Possibly screwed up my design planning for led strips voltage?

[kdt15]

Was just talking to someone from home depot and was told that in the United States, if I plug anything into the wall outlets, max I can get is 120v.

Originally I wanted to do 6 to 7 Samsung led strips rated at 46v each in series, so total of 300-340v

My driver could handle it, hlg 480h 1400a, which has a voltage rating of 343v max.

Now I'm worried that this plan is bunk because I'll never get more than 120v powering my circuit? Can someone clarify

Perfect example of the need for Quality Certified ready made LED Fixtures.
Make sure your Home Owners or Renters Insurance is up to date

agreed, DIY doesnt even save that much money in the end

getting an electrician to double check breakers and stuff next week.

do you have any ideas regarding the 120v wall thing? was hoping the drivers could magically pump out 480w with 343V

The 120v at your wall outlet is AC. The meanwell power supply converts this to DC which is your 343v. If your worried about wiring and things like this why not use growerslights and buy some QB kits, you can pay a bit extra and they will assemble it for you and do all the work. Just plug it in and reap the benefits.

U.S. residential receptacles are standard @ 120v.

great to hear!

the 120v vs 343v thing came up @ home depot when i didnt explain my project clearly enough to the person helping me find 600v wiring probably, didnt realize DC and AC was the key difference.

yeah originally was just going to go with hlg lights but team needed to save money, and wow quickly realized we were way in over our heads with DIY. lesson learned.

appreciate the help
