I hope you understand now why i wanted a second opinion on your earlier recommendation. This place is all about helping each other and sharing knowledge and a i very much appreciate the followup post with different suggestions. I still havent ordered drivers for my samsung H strips and screwing up electrical wiring is something that i dont want to do obviously. Burning down my house or blowing up my lights would suck.Thinking about the Samsung H strips a bit more I realized that the better practice would be to wire them in parallel, since the strips themselves are wired in series. Basically, we're building a big COB, with each strip acting as one of the COB's diode strings. So that changes the driver options. (And makes my earlier post moot, please disregard as I can't seem to edit it.)
For the 2 ft/560mm strips (H562), driven at 480 mA at 24vdc, here's what I came up with from Mean Well:
16 strips:
HLG-185H-24
12-13 strips:
HLG-150H-24
10-11 strips:
HLG-120H-24
8 strips:
HLG-100H-24
CLG-100-24
PLN-100-24
7-8 strips:
HLG-80H-24
HLN-80H-24
5-6 strips:
HLG-60H-24
HLN-60H-24
CLG-60-24
PLN-60-24
3-4 strips:
HLG-40H-24
HLN-40H-24
3 strips:
PLN-30-24
As always welcome the group's feedback, always learning...
