Been lurking here for a couple of weeks and decided to join. I am one Canadian that is going to get a head start before the rush
![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
I want to build something that will just work, standard build that will work start to finish with no change outs. Build it once and use it.
Here is what I am thinking of ordering so far:
25 Samsung SI-B8T05128HUS 4000k
2 HLG-150H-24A
I will wire parallel with 12 strips per driver, strips attached to aluminum u-channel for heat-sink.
Questions:
Is this to much/to little for a four plant limit? How much square feet do I need for the plants? I was thinking 2' X 2'.
Is 4000k a good middle of the road colour temp?
You thoughts on using the two driver setup as opposed to one?
Do I use heat sink plaster to attach strips or thermal tape strips? Does thermal tape allow the strips to be removed if I want to change something? Can they be attached using thermal paste?
Do I need Wagos? If I do what is the model number that fits these strips? Mouser has them and would order with my drivers.
Appreciate any help you can give!
