low power LED's rarely cause an issue but I am not an expert, simply they use so low voltage that the current cannot flash over or arc.
But looking at your photos I think you can save money by cancelling your property insurance because I am of the opinion if you have an issue with this you will never see serious money from your insurance company.
A friend of mine worked for an insurance carrier years ago; company policy was the 3D's, DENY, DEBATE, DELAY (payouts).
If you get professional advice be sure you get it in writing, just an opinion from someone who lives with a bunch of lawyers lol : )

Why pay good cash to an insurance carrier who will most likely never pay out in this scenario; just my ignorant opinion . . .
Cute :)
Should there be an issue, I assure you it won't be from my electrical skills. I don't work pretty, I work safe though. Unless there's some issue with LED's I'm unaware of 'failure wise,' insurance regarding this won't be an issue anyway. lol
The insurance racket is definitely a racket. Nice to see people like yourself spreading the info though. Ty :)
Thank you for the Cute : )
Living with lawyers is rarely ever cute; you ask them " did you take the rubbish bin out ? "
They reply ' It depends . . . '
This is where I am forced to say " look this convo is not billable; did you take the bin out or not ? "
They reply ' maybe '...
Good luck with your project, how will cardboard handle moisture the plants give off ? ? ?
Is plastic not an option; just an uninformed, unpaid opinion : )

At a 17w output, this will not be a high energy grow, transpiration rates will be fairly low. The local RH is also between 20-28%, great environment for it. Very dry air will be moving through at all times. Even so, I'll be able to produce several hundred seeds. :)
Plastic should be fine as well. I've always avoided it before, due to the high temps of the lighting, now I don't see where it would really be an issue. With multiple lamps, the heat would definitely be higher, I would look to wood, however thin, instead. Lots of possibilities with these new lamps. :)
