There are two drivers per board with 32 1 inch strips so at 160 Watts I'll be getting 320 Watts which should be perfect considering the 11 other lights running 400 Watts each with the same two drivers per board. As you can imagine it's way to much power and so they have all been lowered to 80%. So y...

So yeah like I said, I can run it at 100% and would achieve the same thing as wiring it 3 in parallel as it will be turned down 80% anyway. Put simply.

I wired them up as 8S4P before I saw these last replies and everything has worked great. As for loosing 20Watts, as I will turn the light down to match the rest of the lights will it make any differnce. The rest are now turned down about 20%. So if this is running at 100% they should all be at the s...

Thanks for explaining it to me, I've looked it all up and by splitting four chains of 8 in series I should be able to end up dividing the power exactly as it would of been when I was using the 2 drivers and the 2 foot strips. In theory it should be the same amount of Watts used with the same amount ...

Sorry I don't understand the abbreviation. I have 32 1 foot strips wired in series

Thanks for the advice, you are correct. I connected the driver to only 8 of the strips and they powered up. I actually have 32 strips on my fixture and now don't really know what the best option would be as I'll only be able to power half of them using the drivers I have. Any advice on a driver to p...

I have already put together a few EB series Gen 2 builds. I used a meanwell HLG 185H- C1050A with 8 1 foot strips. After realising that Digikey was sold out I bought 16 1 foot strips and tried to put together the same set up with HLG 185H-C1050A driver. I'm not really sure why when I've tried switch...
