Wire HLG-240H-24B in series?

I’m going to rebuild one of my lights, the very first one I built actually, and have found it much easier to wire them in series. Unfortunately, the first few lights I’ve built were all done in parallel, resulting in more effort and expense. I would prefer to rebuild this light and wire it in series...

Re: Timer/Switch for 16/2 light cycle?

The simple Sonoff's should work, you can get 6 off Amazon for about $36. They work great for me, I run a regular schedule but they have a loop timer function, I think that could cycle them on 16 and then off 2

Converting 2 foot strips into four footers

I have some 2 foot strips that I am going to put into a fixture that is 4 feet long, I just want to make sure I’m correct in my assumption that I could wire them in series which would be a positive from one into negative of the other but would I also wire in the negative back to the positive? Essent...

Re: New build H influx - lux ???

1400 is what it puts out, 2800 is what it's taking in. Your driver delivers roughly 320 watts of power, power is voltage x amperage. Your voltage should be around 110 at the wall, multiply that times the 2.8 amps and you get about 320.

Re: Mean Well driver only putting out around 50% of power Please help!

Keep in mind the ELG series will only produce max output at 240 volts, at 120 it's production is reduced significantly, about half if I recall correctly. I got some because they're cheaper for the same production as the HLG and I was wiring the room for 240 anyways. If you're not wired for 240 that'...

Re: 8x40 build out Reefer Madness.

Man that’s awesome, if you need any help I’m in the Charlotte area, would love to help y’all out. Down south they’ve been a lot more restrictive than up here but they’re loosening things up a bit.

Re: 2*2in1 QB288 with LM301B and 8pcs Cree XPE660nm

Your CCT is over 4000, so it would seem you're not using 3500K diodes, which then creates doubts you're even using 301B's. The board has 4000K checked, so why would you mention 3500K?
