Welcome, Iron.
I suspect that I did what most led growers have done-buy a few cheap panels and find out that they constantly fail. I think the biggest challenge for a grower looking at led's is trying to find accurate specs to compare fixtures as well as how 'much' light do I need, anyway. Please take a look at ledgardener.com or migro.com or growmau5 on Utube for info on what to look for.
If you're even remotely mechanically oriented, you can build a fixture that will crush that space and last for years for under $175

You need about 30w/sq ft of canopy space

Building these are easy They literally have design plans for any model you would need.

If you can read and order feom the links they provide.... You should be able to plug them in when they get to your house. They even show the wire diagram.
