Ok...I am probably a nuisance but as I see it ...One buys the brightest LED lighting strips ....that are available...5630 leds are nearly twice as bright as 5050 leds and 7020 are brighter than 5630's... so in my mind I would be best to buy 7020's....Being for plants I would be best to get waterproof Strips which are a lot more expensive than non waterproof....according to my research .....

But can one buy 7020 Flexible lighting strips ...I do not know ...if not one could change the design and use non flexible strips.....

Next is colour ..should I use cool white or warm white ...What I have read cool white could be the best option ...

Next is RGB Strips but I have not found these in 5630 or 7020 LED's ...I have found them in individual colours IE Red Green and Blue....Therefore I presume one could make up ones own ratio of colour by combining these......

It seems to me that these would be easy to connect up with everything available online including clamping clips...It will not cost me a fortune but would I be throwing my money away..I do not know...hopefully i am not on my own and somebody here could give me an opinion...

I see there is a multitude of extremely interesting videos on Youtube about LED's ...
