Turning waste into treasure, Mei Farm successfully uses discarded LED lights to grow a variety of crops

The feasibility of this initiative was first discovered by Mark Brown of the farm, who one day saw a damaged traffic light abandoned on the side of the road, apparently due to a traffic accident. The traffic light was damaged. He figured he could fix the lamp and sell it to some hardware store or something. When he went back and turned on the traffic light, he was surprised to find that the LED bulb inside was intact. He had heard about using LEDs to grow crops on the farm, so he tried it out of curiosity and successfully grew some broccoli, cabbage and onions.
