In this video I display my take on a DIY LED strip light panel. The panel is made of aluminum ducting and LED 5050 strip lighting. If you attempt to make a similar panel on your own, I encourage the recycling of old components (in my case power strip, wires, power adapter, etc) so as to both minimize the cost, and increase its environmental sustainability.

My plants have been growing under this light for some time now and they are not exhibiting any signs of stress indicating that the panel produces sufficient light. This panel appears to be best for short growing plants at a fairly close distance (circa 8 inches) rather than for larger scale applications.

Before embarking on a similar project, I encourage you to research pre-made LED panels. Depending on how many components you need to purchase, it may be more economical and time efficient to just purchase a pre-made panel.

Thanks for watching!
