LED for Side Lighting Recommendations?

[T.C. Bosby]

I have a 3x'3'x8' grow tent. Given the vertical space I have to work with, I'd like to get some more mileage out of it. I'm using a 315W CMH as my primary light source.

I was thinking about adding in some LED side lighting, especially during flowering. Any recommendations? Only one I've seen so far is made by KIND, and their 2 foot side lights are around $120, and the 4 foot versions are over $200. I was hoping to find something a little more budget friendly.

I might as well save my money and get this for $40 at Home Depot.

I'd get a better disappointment to dollar ratio. Thank you!

I would recommend building something with Samsung hard strips. They are solderless and it is very easy to use them. There is a thread on here about them. good luck.

This is 100 watts. It has white, red, blue, UV, and IR on it. Got it from China.
I grow in 400 watts of HPS and add this stick light during flower.
I read somewhere...LED's add the dank. I want dank.

Try COBS..

Cobs aren't for side lighting.

They actually run BETTER vertically on heatsinks, bro. Don't just jump to conclusions.
