    If that's the case, I'm guessing you're not even supposed to be talking to strangers in a forum... :p

    Online is cheaper than brick and mortar retail, most always. 2nd hand is cheaper, such as Craigslist, but that would likely not be approved of either...haha

    You're confusing....you previously said you're not allowed to "buy and sell" online.

    .....moving on, considering how directional LEDs tend to be, I'm betting you'd want at least 2 fixtures for a length of 2 feet... depending on what you wanna grow correlates to the amount light required...

    So, I'm gonna say a single par 30 isn't enough. But, others may disagree... :p
