Maybe I could start with about 6 strips and then expand to 12 if I end up needing more light. This approach would likely save energy as well since I wouldn't be using the full grow space from day 1. Getting a dimmable driver would also mean I have some flexibility in increasing/decreasing light inte...

Have you considered strips and panels? Plants don't care about CRI itself, but higher is better, all else being equal. If you check out the spectrums, higher CRI tend to have more deep red, and depending on CCT, more cyan and green. But, some emitters do things a little differently, so you want to ...

Strips are usually alot better than COBs for efficiency, there are plenty of options for strips now days. Thank you! LED strips seem easier to work with than COBs so that's good news. By what I can tell, the Bridgelux EB Gen3 strips are often recommended here. Are there any other type of strips wor...

Hello everyone! I'm growing carnivorous plants indoors on a 1.5x4ft wire rack and am interested in learning more about LED strips. I'm aiming to put the lights somewhere between 12 and 24 inches above the plants and I'm hoping to achieve a PPFD between 200 and 400 umol/s/m^2 (higher would be fine bu...

Hello everyone! I'm growing carnivorous plants indoors on a 1.5x4ft wire rack . So far, I've been using a mars hydro 300w, but it's now time to get LEDs for the next shelf of the wire rack and I'm interested in LEDs with more efficiency that hopefully give me more control on how the light is distrib...
