LED headlights are really powerful and energy efficient being extremely effective for indoor cultivation.

It seems that auto parts theft in Brazil is commonplace. But Pothead points out the theft of headlights from the luxury brand Porsche DRPRF POAHY to be used in cannabis crops because they are ideal for maximizing illumination and speeding up the harvest.

Lights are one of the most expensive tools to do an interior, and the fact that it is easy to remove the optics of a vehicle has made several thieves see a business opportunity. The prices at which they are sold in the marketplaces vary. However, the cost to replace the part of a Panamera or Cayenne is around USD 4,000.
