np, but you're still off. 3070 is pretty close to 200lm/W @350mA. That would be that 10% -- but for 3070.
some LED strip light info. strip types, wiring, adapters,etc. 5630-specific

Maybe you should use a top performing COB and same CCT.

Woah, all this COB talk! Sure are great and all...
This link has some nice info, especially about powering these strips and such.

Good luck with the cfls.. lol
It takes 300W of cfls to get this.

And those buds are probably still wet because that doesn't even look like 63g.
Don't use CFL... lol
That is just not true.

Any updates on this build?

Jepp! It works!
But I have only a few pics from the building process and my 12v driver have only 150w. But I need a 250w driver, because the red stripes takes a lot more power as the hardstripes. Each 50cm of this needs 10w.
I have 10 coolwhite and 5 warmwhites on the left side(60-30w=90w) and 5 warmwhites and 10 red 620-630 on the right side(30+100w!!=130w). Together 220w and thats too much for my driver, but I have tested each side alone and get these numbers from a kill-a-watt.
The other thing is the temp! The 90w vegging mode is no problem and the temps after 2h continous working are 40°C. But the side with red rises up to 65°c after 2h and both together needs to be activ cooled. About this reason I have added two 120mm fans at 5v. Now I have 35°c with the 130w side and hope 2 fans are also enough for 220w.
I've also two small "remote cable dimmers(12v/12A)" one for each side.
But at the moment I have too little time for a grow test, but I think with a good and flat trimmed plant canopy ...?! I have tested with Lux meter app and get max. 25.000lx @ 15cm. However, the Vegi side gives out 20.000lx and "only" 5000lx at the Bloom side.
The embedded light sensor seems not to detect the red LED's, but I think thats normal.
There is not so much to see, sorry, but in my country there may be problems, so no images associated with living plants. Thanks!

The heatsink have 60x 35cm and is only a 3mm thick alu sheet with 8 c-channels added on the backside with cheap thermal silicon adhesiv. The hardstripes also added with thermal silicon and the red stripes are self-adhesive.

Dear friends,
I'm sharing with you the results of my DIY LEDs strips SMD5630 bucket of light project.
I did some experimentation with various SMD 5630 red, blue, 2700k and 6500k white. It seems the 2700k and 6500k have more impact in my plants than the red and blue combination, I tried different combinations and ended building this grow bucket with 50w red/blue on the sides and 35w 2700/6500 on the top, 85w total. If I knew from the beginning the 2700/6500 were better I would have ordered more, because I didn't I had to use the red/blue as well to complete my project.
The results are not that amazing, there's some margin for progress. Still, I'm pretty happy with the results. The whole process of thinking, projecting and building this thing was funny and instructive. The LEDs alone costed me 12$ (10 meters, 6$ which roll)), I paid another 28$ for the AC/DC adapter, bucket and wiring stuff.
Find my bucket grow journal here: https://www.rollitup.org/t/bucket-grow-led-strips-diy-85w-smd5730.888772/
(by mistake I named the topic SMD5730, now it's too late to change, the LEDs used were 5630.
The plant is not done yet, still I like what I see.
Next grow will have a few improvements, but the light will be the same.

@OneHitDone I've been looking into a way to make a nock off sun cloak I've found 1830 lm 15.4 Watts a foot strips ran off four drivers so less light is wasted as it's growing
Anyone know how the power supply works they're 24v constant voltage 120w 9.4 amps output seems like I could only run one of these per 15 amp breaker, yet I want to run four of them one driver per foot up.
