Will high input voltage kill my drivers? (247-250V)

Just been testing my DIY build to make sure it works.........and thought I'd see what wattage it was drawing on max. Anyway, the HLG-320H-C1050 is running at 310W max, with 8 x CXB3070's on it. When I flicked through modes on the killawatt meter, it showed my mains voltage averaging around 246-7V and it peaks at 250V occasionally.

The Max input on the HLG is 240v............is this extra voltage gonna kill my drivers in the long run?

I've already had 3 x HLG-185H-C1050's running at this voltage for around 10 months now, they still seem to be working fine, but are they gonna last?

I have just looked at the data sheet and it lists input voltage as 90 - 305VAC. I am in the U.K. as well and I do see the voltage spike every now and then but no where near 305VAC. Nice build by the way.

Thanks...............note to self.......read the spec sheet properly....DOH, just looked at what it said on the driver(100-240VAC) and panicked.............don't ya love wake and bake on a Sunday

now go get caught up on that laundry lol!
