2x4 EB Gen 2 Strip Build Help Needed
8 watts per foot of strip is a good value to work off. It depends on how much you want to spend. In a 2X4 I would put 12 2 foot strips or 6 4 foot strips, the 12 strips would give a better spread than the 6.

I hooked the xlg200 drivers to 6 strips, they are nowhere close to their temperature limit, but I guess I'm running them pretty hard.
You could add some red, or UV, but I guess your budget would be pushing you towards red. Cutter has some wide phosphor converted reds that cost 1.5$ a piece, that cover 630-850nm, and some of the last gen red strips are 20au$, so 2 would maybe fit in your budget without shipping costs.
If your in the US, then steves led also sells some pretty cheap discrete diodes.
