial Buildings.
You may even be able to grow your own lunch!
Would it also solve our vitamin D deficiency problems?

Here is a source for a variety of LED lights that fit standard screw-socket fixtures, as well as some LED light-bars.

Still rather expensive initially, but the power savings and long-life appears to offset initial cost over time.
