Is this strip wiring correct?

About to wire my LED Strips and want to make sure I get it right.

I am wiring 15 2 foot strips per driver in a series of 3 set of 5, and then those 3 sets paralleled together. In other words 5 strips series together 3 times, and then those 3 sets of 5 in parallel.

My diagram is not the best, I needed to get this out there asap so through it together with Sketchup. Hope it is clear.

But do NOT use a fuckin wire nut. Please use a 5lever wago.

That configuration can function, but we can't say how well without knowing the driver and strips used. And there's nothing wrong with wire nuts, millions are used in commercial and residential wiring.

I am using wagos, It was just easier to communicate "wire nut" in the diagram, for some reason. I bought a bunch of 5 lever because I originally had a different wiring config, but I only need 4 level. But I am used to wire nuts and they work just fine.

Driver is HLG-320H-C2800A. Strips are EB Gen 3 2 foot - 19.1v average and 700mA nominal.

WAGO® brand lever nuts come in 2,3, & 5. Anything else you see is a counterfeit.
