uhhh For the 562b the voltage & current numbers are

Operating Current (If) - 1120 - mA (typ)
Operating Voltage (Vf) 21.9(min) 23.0(typ) 24.2(max) Vdc

HLG-320H-24B constant current region is 12-24V with a max of ~24V at 13.34A
clearly capable of driving 10 of the samsung strips in parallel is it not?

something else is going on the driver should work. Does it look like 86 watts ? From the pic it looks much brighter, but photos can be deceiving.

Suggest putting a multimeter on the circuit and measure voltage and current, also check your watts at the wall.

It' def not bright at all. Its' the pic. And I double checked the wiring this morning before work. It' def 100% parallel. I double checked the baylight display everything is wired 100% correct. And I hadn't smoked yet. When I looked. So I know I'm good. Just apparently a 24b driver will not run 10 strips. I know I have a a series 185 24v driver for another light I built. And it would adjust up to almost 26.7vdc with the built in pots. For voltage. And apparently the 24b series only puts out 23.xxvdc

I went with the hlg-320-24a to run @24v. I wanna stay at 24v bc my reds are also 24v. Run on a different driver. By meanwell. I think 300 watts would do great. To hit 30 watts per square foot it' 270 watts. Jus give it 30 more watts roughly won' hurt. I run a tight tent. I need all the extra light I can get. I appreciate everyones help. Arrow finally emailed me back. And refunded my money. So atleast I didn' have to eat it. And be stuck with a driver I can' use.

The b version of the driver can deliver up to 24V at 13.34
23.86 V is well within the current range for the 10 strips to operate over 1120 ma.

If I had to guess the baylight voltage, wattage, and amperage display you used is only measuring current for 3 strips. Exactly where did you wire in the baylight display ?

How is it doing that when it's wired directly to the secondary side of the driver? It has to be what the driver is pulling correct?

sorry i meant a photo of your wiring specifically where the meter is connected relative to the parallel legs and the connections to the driver.

Got it. The 24b power supply does work. The digital display sticker is wrong. I hooked it up the way another one was hooked up I seen another one on Amazon and it's schematic is ass backwards to the sticker I have. Swapped it real quick And boom.... I appreciate everyone' help and input.... you guys rock....

Makes me feel better too. Glad it worked out for you as originally planned.

The light is really fukn bright now. Idk how it didn' burn anything up the way it was hooked up. But if anyone orders one. Use the picture I posted on here. Bc the sticker they put on back of it is ass backwards...

Guess we will see how this thing flowers. I'm having my buddy make me up 4 more red strips. The samsungs are so bright you can't even tell the reds are on lol...

So, far I have only vegged with mine (day 2 of flower now), but I already feel I got value for money.

You'e running the f24bs though aren't You? I wanted to go with those. But you telln me if you had it do over you would go with singles. I think using more strips of singles I get better coverage than using 3 1120mm strips. Using 10 560mm gives me a better wall of light.

Yes, you will get better coverage. which will be optimal for sea of green or scrog.

I like the penetration I am getting with the 100W strips though. It helps with the two girls I am flowering at the moment.

I think you had a bad driver bud. I am running the EXACT same build from ledgardener's site, using the hlg-320h-24B driver. Check it.

331w from the wall including driver




So yeah, the B version will easily run all 10 strips.

No I'm using the B driver. It was my baylight digital display. It had the sticker on it to wire it up. And it was wrong. So I looked up the part with a different sticker. Hooked it up that way. And everything is working. mir_20180316_161148.jpg
