Grow room
Grow area 2ft d, 4ft w, 7ft h.
T5 4f 54w ho 8 tubes.
exhaust fan 6".
Oscillating Tower Fan
inkbird temperature controller.
Inkbird humidity controller.
greenhouse tube heater 4ft.
3 autopots.
(Maximum Grow Area Height 5ft.)

I have just started my fourth grow.
I've been happy with my T5, I like the T5 setup because as you know I can bring the lights very close and also I get a nice even canopy, so it's time to move on and upgrade.
I've been looking around and I've come up with LED strips, and because my grow height is limited to 5ft.
This is what I am thinking of doing, fixing strips to aluminium utube then attaching utube across aluminium rectangle bar approximately 1 metre long and spacing strips evenly.

This is where the fun starts, I know nothing about these strips are part from what I have read and seen on youtube.
I know some strips are more energy saving and you need twice as many, so on thinking 50 watts minimum.

I only want 2ft strips. I know it's not just about wattage but I think I maximum wattage 425w or there about
Which of these strips do you think would be better for my setup.

1. I would like to mix strips from veg to flower and I am thinking 3 of each strips, 35OOK and 3OOOK, the 35OOK should keep stretch down and tighter nodes. Is that right.
2. Dig-Key. MFG_F-SERIES SI-B8U521560WW. Can't figure out wattage
3. Dig-Key. inFlux_L09-Series SL-B8U7N90L1WW. Can't figure out wattage
4. Diyleduk. Samsung H-inFlux LM301B I can only find these in 3OOOK, double LED 70 watts.
Attach photos

I am open to any suggestions and where to buy from.

Thanks.

16 of those (or 8 x 2) running at 20 watts each will be good for that tent. Plus they'll be really cool if you use the aluminum bars you said.
That's basically what I'm building except I'm doing 2x7 @ 1400ma. I know that's pushing those EBs to max, but it was the most bang for my buck when I was spec'ing it all out. Arrow had the best prices I've found. I should have all the components and materials by the end of the year. I'll post the build when the time comes.
