One of the kits I got from him is a 6-strip/sunboard fixture with a 185H MeanWell driver, pushes a little over 200watts. It’s perfect for veg in a 2x4 in 6500k.

I’d like to build one with 6-8 strips/sunboards in 3500k with a 240H driver, it’d be awesome for flowering in a 2x4. I really like these more than the qb’s because the light is spread out more, the qb’s are great for sure, these are just a little better, IMO.

That’s on the lowest setting, it’ll blind you on full throttle.

Here’s a 14 strip with a 600 driver641FBB4B-8211-4075-B8DB-1BDBCD36C058.jpeg
 
Can U show ur wiring?
I have a site I can get 34" heatsunks and make the light 2 strips wide.
I'm sure I could figure out the wiring.
Hlg 600 driver?
Very nice!!
It’s easy positive to positive negative to negative. 2 strips in sequence ( had to call Peter he walked me thru it a 7 at night what a guy) I bought 5 spot wagos it came with a bunch of 3’s and had to double up so I purchased separate. There’s 7 strips per side of driver has 2 outputs. I used 18ga thermostat wire in stead of the single strand for cosmetic reasons. I used rubber utility cord because it’s being used with a light mover. Lots of flexing. Took me awhile to build first one ( I’m not real bright) but only a couple hours on the second one. 67C1C8FA-604F-4819-82ED-2D8D78C5F5C1.jpeg11A417B2-AA1D-4D3A-BB96-25E5624E3FFF.jpegE50F4389-E564-4D08-806C-23F16F52EDE9.jpeg800A39FE-DE9E-4766-904D-392D54BEE7F3.jpeg2E56E913-EA30-4226-837D-3A2844D7D166.jpeg

Those 5 spot wagos are the way to go! I need some zip ties too.
If U think thats crazy wiring. U shoukd see my solder job on the first driver I ever boufht haha.

I'm gonna make one for,him. 8 strips on a lrs350-24. He is trying to fill a 3 x 3.
I'm getting the 3500k spectrum so he can veg and flower no problem.
I'm thinking I may try this wiring method If its possible with a CV driver.
I think I could just put em all in parallel instead of running together like that.
How long does the LSR drivers usually last?

These qb132s are going on a year solid. No issues, thermal runaway either.
The lrs is truly a power supply.
Meant for computers and the like. But a solid investment @ 1\2 the price.
I keep mine outside the tent because they arent waterproof and have open screws on the side.
I usually electrical tape right over it , once I make connections. I cut a hole for adjusting the V screw0218211933d.jpg

I tried to run them all in parallel but the last couple was very dim. Then I spoke to Peter and he said no more than 3 in a set.
