Re: parallel strip wiring methods
Basically I have a 3 tier shelf that is 6ft long. (My other fixtures were for cannabis, this one for tropical house plants, so much less light) I want to run a single 6ft strip (made up of 3 560mm eb strips) down each of the 3 levels Would the internal circuitry and connectors hold up if I had 3 560...

parallel strip wiring methods
Hey guys, ive built a few strip lights always wiring in parallel to keep voltage down. i always wire from the driver +/- to a terminal block and a seperate pair of wires to each strip. this next fixture i'm building is real long and i don't want to run 20 miles of wire lol. i know if i connect posit...

Re: 2.5 x 4 led build (1120mm eb gen 2)
Also, the V/I display runs on 5-30vdc and my driver was going to be outputting about 39v so I used a lm317 buck style voltage regulator for the lcd display to get down to 29.5v (it’s also showing 0.000a). Shes messed so I have a replacement on route. I 3d printed a little base for it so the solder p...

2.5 x 4 led build (1120mm eb gen 2)
Hey guys I want to share my first build! I roughed out some calculations... my area is 2.5x4 so that’s 10 sq ft... I’ve read that 30-40w/sq ft is a target range for strip builds. I think I should have went way more looking back. Parts: HLG 320H 42b driver 1120mm eb gen2 strips x 11 (3500k) Fv: 39v n...

Re: Series / Parallel Risk / Reward EB strips
which would you do? if any? lol i would love your opinions and advice on both the wiring and hazards. Cheers! High Voltages increase the risks of Electrical Arcing, especially in a humid environment... The Bridgelux and Samsung LED strips have PCB ratings of 60 Vdc or less (Working Voltage) which a...

Re: Series / Parallel Risk / Reward EB strips
Thanks a lot. I am going to build it with the 42 but I’m more curious and trying to really understand for future builds.. Could I pick your brain on that? Why will a constant voltage driver adjust its voltage down to 39? Is it only because there’s 10 strips and that will max out the current output a...

Series / Parallel Risk / Reward EB strips
hey guys, So i've learnt a ton here obviously, but I still have some confusion regarding the best setup although i don't think its going to really affect the grow one way or another regardless of which way i wire this thing. in summary, im building a fixture using 10 pcs - bridgelux eb gen2 1120mm 3...
