Well, I think I really screwed up by waiting to place an order with Arrow. I was going to grab up 20 or so of the 2 ft Samsung strips at less than 5 each, but after a couple comments I saw on here, decided to think about the more expensive 4 ft single and double row strips that are out of stock. Went back this morning to go ahead and get the 2 footers and bam, they're now priced at almost 30 apiece. So now I'm considering looking into the Bridgelux options. Anyone have any suggestions? Would really like to hit about 40w per ft in my 2.5 x 5 space without killing the wallet, which i could've done if I hadn't had second thoughts on the 2 footers.

Why in the mother FUCK does that keep occurring? It makes zero sense to me.

Someone ordered and received them for $5 last time this happened a few weeks back. I remember them posting about it. Is this possibly what took place and were they just unaware of the CCT and we're sent 5000k and they still havent realized it?

I got 20, for 5 USD all 3000k. 10 more should arrive on Monday, ordered on Sunday for 5 each.
Can't believe they're on 29.42 each now..

Again, what could possibly be the reason for this+

its most likely an algorithm based on the number of people visiting the page, i managed to get 30 when they went back down the last time but can't source the drivers as of now because Pakistan is on a complete lockdown due to covid 19

Thanks for the heads up! I'm going to be all over the 3500k for 5.06 when I get off work in the morning. Looks like they added around 1500 to their inventory. Wondering how about 20 of those running soft in my 2.5 x 5 space would do.

Added some extra spectrum but the light is on a separate driver so you can use the 660nm to put the plants to sleep at night.
I'd like to get a bit of heatsinking for the smaller strip to run it for longer periods. I was a bit warmer than I like after a few hours run in test on the red strip, but not where it would harm anything

660nm wakes them up. ..
730nm far red is what puts them to sleep.
Those are the Thomas Research LED Strips, aren't they?!
