I have an old MH / PC 6' fixture that I rebuilt. There are 3 - 250w halides and 4 96w actentic blue PCs. I need some night lighting and some supplement to the PCs during morning and early evening when halides are off.
There is a 1" metal strip on both sides between the MHs and PCs.
I would like to DIY 6' strips of blue leds that would be dimmable.
Anyone have a link to a previous diy or any suggestions.
Currently thinking about using thin aluminum channel and just putting higher end led strip lights in them and a dimmable power supply. But I havent seen the output of cheap roll/strip leds even the slightly better ones. Im sure they would be fine for night viewing but would they supplement the fluorescents during the day at all?
These below are kinda cheesy but better than they used to be...
