Any use for HLG-240H-24B?

Ordered the wrong damn thing and I now have four of these. Of course I could return them but what the hell. I'm addicted to these LED builds. Any suggestions for a build or should I just just send them back?

Four QB120s in parallel? (I know HLG recommendeds series though.)

The Gen1 Bridgelux EB series is 22.1v typical at nominal (700ma)....
14x 560mm EB gen1 ,in parallel, would bring each strip in just a shade over 700ma, and 17w+....156 Lm/w on paper at that drive....

I light up 2x4 areas with sections of 15 of em with CC drivers at 700ma, get around 1.5% voltage droop with ZERO heatsinking....

H Series Samsungs are all 24v - take your pick of 1', 2' or 4' strips. F Series 1' and 2' (single row) are 24v. Q series 2' strips are 23v and advertised 200+lpw

there are also 24vdc led stripes with 7led cuttable units and less power lost in resistors

and rigid bars smd5630 with the same caracteristic:

Samsung F Strips. Even the 46 V strips could be used if you stack two drivers in series.

Send them back. It's like going to a restaurant and finding out they are out of what you wanted. You will never be happy making a compromise. 24v is a shit voltage for LEDs. I always go for the 48v or 54v due to their higher efficiency. And will not electrocute you. I currently like two EB Gen 2 strips in series powered by a 48v HLG. I am currently going to test if they can be wired in parallel. I'm making a prototype board with 10mOhm shunts to supply each set of boards.

@nfhiggs suggestion is good too. F-Series are very good. The EB Gen 2 are lower priced with comparable lm/w. In the next week or two I will be measured the PPFD of both strips. the lm/W are too close to tell which is superior. Lumens are too precarious to be used for horticulture. I need to know PPFD. Even radiometric watts can be deceiving.

Update: You do not need to double them up. Each one can power an EB Gen 2. You will be happy with that setup.

are you shure - and did you try that with your own drivers ?

.. two 24 vf drivers in series = 48vf?
.......have a diagram?

hey im doing it now @OLD MOTHER SATIVA - it works fine - the meanwell drivers all have protection built in so run em series or parallel - thats what theyre designed to do

sorry to question you..are you talking about pcbs in parallel/series..or drivers...?
he is talking about drivers..plus to minus wiring...

im running 2 in series with another on top in parallel
3 x 150s 24b's running 48v @1380mA for my influx strip lights - 450watts running 8 influx lm09s
hey , i had to do something with em they were free lol

@OLD MOTHER SATIVA
im talking about meanwell drivers running in parallel and in series - they work fine, im reading a few resources before i tried it ,
they are built so you can create any circuit you need with 1 or more
what decided it for me was the second video on drivers from ledbuilder com website
how do you think they get those 72v cxbs to run, lol?

thanks... both of you!
