It's the exact same driver as the 24b the pot doesnt change the driver other than how it dims. Correct?
Should I change to series?
Yup and I tried unhooking it up. Which should be max power. And it' not 300+ watts. I'm completely stumped.
The A series uses two internal adjustments, one for VOLTAGE and one for the current. The B series has no way to adjust voltage. Your strips need more voltage to get the current up. Disconnecting the pot wont do it. You need an A series driver. No other way around it.
Well that sucks now.im stuck with this driver. Bc arrow doesn't allow any returns. They are fukn joke.
Debating on going with the hlg480h-24a And just turn it down some.
Leave it disconnected - Another question - what size wires are you using? and how long are they?
No you do not need to go bigger - you just need the voltage adjustment the A series provides.
16awg solid core. The longest one is 2 foot.
I can go to 14awg stranded. But I didn't want to use stranded
Maybe bad driver? Is it making a clicking sound when plugged in?
What does everyone have against stranded wire? Stuff works great and is actually flexible to boot. I fail to see the negatives. Go 14g from the driver to the blocks and from block to block. Go 16g or 18g from the blocks to the strips. That will minimize any voltage loss on your wires and increase current, but I don't think it will be enough. You need a voltage adjustment that the A series drivers provides.
