Lighting Side lights - extra light needed

[DrAnonymousGreen]

At the moment I'm only running 4 HPS lights which is fine but my room is lacking light along the sides

What am I best to look for? Basically 1m strip light if possible? Something I can just use for covering the dark spots along the edges as I find my plants are all pulling towards the centre of the room for the HPS lights

Don't mind making up a custom housing as can have something made on a CNC machine if needed

Best place to start looking would be appreciated also parts I can get in the UK without much hassle

Cheers

I grabbed a cupple of these to pimp my low power/heat summer grow

There were only $35au each so if you have a bit of a search probably good value!
600mm long 100 wide about 80 high

They have various color combos, might be an option

I know it’s a little late for a reply but I built a bar a little over a year ago with mars drivers that’s been changed over recently.

It now has a constant voltage driver wired in paralell. It’s an hlg-120-48 150 watt driver. There are 6-1812 citizens on it. The frame is 6 feet long and made out of 80/20 extrusion. In the slot or channel I sandwiched in 1/8th aluminum the length of the frame. The cobs are mounted directly to the aluminum without a heatsink. (Tested with a heat gun numerous times) it ran cool enough without heatsinks that I didn’t put any. Due to the crazy dimensions I had planned on putting a back cover with a fan extracting the air out. This would have drawn air from the edges and cooled the whole length of the bar. But temps hovered between 110-125 degrees on the back side of the cobs so I never installed it.

Very old picture, but it shows the original light before the change over.
