Thanks for explaining this important step that I didn't understand. So, if i use less strips: 60w / 8 strips = 7.5w per strip 7.5 / 19.5 V = 384 mA In this case the constant is always 19.5 V, right? What about the wattage? The typical power W is 6.8 , can i go beyond this value as in this case 7.5w...

I always get confused with wire in parallel with this driver This driver is 2.5 A , so with 10 strips, each strip run at 250 mA? Checking the grow space now, i saw that actually the space to be illuminated is 40 x 45 cm , maybe I could use less strips. IMO it’s easier to think in Watts per strip, b...

Thanks again for the suggestions PeteR!

Thank you very much PeteR!

Yes, I had thought of the eb gen2 or eb gen3 too...wired in parallel in this case, right?

Something simpler and less expensive with cobs? Like 1 or 2 cobs.

Hi everyone! I'm starting a new microgrow project in a space : 50 x 45 x 60H cm Lately I have always used 60w quantum boards, but some chips have burned out and I have neither the knowledge nor the time to repair them, so I would like to replace them with cobs or strips using the driver I have The M...

Ah ok i did not understand it was a cc+cv driver because i've read cc driver on mouser... and of course my lack of knowledge on this subject
Many thanks again!

Ok Jolly Green thanks, the 3 strips setup was what i had in mind, but i'm a bit confused. Correct me if i'm wrong HLG-40h-20 is a constant current driver 20v 40w 2000ma, so you meant a series wiring, right? The eb 1 foot strip has max drive current 700ma with a voltage of about 20v and about 14w. So...

Hi guys In the end i decided to buy the bridgelux eb 1 foot strips because digikey does not sell the samsung f series in single pieces. Jolly green the eb bridgelux you saggested are the 2 feet 560 mm but the pc case is only 445 mmm. So how many eb 1 foot strips in that space? I was thinking to run ...

Ok Jolly Green, yes the top is alluminium, but i think i'll use an heatsink.
I hope to start as soon as possible!
Thanks again!
