Righto, cheers ever so much for all your help.. Pulled the trigger and bought the HLG-185H-48A ... I'll be back if I get worried about any wiring, but think i have it figured out. Will prob see my delivery after the weekend :) Have a great end of week/weekend everyone :D

Lingo is not making sense here... :P what? is this my thread or are we going off tangent here? so what do i need?

It will be 8 x strips max per fixture, so I will be fine with the HLG-240 i think... I think i'll order the CV driver... But what happens if 1 strip stuffs out? will it blow the others? Also little bit confused about wiring all the strips in parallel then the 2 fixtures in series to double the...

what solution are you talking about?? bit confused about that site

Ok now i understand a bit better... Maybe i'll leave the sunrise/senset stuff until i learn a bit more.... So, I am still going ahead with the build... 12 strips are here, just tossing up about the driver... Im totally new to this CV driver and bit worried im gonna fuck something up...

soes that mean im getting it right? because Arduino is wayyyyy over my old head lol

Ah ok, think i got it.... HLG-240H-48A is 5000mA divide that by 6 is 833mA ..... 8 strips will drop it to 625mA and make it more efficient with more spread.... im fine with this I think... Am I getting this right? fuckin electrics! And can we make it more than 35w/sft? :lol:

And if I wanted to upgrade to 8 strips, would that mean I would have to get another driver if I go down this CV driver route?

I see what your getting at :) I know how to wire in series, but its the parallel that worries me... I can give it ago though, i like trying these things, might take me a few days of double and triple checking everything before switching it on lol whats the advantage to getting the CV driver...

ok, sound easy enough.. "thinking" i'll give it a crack.. Cheers so much for the info. To be exact, im actually going to be running 12 x 560mm Strips (already purchased), its a 4" x 1.8" wardrobe, but I want to make 2 seperate fixtures, for easy transportation purposes (dont like the 4" strips)...

Thanks @Randomblame, that pwm converter seems to be a nice and easy approach. Is the Dimming smooth? Im interested in the LDD setup, but am a bit intimidated with the wiring and all the components to get it all going. Cheers

Cheers Mark, im quite new at this, as you have probably seen on other threads... Can you suggest a driver that will do 6 - 8 x 560mm EB strips @700ma and is PWM based? Otherwise I was set on a HLG-120H-C700B to run the 6 - 8 strips... if that works aswell.?? I will be starting with 6 strips...

Hi everyone, I'd like to set up my EB strip build with sunrise and sunset timing/dimming. Will be running either the ELG or HLG drivers. What would be the easiest set up and cheapest option to get this function? Cheers

is there a big difference in heat between running these strips at 700ma and 1050ma? Would 8 strips at 700ma be as hot as 6 strips at 1050ma?

Righto, my new build is in progress, have purchased 8 x 3k 560mm strips and 8 x 4k strips for a 4ft x 1.5ft drobe... Would the ELG series drivers be a good fit? Now I know the price is lower on these compared to HLG series... but whats the catch? And can I just double triple check that its ok...

Hi everyone, Im running around i circles looking for a 120mm PC fan that is under 20dB pulls around 60 - 80cfm and has a high static pressure rating over at least 4mm-h2o... The clone tent is only 2ft x 1ft x 2ft. Any suggestions would help me along my journey and I appreciate the input in...

thanks for that, most helpfull

Another question crew, does FV change on these strips if run @ 1050mA? or am i confusing myself and the voltage wont change regardless of the amperage?

No they dont have dimming capabilities... Oh dont you worry mate, its lit up lol little bit too lit up almost... Im just thinking ahead for another build already :P was thinkning of utilising more of the mars drivers, but I think i'll put them aside for a few more veg lights ;) If I were to run...
