Thanks for quick the response and information. Seen plenty and before I make a purchase what wattage or preference of strips peaked your interest. Link to any you would recommend.

Went ahead and pick these up.
NEWCITY 16.4ft/5m 5:1 5050 No-waterproof Grow LED Strip Light Aquarium Greenhouse Hydroponic Plant 12V 12W+12V 5A power supply 12w/meter

I did not find 5630 in red/blue spec.I believe these will do with just additional side lighting and benefit of looking dope.
Appreciate the insight and information

Well the new veg box is up and ready to fill with plants. Passive Intake with a widow fan behind the wall 2 80mm pc fan exhuast
This new light at full power 105 watts. 5630 led diodes 240 per plate 6500k 23-25lm per diode. 16.4 ft/ 72watts per roll used 24ft of strips.
180w 15 amp 12v power supply with voltage control. I have it set to its lowest setting under half way in these pics. Wow holy brightness! The other great thing about it is this frame can attatch the 80w 3000k to 3500k cob light straight to it easy wire job and i have an all around full spectrum light

Really cool...wonder if a reflector of sorts would improve it's efficiency.
