There are 3 different models for the Samsung LED strips, A, B and C. The A has the least LEDs and the C has the most. I will be looking at the C. I also didn't consider the fact that the voltage is lower on the Samsungs, so you could get more leds per Driver.
@ 1400 ma / 3500k the Samsung C (SI-B8U341B20WW) strip runs at 24 volts and gives off 5150 lx at 33.6 watts. its lm/w is 153
@ 1400 ma / 3500k the Bridgelux (BXEB-L1120Z-35E4000-C-A3) strip run at 46.5 volts and gives off 8724 lx @ 65.2 watts.its lm/w is 134
so on a hlg-240h-c1400 you could run 7 samsung @ 36050 lux C's @ $162 or 3 Bridgelux @ 26172 lux @ $106 ($14 per strip and $64 per driver)
With the samsung a dollar gets you 222.5 lm
Bridgelux a dollar gets you 246.9 lm
to get to 100k lm:
20 samsung (672 watts)
20 x $14 = $280
3 x $64 = $192
= $472
12 bridgelux (782 watts)
12 x $14 = $168
4 x $64 = $ 256
= $ 424
The cost is pretty close, there would need to be more infrastructure with the samsungs, so that cost would go up. but the cost of operation would be less after the initial capital cost.
assuming you are running your lights 12 hours a day, you would chew up and additional 481 kwh with the bridelux costing around $48 per year (@ 10 cents a kwh). so basically the driver/led initial cost amortized over the year, throw in the extra cost to mount 8 more strips, it pushes you to about 2 years to break even.
But the light coverage would be much better with the samsungs.
