thanks to help from peeps on this forums and others I have completed my fuge light. It uses 7 red Cree XP-E2 and 7 royal blue Cree XP-E2 leds driven by a meanwell hlg driver. The leds are glued into an old UV led flood light. Leds cost me 2 bucks a piece. Star boards I purchased 100 for 20 bucks soldered the leds on myself.
The only thing I might add is a fan to the top of the fixture for cooling. I am monitoring temps.
