High demanding or low demanding plants? Tank height(depth)?

my take height is 2ft.

how much amphere and voltage depend on how you connect the LED... assuming u connect them all in series.. 60 in series.. then you will need a voltage of 3x60 = 180Vdc , but currently only drawing at 0.15A..

but if you connect let say 10 in series and parallel 6 string, then your voltage need only 30Vdc, current 0.9A.

if you not sure what am I talking about.. go to those LED shops at Sim Lim and tell them what and how you want to connect, let them recommend u a correct power adaptor or LED driver.

I DIY a led light, using a driver of 12V 0.3A but the led won't light up. Any bro have any idea why? I using 0.5m SMD 5050 LED
