I'm looking to add 2 led strip to my Sunpower. I'm hoping they will make my colors pop more.
I already have 5 meanwell lpc-35-700 drivers. If I remember correctly each driver can run 12 leds. My question is what leds should I use? I was thinking 2 strip of 12 each consisting of 8 450nm and uv? Can I run different leds off the same driver? What would you do?

I am sure T5 LED have UV already. I would just use BLUE LEDs to make corals pop. The UV or Blue or RED LED don't matter. Just use the same type like 1W, 3W, 5W..... for each driver...

So I guess my question is which wavelength is best?
400nm
410nm
440nm
Etc..
