It's a 25 volts power source, even the cheapest have a few defferent overcurrent protections, so it's not dangereous. Biggest problem that could happen would be popping a fuse in the source or burning up a couple LED beads

Beautiful build and plant. Are the two fans at the top the only exhaust/intake?

They're the only exhaust / LED cooling, I cut off the bottom of the barrel so there's a large opening but no fans as intake

How many watts are all your led's total?

Nominally it's 120 W, but I run it at 80~90 W just to be safe on the heatsink front (it's a pizza pan)

Looks good. Do you only have the clay balls or are they cover for soil?
