What is the best lighting.

This is true with everything in life I've found, not just growing. Most of us definitely feel your pain though
I do too. That, and "even though this is what I want now, buy the larger thing because guaranteed, I'm going to expand, and buy two in case of failure".

CMH with far red strips or boards?

You'd want boards or cobs to mirror hanging height and reduce shadowing.

Are you saying that you cannot hang strips the same height as boards or Cobs?

I'm saying they are less effective ran that high, unless you run them at a higher ma, which reduces their life expectancy.
I don't advise it, but it can be done?
(EDIT: They are all modified pcb tech, sometimes I just view certain applications to be more effective when ran in tandem. My opinions aren't to be considered to be fact, however I do try to understand the physics of the lights I build/use because it interests me as another side hobby.

CMH with far red LED is a killer combo. They make boards specifically to be run alongside them. https://growlightsaustralia.com/product/high-light-225w-max-high-red-2800k/

Those look great. Wonder what shipping to the us would be. I'd still try to add a few monos in the 660/730 range on another channel, but it looks wonderful, especially alongside the hortilux 4200k bulb.
Going to browse cutter now lol.

I've been thinking about adding a couple to my personal light stash. Shipping was a little steep. Just over $50.00 USD for two boards and heatsinks delivered to the East Coast.

Cutter has the nicha in linear strips and board pcb, gonna compare a spine 80/20 build vs these.
I have been working on a 3d design of a light that I'm going to building, I'll post at some point, when I finalize it. Been busy lately and been hella lazy on my day off.

Theres a discount thru them i think for RIU. Might be Forum? But shipping isnt cheap to the other side of the world. Im currently running the Hortivision 3000k 630w DE CMH lamp. CMH has such a wide spectrum.

Though I might just cobble this together and get a 5.5x5.5 room going and blast it.

Its a knockoff of the fluence spyder.
Like any other light you buy from alibaba, if its actually built with the parts they claim and you dont care so much about warranty, then yes, it would be considered a good deal.
