Hey, how's it goin?

Don't take this the wrong way, but I don't see any evidence of these being grow lights. They look like the LED strip lighting with adhesive backing commonly used for accent lighting in the automotive industry.

I second that opinion. If you want to use LEDs as grow lights, which is a great idea since many of them are fantastic for growing plants, I would recommend the marshydro 300w. It's relatively cheap, lights up a lot of space, and turns your plants a vibrant shade of red even when then are quite far from the fixture.

I love sundews.

They are grow lights but used inside hotboxs for seeds. Which I didn’t know at the time. But thanks. I want to get more light with less heat.

With LEDs, the light and heat are going to track eachother pretty well. However, the electronics that drive the LEDs may vary in how efficient they are, and if you could have the driver outside your enclosure, it would certainly reduce the interior heating.
Most LED fixtures have built in electronics, and IME, they run a lot cooler than any other options, so I'm not sure it's worth worrying about.

I needed up getting the 600w version and moving the plants to my basement where it’s a steady cool temperature year round and they are doing so much better.
