Gotcha, however I will be using the 2500 SMD strips

I went of the 304 based on the QB diode amount. Should have specified. Ill be using an entire reel per light.
I am going off the spec sheet here: https://horticulturelightinggroup.com/collections/quantum-boards/products/quantum-boards

Looking at this section:
108.3 112.5 1050 113.71 118.1 177.5 171.2 2.59

Want to use 1 reel per light. Some help there would be great
Sorry for teh confusion, not using the rigid strips but the tape.
@Stephenj37826 Any help there?

Those are not light strips. Those are reels of LEDs for assembly on boards - not a finished product.

Any updates on this trippy lmao I really hope you didnt buy a couple spools of LM561C chips.

Haha no kidding. It would be so hard to get them lined up evenly and get them nice and flat on a surface.

I've seen a few really clean builds using them though. Like this one



BUT I dont know if it's just me or if the LEDs are sagging in the middle when it's hung up



But damn, it would be a pain in the ass. Not to mention you have to solder them versus the F series strips having poke in connectors that make wiring it very easy.

The F series strips are so cheap. I cant imagine you'd save much money using a reel.
