Building your own lights

There’s kits that you can buy and save some money. You can also consider building lights by building from individual components. Here’s a link to a thread that has the answers to everything you would need to know about building your own. It’s over 8000 post now, but you can ask questions there and get all the guidance you would need.

There’s also videos on YouTube to guide you step-by-step. I opted to build lights with Pacific Lights Concepts Photo Boost Strips. There’s other options of Led components available also. I’ll link the video I used to build unit that is for a 2x4 space. I built 2 of them to use in a 4x8 tent. The video is complete, it list all of the components needed and links to Amazon to purchase most of the supplies. The guy in the video is the owner of PLC Light company. He goes by greengenesgarden on YouTube and has videos listed under Pacific Light Concepts. You can build one of these lights for less than $400 depending on where you order components from. While you may not be interested in DIY option, at least this will give you some idea of what can be done.
