HLG120H 54A For Samsung F 48v strips

I'd a spare driver lying about, the MW Hlg 120h 54A 49v - 53v, 1.1 - 2.3 amps
So I hooked it up to 3 x 2ft Samsung gen 3 f strips 4000k - 43.7v - 48.4v.
Driver dimmed to min it gives around 33 wall watts and full blast around 128 wall watts on kilowatt meter.
Seems to be working fine so far...... I've set it to 100 watts for vegging
Anyone else try this?

They run from half the rated voltage. Any led with a FV of 27-54V would work on that driver.

128 watts is bang on what it should be at. not the more efficient way but the savings in cost buying a new driver, outweighs a percent in system efficiency.
