Is that the site u said isn’t easy to navigate? Lol, I see why u say that lol

Ya this is the one....and arrow is even more fkd up lol

both are great sites tho once you know exactly what your looking for

90cri they are not

but ya, he can still go cheap and buy the bxeb gen 2s in 3000k 80cri if he wants.

He better be quick tho, because finding them still in stock anywhere in 3k is gonna be tough, im surprised arrow still had them to be honest.

I know I copped some lmfao idc about the 80cri bc later i would add some luminous cxm22's

Honestly, arrow has 40 left in stock, OP should snap buy what he needs now, they are hella fkn cheap compared to any other strip for sure.

These strips have been growing dank for years.

The 6500k J Series strips from Cutter are 80cri, is that nit good? Their 3000k are 90cri tho

Can I ask what the estimated cost of (or budget for) this build is. Being a build for a 4'x8' canopy and all. Are strips being used mainly because they're the cheapest option? I'd assume - thought I read that.
@diggs99 @HardLuck71

 

[Gond00s]

More on the way then I. And do my build doing 16 on each

They are fine....all my lights are built with a mix of 80cri and 90cri....according to some very smart dudes, this was the best way to achieve spectrum with the jseries.


So i went half and half 80/90....but m strips are all 3000k

@diggs99 @HardLuck71

Not only concerned on cost savings, I want good quality at decemt price. I haven’t thought bout budget, maybe $600-$700 idk lol

I would tell you to buy the gen2 3000ks, my only concern is not being able to buy enough of them...they arent easy to find anymore and i think you need more than 40 for 4x8 canopy to run them efficiently.

I’m bout to say fuck it and just order 16ea of the J Series in 3000k and 6500k using 8 per 2’ x 4’ fixture, just dont know which driver would be best to use? . This chick I been talking too just offered to buy them for me lol, saves me over $300.

which is exaclty what i just said lol.

The Math is only good if he can find enough strips lol....he needs atleast 960w to cover the 4x8....so 3x320w fixtures would require 60 strips...arrow has 40

yup gotta go scurrying the internet to find them

$240 USD per fixture (including LED, heatsink, and driver? And omitting the odds and ends like wires and wagos - which is fine). Im curious the price comparison. I've known about "strips" and such, but have never tried them..yet.

 

[Gond00s]

I have everything already Bc I usually diy pretty frequently u don’t need a heatsink if u drive them low enough with many strips
