Hi.
I bought a really small clone/seedling tent. Secret Jardin DP60. Its 60cm lenght x40cm depth x 60cm hight / 1 foot 11⅝ inches length x1 foot 3¾ inches depth x 1 foot 11⅝ inches hight.

Since the space is really limited i am considering LED. Im wondering if anyone have some suggestiones?

Thanks for any answers :)

Edit: meant clones NOT veg

Man you're unfortunately not gonna be able to do a while lot in that space, but I recommend watching Dirt Man Dan on YouTube and all his stupid micro grows.

SOrry, Veging was the wrong word :oops: I meant im using it for clones... lol

Have a 1m x2m x1m for veg and bloom. There i use 400Watt MH/HPS with adjust-a-wing reflector

Oooohhhh very nice. Clones need a very minimal amount of light. Really anything will do. An EB strip or 2 at 700mA will be plenty.

Ive got exactly that going. My veg is in a cabinet. Top shelf is 4) eb2 1' strips @ 10w each. Works like a charm. I go from rooters > 12oz plastic pots > 1/2 gallon and let them basically go til they almost hit the lights then move into main veg area.

Here you go man. 1ft Bridgelux EB Gen 2 strips in 4000k color temperature. Digikey doesn't have the 4000k in stock(available to order in larger quantities).

Can you order from Arrow?

You could use these or go with the EB Gen 3 for a couple dollars more.

Thanks. I will check it out right away.. im totaly new to LED so i guess i got some reading to do :P
correct me if im wrong but theese need a LED driver? :)

If you've never dealt with led, get yourself a 12v strip so you can just wire a 12v 1amp wall wart right to it so you dont need a driver

and tbh the most simple would be a t5 light imo. but runs warmer if u were to do the t5 lights go and get a led version of the bulbs I think Philips has a good one.

12V is usually those flexible ribbon things. Dont know of anything quality.
none I would just use a 24v and do bxebs. just because ive ran bxebs pretty low and they kick ass but I would just do a few ebs on a lrs 50 for the bxebs I would do the 1 footers because the area is like 23-24 inches by 15. so I would just do like 6 one footers on a lrs 50. would be a cool little light doe.
Bxebs run on 20ish i think, at least gen3.

What color temp are your EB2s?
Pretty sure they are 3500k. I went with @Chip Green suggestion of using BXEB-L0280z-35e1000-C-B3.

They are in stock at Digikey for $2.80 each still.

Lets ask you this, around your house, what kinds of power supplies do you have lying around? I.e: old phone chargers, electronic chargers, any kind of wall wart. Find however many you got and let us K of what they have printed on them.
They'll say something like:

12V 1amp.or 12V 0.25A.
Maybe even 24V 1A.

Just see what you have around.
