LED module strip build ? Thank you !

Yes hello ! I am exploring some different led options and having some fun in doing so !!!! I love to grow it’s so therapeutic and I love to think about different LED light setups I could do. So I am wondering if people could chime in on some led strips or quantum board strips or module strips that are promising ? Not exactly sure what they are called ....?Also where to purchase them... some of the strips I’ve looked at have two rows of chips, side by side on the strip and look to be incredible. Ok thank you for your time !!


Also how do I determine the wattage they are run at ? Like on the website digikey they have the info for the strip but I can’t figure out how many watts the strip is supposed to have hooked up to it.

@diyled also sells parts that you can build your own fixtures with. He's got new strips coming soon too with added reds, far reds.

Samsung F Series double row strips are good.

you want the 3000K or 3500K strips, not 5000k

The 560mm BXEB gen2 3500K will kick far more, than 5 bones worth of ass each.

Do you think that the Samsung strips are much better then the bridgelux?

Both are good. Some of the F-Series are higher power, fewer needed on larger builds. Buy from Digikey and Arrow Electronics.
