I’ve a low budget grow setup with a DIY light made out of a wooden board and some 12W household LED bulbs connected in series. This works fine. But I want to use the same fixture to power my seedlings and be able to remove bulbs from their sockets in order to reduce the brightness or wattage when needed.
This obviously can’t be done in a series connection as the whole light fixture would stop working if I pulled out a bulb. My question is, is it safe to wire the bulbs in parallel and connect the fixture to a 220V 6A wall socket?
What precautions / modification in circuitry would I need to take? I’m very new to the electrical stuff, so looking to err on the side of caution so I don’t end up burning my house down or trip the circuit breaker.
Any input would be helpful. Thank you.
