I just got the strips and power supply in. I hooked them up for a test run and wow are these strips bright! They are blinding! Just a few questions - how do you use the quick connect adapters on the strips? I put 14 gauge solid wire in there but it doesn't stay in. I tried pushing on the top tab but...

Hey thanks, I definitely understand what you're saying about the drivers. So in summary, I can hook up the 2 strips to a 320w or 500w 48v constant voltage power supply, and just drop the voltage down 1-2 volts to prevent using the strips at full power or having thermal runaway. Then, in the future, ...

Thanks for the info! So is the idea that by lowering the voltage on the power supply, they will use less wattage at the same amperage that they were going to pull? so like use 100% amperage, but they'll be fed less voltage? Also, why is it required to use a meanwell power supply? They are super expe...

Hi everyone, I've been lurking here for the past few days trying to gather some information, and working towards a build. This is my first foray into hydroponics, and I'm looking for a good lighting solution for a small basement set up in which i'm going to start with simple greens like lettuce and ...
