So I've been looking at doing a strip build. But due to my time constraints and my desired strips EB Gen 3 4ft not being available I am looking at different options. One is the Samsung Influx Linear strips. From my research they use the LM561c diodes which is pretty efficient when ran soft (200lm/w range).
This is the strip I am using for my example calculations SL-B8U7N90L1WW it's a double row 2 ft strips they have 108 diodes 18S x 6P
The TRP drivers I got are 0.7a 285v CC 92% efficient.
So using the Samsung calculator I am working the following:
at 0.7a these strips use 36.5W they have a max current of 1.4a for the strip so if I understand the calculator correctly even with the driver loss I should be getting 178LM/W over the system?
and if I put 2 strips in parallel and then I should have 216 diodes with 194LM/W efficiciency?? Is that correct? Also is there anything to worry about wiring two strips in parallel and then putting two parallel strips into series with the rest?
