Re: Confirmation of Build / layout
Starting to run wires - 3D printing is a great tool to have for printing clips as I go to run wires and hold Wagos. As I run more wires around the frame I continue to design and print clips on the go.

Re: HLG-480H-24B Dual Bus?
While I've got your attention about the LED driver... I intend to wire the 22 LED strips in parallel - would that be correct? I'm confused as the driver is stated to be CV/CC combined mode! I'm working on an extended version of a 4' x 4' build that had 16 strips in parallel (extended to 22 strips, u...

Re: HLG-480H-24B Dual Bus?
Many thanks for the info... That's going to be a bit of a pain, but glad to know I've got a definitive way to go. I did buy a 2 pin plug/socket to connect the two sides of the array - I'll have to up that to a 4 pin. Time to replan the wiring layout, and possibly buy a few more Wagos to do the wirin...

HLG-480H-24B Dual Bus?
A meanwell HLG-480H-24B driver has two output leads which I assume run on separate buses? The light I'm building will be split in two, with 11 Samsung LT-F562B strips on each side - needed to transport the light but also one side running only for the initial grow. If I only use one of the buses will...

Re: Samsung LED Connections (+/-)
Dug out my multimeter...
The + solder tab and both + tabs are all on the same circuit. That means I can connect a +/- wire to any of the 3 connection points.

Re: Confirmation of Build / layout
All tightened up now and thermal transfer tape stuck to the back of 22 LED strips (and lots to me too, including my beard!).
Will break the frame down into two parts tomorrow and start wiring.

Re: Samsung LED Connections (+/-)
I will be running the LEDs in parallel.
Can I use the "+" at one end and a "-" at the other? This will just mean tidied wiring on my frame.

Samsung LED Connections (+/-)
Hi I'm just about to start wiring some LT-F562B (2' Samsung SI-B8U261560WW) LEDs and notice they have a +/- connectors at both ends. Have a got to choose an end for both +/- or can a use alternate ends, so a + from one end and a - from the other? I can also see +/- solder tabs on one end - I assume ...
