      They don't, OP is getting called out in that thread by all the reddit stoners and they're upset about it. Here's the last of several edits:

      Edit: apparently I’m getting a lot of hate for my title and the connection of Porsche headlights and weed growing. I didn't want to attack anyone personally, I just wanted to show how easy it is to steal headlights for several thousand Euros. The only explanation we got was the story that it can be used for cultivation. It was not my intention that all hobby growers and light experts should come forward and teach me.

        they might be really efficient, making them harder to detect by the authorities via energy consumption measurement of households, but... You can just buy LED grow lights. I'm guessing people just sell them for cash

      Headlights or any form of artificial light is needed for indoor growing. That way you can manipulate the light cycle of the plant (12 hours on, 12 hours off or 16 hours on, 8 hours off or even 5 hours on 1 hour off, though I don't think that last one would work). Porsche headlights are probably used because they are very powerful and relatively easy to remove, though I'm not sure about that.

      Edit: you probably wouldn't want to use headlights though, would be a nightmare to get working properly and the title of the post is probably a "reddit moment"

        you're correct, they're both easy to remove and are very powerful high intensity discharge xenon lamps
