****Edit: The mystery has been solved, but the discussion continues. If you are looking for specific part numbers for your build, go to post #4. Everything is listed there***
Let me preface this by saying that I am still very much a green horn in the LED community. I am learning more everyday, but I still have a long way to go. So if this is something obvious that I am missing, I apologize.
Onto my question. I am looking at building a light that can cover a 2x4 area It seems like most people are using 2 foot strips for this. Why wouldnt you use a 4 footer? They are both $32 each for a 46V strip. I feel like I'm missing something....
Two foot strips - SI-B8V521560WW
Four foot strips- SI-B8V521B20WW
I would post links to make it easier for everyone, but I dont have permissions yet. I was looking at digikey.
Bonus question: I had originally spec'ed out a COB build, but its seems like strips give me more bang for my buck over all the other options. Does that seem accurate? Building something isnt an issue for me so ease of build is a non-factor. Im simply looking at bang more my buck.
Thanks everyone!
