[*]Hello , i am new here but follow ledgardener his youtube channel all ready a while . I bought 2 led bars of chill led the 40 inch , now they tell me that the max is 3500mA by 46v . When i ask for the best mean well driver for the bars in series they tell me 1750mA because in series you have to d...

So can I just hook up the 320w driver to the 4 strips in parallel? I just wouldn't have the 660nm?
There are only a few 660nm diodes in those strips? Would i still be able to flower or just use them for veg?

Thanks

Yes appears that way. You don't "need" the 660 to flower/.

A strip with the Vf of 36-42v and can run at 1200ma.

Those strips are Samsung "H inFlux" strips. They have been being made by samsung for years now. Thy are not old...they are continually produced to this day. The Hinflux are the only ones with conformal coating and 301's so will be the most resilient/robust strips on the market. They use 301B diodes....

I took apart the output current control box. It has 3 potentiometers. 3000k. 660nm. 6500k. Is the 3000k and 6500k, the 320w drivers? The 120w to the 660nm? Can I just put a 3prong plug to one 320w driver w/pot. And wire that to 4 strips. Then test that? Not trying to burn the place down. Thanks Yep...

320=cool white and has 2 wires 320=warm white and has 2 wires 150w = reds and has 2 wires. Not quite sure why they are going into a box and what "microcode" is. Shouldn't need any distribution boards, but maybe if they are parallel they took the extra step. The boards are 3 channels....hence the 6 o...

Ground wire is the green...goes to round prong in center of the plug
Other two wires are both hot/live wires if wiring to 240Vac. ...go to the flat prongs on each side of the ground prong.

look at Agnetix for a commercial example.

Used to be a dude who cooled COBs on aluminum square tubing with custom end caps but never followed up.
