I'm trying to put together a setup using strips (2' 3' or 4') to replace T5s for a shelf setup. Shelf is 24"x40"x72". 3 shelves Would like to use strips. Could anyone offer build advice? I'm a newb and don't know a ton about voltage/wattage, corresponding drivers...etc.
Ideally I could get 1 driver (dimmable) to power 3 sets of (2) 2' strips. (or 3 single 4' strips)
I've seen Sun Board 96 LM561 or LM 301b on eBay for reasonable prices. Some listings include a compatible driver.
If I''ve missed good threads to follow please link to them. Otherwise any advice on building a system to suit my needs is most welcome!

I have a new waterproof product that will be released at the end of this month that is really good for these applications also, 4000k CRI95
Mine will cost a little more than a normal strip but I believe it is well worth it
Maybe take a look at my Instagram to get an idea of the product as I'm displaying some of the trials that are going on around the world on there

Ended up getting some 6500k 96 Samsung lm301b strips, sinks & a driver.
(4) 15" strips
(2) 36" heatsinks

Will be putting it all together this wkd and will report back. Thinking all 4 on one shelf, but might be able to run them separate... not sure.
I have t5 fixtures w/ led bulbs, but find the 3-4" is takes up valuable headspace, I can likely cut that to 1-2" w/ led strips...
