Can i ask why not in series?get 4x560mm F-series double row in 3000K and an HLG-185-48A connect them all in parallel

Like this, but I'd use at least 4 bars.... You can use whatever you have as frame, we are not getting near thermal limits.
Where does one go about finding these strips ? Stupid question probably but you gotta start somewhereget 4x560mm F-series double row in 3000K and an HLG-185-48A connect them all in parallel

Yeah I’ve never heard of a 301h. Don’t believe it exists. I would just build a couple strip lights for the same price. I added 100 watts to my setup with two f564b strips. They don’t have 301b chips like my boards do, but the 561b+ chips in it are not shabby. If you really want 301b chips check out Atreum. I love their strips and boards and they were great when I was just starting out. Now I know how to navigate digikey and can build stuff from parts, but I wouldn’t have been able to get there without help from Atreum and of course the fine folks here.They claim to use Samsung LM301"H". That's the only thing that throws me off. Do we really, I mean SERIOUSLY, think this company is using them? I didn't even think they were that available at the moment.
If they're even real.
Nice touch theyvadd they'll "refurbish" your led panel at its near end lifespan and save you tons in replacements. Assuming they'll be around 10 yrs from now and this lights even relevant anymore. Lol.
If the driver is named HLGXXXh-XXa/b it has to be wired in parallel. If you want to wire in series use the drivers named HLGXXXh-Cxxx. That’s my understanding. You can wire any board or strip array in either series or parallel but if you want to be able to dim it you have to use one of the a/b series drivers and wire it in parallel.Can i ask why not in series?
That looks like basically the same strips I have except 3500k. Still an f564b. You’re correct on the driver as well. A 185h-48a driver would be perfect for 3 of them. I run my two off a 120h-48b. Only difference is that mine is dimmed with an external pot and a 48a has the dimmer built in. That configuration has to be wired in parallel. I would mount them directly to an extruded aluminum heatsink. Pick out some machine screws that will hold down the strip, and then buy the correct drill bit and tap kit so you can screw straight into the heatsink. Use thermal paste. A lot of people skimp and just stick the strips on with thermal tape. I advise against this.Okay so , judging by your replies , let me link something
3 of these, connected to aluminium bars w/ heatsink all connected to 185 48A driver that @ANC mentioned. I am still so unfamiliar with all the terms and how all this works but I am going to piece it together. All the advice is helping thanks champs
The limit of what is considered an intrinsically safe voltage is 48VCan i ask why not in series?
Catch me on Facebook, I also post on Cannabis Growers Club of South Africa Facebook group.Im pretty sure anc might build you a light if you ask him over pm; hes the only one i know in south africa who does this stuff. Try pm him.
And if your not in SA i apologize to everbody
You mean just as a rule of thumb? Anything above around 50Vdc is when it gets sketchy? Or what?The limit of what is considered an intrinsically safe voltage is 48V
Any light you look at on Amazon or eBay will say "wall watts" or "actual power draw". This is the true wattage of the fixtureOkay so all in all how do I work out the total watts these lights will be producing ?

We'll, they're 46V strips. The wattage is completely dependant on your choice of current. The data sheet says it's Maximum tested current isn't available but it's nominal test current is 1.12amps(1,120ma).No
No of the strips I linked
Pat of it is know what is available, you cant search for parts if you don't know they exist.Okay so , judging by your replies , let me link something
