Ok so currently im running 14 2ft single row f series strips on 2x 185-24a in a 3x3, and its doing well.

Im trying to drop my tent and use the closet the tent is in. Closet measures 7' D x 5' W x 7.5 H. Im looking to use a 3 x 5 or 3.5 x 5 area. Gonna get 10 more strips, and already have a third driver.

Would like to do a 4x5 but dont think ill have enough light. What would you guys do with 24 strips, 3x 185 24a, and my closet? Thanks for any input.
 
Ok so im doing the 4x5 area. I think id wish id done it had i gone 3x5. Already purchased a 4th driver and enough aluminum for 14 more strips. Gonna build 4 2' x 2' 7 strip lights to cover a 4x5 area. Should be ok yeah? Strips are gonna be 3.5" apart on each light. 28 strips is gonna be enough?

What strips?

Sorry, missed that.
You have 740 watts and a 20sq. ft. area, 740/20=37 watts/sq ft., that will be fine.

I figured with a fourth driver id have it power wise, but wasnt sure about strip count. The above link is recommending 12x 4fts for a 5x5 and 20 watts less than im running, so i should be a little more than good with 28 strips. Thanks!

You're upwards of 600W - that's more than enough for a 4x4 space.
