All the lights im currently using I built myself. Its pretty easy to make lights using led strips if you know anything about electricity, hopefully those work out for you but Im wary of a lot of led products sold on amazon, cuz cheap LED are junk usually, those werent super cheap so hopefully they work out for you. You can probably build an enclosure but it might be easier just to buy a 4x4 grow tent, you can get them from ebay fairly reasonably priced, here is one I found<a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/124222019899?hash=item1cec35993b:g:4eMAAOSw58Ze5Hq9" target="_blank">https://www.ebay.com/itm/124222019899?hash=item1cec35993b:g:4eMAAOSw58Ze5Hq9</a>I have a gorilla brand 4x4 ive been using for many years, they are really well built, but not cheap initially. you can find them cheaper if you search probably, this is similar to mine<a href="https://www.gorillagrowtent.com/products/4x4-grow-tent" target="_blank">https://www.gorillagrowtent.com/products/4x4-grow-tent</a>If you enclose your area well typically the lights will heat it plenty, my grow area has a line level thermostat with an exhaust fan that kicks in when temps get to 86.5f, to bring it back down to 85. I use a timer to try to keep the fan from running as much because that is wasted electricity when it kicks on and vents outside, but its good to get some fresh air in your grow area occasionally also. You can buy cheap 4" inline fans at places like menards to move air out of your tent when it gets too warm, if you want to get that intricate. Peppers can handle heat though so I wouldnt stress too much unless your temps get really high, maybe over 90f for extended periods. That probably wont happen with those lights I think.If decide to go all in and want tips about building a light I can get you started on that, typically if you build your own you will get 2-3x as much light for a similar price as buying one, at least with the cheap amazon lights. If you want to do some reading about lights this guy is a fanatic and sells lights also, hes honest and tests many higher quality lights and provides a lot of good information and comparisons between them.<a href="https://migrolight.com/blogs/grow-light-reviews" target="_blank">https://migrolight.com/blogs/grow-light-reviews</a></blockquote>
