“The entrance to this structure was masked with the bodywork of an old van and effectively the rear door of the vehicle was used to enter the premises.
Inside, the equipment was an artificial underground oasis with artificial suns, consisting of 600-watt LED lamps each measuring two square meters in area.
As the total amount of these lamps and all the consumers of electricity implies an electricity consumption of about 50 to 100 kilowatts per hour, which requires a huge amount of current to power this whole system," Marinov added.
