@colegota @hobbsc It’s common OSRAM T8/G13 LED tubes, 6500K, 22W … not so expensive. https://gs.morphtown.de/url/70763
Hi people at !grow and !chili After read this thread by @morph I'm thinking in trying to grow my own using a non-working old fish tank.
I'd like to have opinions and suggestions about it.
The tube light system does not work, the idea it's to use the empty tank without cover.
For light I'm not sure if buy an all-in-one" compact tube [1] or maybe made a combination of linear lights [2].
Also read that combinations of blue and red leds are better that just white.
What do you recommend?

@colegota It depends upon how much natural light will get to your plants. The less natural light the more important will be a combination from e.g. a red planting light tube and a cold white one. I think just the white LED row is not enough, better get tubes, also cheap oldschool flourescent tubes are possible. Of course if one wants to invest, they can always get optimized fancy stuff like that … https://gs.morphtown.de/url/75479
@morph @mikael no much natural light. All my windows are North oriented, while the window at this room it's wide, it's indirect light.
I'd like the idea of use LED as a way of less power consumption instead of fluorescent or old light systems.
About colors, did read that blue was better for glow and red for blossom. Then my idea was to combine in some rows of that linear strips. But using red and blue lights maybe convert my room in a night club. ;)
Maybe with those strips I can play with use different colours at different times, and also maybe with those ones RGB that you can change the colour at any moment.
Also read that hight temperature whites (around 6000ºK) are also good.
I'm totally mess now! :)

@colegota An own night club in your home is not that bad. :)
