 Building an LED panel *help needed*

Hey all, was just after a little bit of advice.
I just ordered my LED lights and was wondering how i should wire these up.
I bought:
4 x 6500K cool white
2 x 430-440nm
4 x 450-455nm
2 x 620-630nm
8 x 640-650nm
6 x 660nm
2 x 730nm
I know that the lower spectrum (430-455nm) lights are more beneficial during veg growth and the higher spectrum (620-730nm)are more beneficial for flowering.
Should i wire it up so during veg growth only the whites and 430-455nm are running and when flowering only the whites and 620-730nm are running?
Cheers for the help, SxC
Edit:
Also i have just noticed some of the lights emit different levels of lumen. should the ratio be in lumen?
A ratio of:
1 x 430-440nm
2 x 450-455nm
1 x 620-630nm
4 x 640-650nm
3 x 660nm
1 x 730nm
Seeing as the lumen are as follows the number of lights shall be:
15lm 430-440nm
50lm 450-455nm
80lm 620-630nm
80lm 640-650nm
70lm 660nm
20lm 730nm
21 x 430-440nm
13 x 450-455nm
4 x 620-630nm
16 x 640-650nm
14 x 660nm
16 x 730nm
Are the 730nm all that important that that many are needed?
I am getting these ratios off this website

yeah i've been consulting a mate who is an electrician
Ill give that a go 
Do you know of any in depth led instructions, i had a look but most skip the drivers, wiring and don't mention the specs of their lights/power supply.
