I'm currently using Sansi bulbs for my plants, but their low hanging height is a bit of a hassle. I'm considering switching to strip lights and I'm on the lookout for a more affordable alternative to the Sanlight Flex. I'm based in Germany, so any recommendations should be available locally or shippable to Germany. What do you guys use?

I've found that most strip lights aren't very powerful for succulents. I needed about five strips per shelf to promote compact growth, which isn't ideal. I’ve had success with random shop lights from eBay, and I recently got some Barrina lights. Just a tip: any light that's at least 6000k should work if you stack them right. If you're serious about it, consider getting a lumen measurement device because good PPFD light meters can be pricey.
I switched from shop lights to Sansi bulbs and honestly, the difference is huge. The plants with Sansi really thrive! Where did you pick up the Barrina lights, and how much do they cost?
