@TEKNIK Another question , power outages are rare but they do happen once in a while ... sometimes the electricity trips in the whole building for a few seconds and comes back so will my lights be safe ? Or do I need to do something so that they dont get damaged by outages and trips.

You will likely find that Arrow is cheaper for drivers than anyone local. If you use 2ft strips you will need to do a series/parallel connection. Not big deal to do this and it will be easy on a HLG320-42 Wanted to see if I can get it from local distributor so that I can avail the warranty if neede...

Its much better to ask questions than make a mistake. Your questions are fine, I just worry about people getting confused or over loaded with information. I saw you speaking with Cobshop, he is a good guy and not out to give you wrong info. There are multiple ways of achieving the same outcome and ...

Your questions aren't stupid buddy, They are helping me and others out a lot with these builds as I can see what you're looking into and why then can make more informed decision on what I myself should put together. Getting better each build and could not do that without people like yourself listin...

If you want efficiency then 15W per 2ft strip is what to aim for. HLG-150-20B is the right choice for 10 strips. No heatsinks will be required just a frame. I have seen you on RIU also asking about all of this, dont get yourself overloaded with information. Keep it simple as possible especially if ...

You will need a dimmer pot and some wires to connect it all as well as a frame, I dont have a list of components for you and dont have time to search digikey to find it all at the moment, sorry about that No worries thx a lot already :) Some bad news , just got a mail from the seller saying theres ...

@TEKNIK Thanks a ton brother ! Can you please suggest me what else I need to order from Arrow or Digikey along with the driver ? Would be nice to get as many things together as possible since finding them locally is going to be a problem. Also will I be needing heatsink in this build ? (the tempera...

Also would it more sense to make 2 fixtures with 2 drivers so that if one fixture stops working for whatever reason , I have the other one to rely on ? Since replacing/buying new driver would take a long time with overseas shipping ? If the 2 fixture setup sounds good and more reliable so that my g...
