want to build some LEDs need help please :)
Good Day I want to build some LEDs to use for vegging plants early on say from seedlings
thru large clones
I have always used shop light with tubes and have no real compliant, I like the LEDs but I
I can build better to suit my needs
I would like to use 4 or 8 - 4 foot strips over each shelf, I was thinking these
https://www.digikey.com/en/products/det ... B3/7907662" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
may basic problem is I do not understand how to figure the best driver to use
or how to figure out the watts for each strips
I was going to shot for a range of 80 to 130 max for each shelf, I can run it dimmed at 80
for a max of 130 watts
any help would be outstanding and thank you
as i really do not know shit about these lights

I asked a question some where and the HID haters are all over it my god
it is unreal and I just love all the I get 3 grams a watt using LEDs, I just asked to cover
a 8 foot by 16 foot room with a 8 foot ceiling
with 2400 watts for veg and get plants to veg like this
I said if you use 2400 watts from the wall it costs the same no matter what is using the wattage
it cheap using LEDs I was told not with Con Ed Kilo Watts are Kilo Watts
maybe I should not have told some Admin how he must be getting 2100 grams dried/cured
out of his three tents drawing less then 700 watts total from the wall
I just joined at your link so hopefully some help to understand
all the best and be well
