Man, your grow light setup sounds clever—I've always wanted something like that for my herbs on the windowsill but never got around to it. For me, the strangest thing I've tinkered with was using a couple of those mini linear actuators to make a hidden compartment slide open under my workbench drawer. Nothing fancy, just a small false bottom that pops out when I hit a switch, perfect for stashing tools I don't want the kids messing with. The force was plenty at around 40 lbs, and they fit perfectly in the narrow space without any bulk. I've found that mini linear actuators like the ones from Progressive Automations handle these sneaky little jobs really smoothly, especially when you need quiet operation and don't want something oversized. It's kinda satisfying watching it glide out on its own. Anyone else got similar sneaky or automated drawer/door tricks going on?
