I would make my own with samsung led strips. How many watts are you aiming for? It's really easy to do even if you have no electrical experience.

Kinda depends if I'm needing to flower in LEDs or veg in LEDs my hps is 600w so if I flower in LEDs it needs to be stronger and if I veg it can be weaker if my knowledge is correct.Aaaand your prolly correct I could make one I guess but at the moment the money to just buy one big one or two medium is available so I'm definitely gonna go that route lol because I'm hoping to get the tent and light very soon so I'm looking for advice on a top notch light and how to use it with my hps to harvest more often.I appreciate the idea tho mate.

If you want to keep temps down to get those terpenes fully expressed LED is easier to control your environment with. Drawback being the lack of running AC may require humidity control. Samsung strips as suggested are excellent, EB's being up there and cheaper. Quantum boards are very nice and if you want to go nuts, Chill LED makes killer 4 channel boards with supplemental far reds and UVA. You could also just add these to your DIY. It can be very simple and easy and still effective, or you can get crazy with it. Rapid, HLG, TIMBER, Chill led, all great companies, i get my stuff from Digikey and Arrow or mouser along with the occasional trip to home derpo.
