6 cabs in built in wardrobe, 500w LED, perpetual, coco DTW

Each cab will be aprox 125 x 60 x 75 cm (WxDxH) It’s a bit over 6 sq ft in imperial.
I made a Veg closet with two veg “cabinets” in this dimentions, spacing it differently I can fit 3 layers for flower.

So far heat haven’t been a problem, but I run these no name china strips on a very low mA current.
Still exploring different options, either just up the number of strips and cheap drivers.
Or buy quality Mean Well drivers, and run them on a higher mA current.

Im playing around, and won’t build anything until I have done some more testing.
Heat is not an issue at all, but only got around 144 Watt in each cabinet atm.
Even during the hottest summer this yeah, the cabinet was mannagabe with a good airflow.

I got a thread about my LED test, there is also a few more details about the closet.
Im well into a spectrum test around 25W/sqft, but not happy with the bud size compared to my 50-55W/sqft HPS buds.

More test grows will be done, this LED stuff is fun and it will be a blast if I can make it work for me.
