Each fixture will have 2 660s and 2 uva/730..each strip is 58v. Anything past 2 in series would be high voltage. I’ll look those drivers up but I would have to wire them in parallel if I used one driver for 4-12 strips
Then go for the xlg 240-m, it matches up nicely with 116V. Check out the DS, hit me up on pm if you need, the xlg-m and l series is a bit hard to wrap your head around but very versatile.

XLG, HLG both will do their job fine.
the xlg.-240-m just have one amperage adjustment screw you should be quite save by simply turning it to the left (min.) first and go from there.
as long your XLG isnt overpowered for your led setup you shoudnt have much hassle.

as long youre not taking a CFL driver for your leds :D.

real high voltage starts at about 600v depeding on the definition.

but better safe then sorry for sure.

I was going to actually look it up until I seen the wires I use are rated for 300v. Being 60v away from max is a little to close for comfort but I also wanted to be able to run my 730/uva strips softer. I’ve already brought one 120 driver so I’m going to compare the 730/uva strips getting 25watts and the others getting 15. I’m getting more xlg thanks to rocket advice more versatile driver. When I get a couple of the same strains on different tables I’ll post any differences from the different powered strips

sounded like you prefer 2 in series, the by rocket sugested xlg m should do well for this, wasnt saying you should take the l version.

I wasn’t trying to imply you had any suggestions either way. But you have laid out evidence that both will work. I’m still going to use the one hlg driver I already brought and compare to my other fixtures. Given how my tables are setup I will need to use different drivers. I’ll post how I ended up configuring everything and what’s the par that’s given out from the strips a foot or so away.

I have a large 4x4 hlg 132v1 fixture that has 2 4ft alum strips where I used to have strips. Went ahead and ordered these for it. It’s 32 of them. I’m thinking of using 16 for the fixture and maybe the other 16 for a qb fixture I plan on making with my leftover boards not sure yet
