Hello everyone!

Today is a big day for me because today I'm joining officially the DIY LED community! My 32x F564B from Digikey just arrived!
After months of research throught forums, videos, etc. I decided to go with the Linear Strips Build. The light uniformity, energy efficiency and build overall cost were the main reasons I have picked this build.

Over the course of the next weeks I will assemble this build and keep this thread updated. In less than a month the light will be completed and turned on

This is my contribute to the DIY LED community. I hope this thread might help someone in the future as many others helped my in the past.

your driver link is incorrect, jfyi
how are you wiring these?

Takeshy said:

I'm wiring in parallel. 8 strips per driver

psychedelicdaddi said:

You could do seven in series on the driver listed

Takeshy said:

Yeah, I didn't buy the driver yet because I'm still thinking which route I will choose, series or parallel.

Do I have this correct for these strips?, 46v x 1400mA = 64.4 watts x 8 = 515.2 watts per driver?
HLG-600H-48B $170 (can probably get 9 per 579.6w)
32/9=3.55; so buy 4 of those and 4 more strips?

ps the EB Gen2's are out.

Takeshy said:

I would rather split the strips between multiple drivers.

Why do you want to use wagos, istead of the connectors on the strips? I just see some unnessecary disruption... please explain! It‘s all one panel, as you showed in the last picture? It‘s also way more work, because you need to strip way more wire ends.

And I just would like to understand, I don‘t have the knowledge to say, if it‘s good or bad!
