Plantaform Smart Indoor Garden Review: Rewarding but Risky

It was about a week into my journey as a hydroponic lettuce farmer when I noticed my Mila air purifier, set to auto mode, was running at full blast. Its internal air quality sensor told me the air was dirty. Not sure if the sensor was overly sensitive, I swapped it out for the more powerful and far quieter IQ Air Atem X (9/10 WIRED Recommends) and set it on auto mode. Next time I went into my son’s room, the Atem was running at its highest speed. I checked the room’s IQAir Visual Pro Indoor Air

7 Best Outdoor Lights (2025), Including Solar Lights

Here are a few things to keep in mind when you go shopping for outdoor lights. Power: For most outdoor lighting, you need to run a cable to a power outlet, so you will want an outdoor socket.

Just be aware that large power adapters and awkwardly shaped plugs will not fit in outdoor sockets, so you will likely also want some kind of weatherproof box. I like the large D
