Yet Another Dumb Light Question for IKEA Grow Cabinet

Okay gang, I'm looking into new lighting for my grow cabinet. What I have works fine...minus that I shorted one pair of lights from a connector getting wet, me not noticing and plugging it in. :?

I have these:

And they're fine. Part of me feels like some slightly stronger lights would be good. The grow cabinet isn't that big, so some of the neat looking stuff from smooth looking brands like VIVOSUN are way too big to fit in the cabinet and want to hang from the top, and that would end up burning the plants in there. 2ft is the max length I can go for lights that I can fit under the shelves.

Any recommendations?

I like the reflectors on the Kihung LED grow lights, but I wish their color spectrum was higher than 3000K. That's pretty short on the blue light. This Barrina 6-pack of LED light strips has a better spectrum at 5000K, whiter and more sun-like.
