After building the box. it's time to install the LED strips that will provide all the light out plants need

First, I cut the strip at the right length to fit into the aluminum bar and connected all the pieces using the solder and two wires

Then, the LED strips have been placed in the housing. The adhesive on the strip is enough to take the LEDs safely in place

The covers have been then put in place

This is the final result

UPDATE

due to the changes I talked about in Gr0G - 06 - Building the box , the connection of the LEDs has changed
