hi all,
i'm a noob, want to start growing indoors at a small scale and came across https://www.supergreenlab.com/bundle/micro-box-bundle/.

i can't afford right now the whole bundle they offer and was wondering what would be a fair price for those lights only. Can i find something cheaper ?
I see on aliexpress only review-problematic sellers, with bigger panels to illuminate only from above.
As far as i read, they offer 6x15W panels, so 90 W, 3000lm per panel, with Samsung LM301b leds.
i'm quite comfortable with electronics, i can practically build & wire compatible DIY-grade hardware.

thanks!

That's a piece of crap as far as needs. That tent being that size 2x2 needs a good 150watts. And you can easily just build one for cheap. Cheapest drivers are meanwell XLG, ELG, or LRS Models. Strips galore on Digikey. I'm guessing you'd want 22"ish long strips?

thanks for the advice!
dunno yet the length - but i'll take your judgment over 2ftX2ft (60cmx60cm) ? - hope am correct - and 22" strips - as an idea to start thinking from.
thanks!
i know digikey - it's an absolute overflow of information - can you give me a specific example - link to a product?
thanks again!
