Just an FYI - the datasheets for the QBs and these strips have no common reference point. You cannot estimate the performance of strips based on the QB datasheet and you cannot infer the performance of QBs based on the strip's datasheets. Their individual diodes are subject to the wiring schemes us...

Just trying to gain maximum efficacy and run them without a heat sink and closer to the plants. I don't understand how you can get over 200 lm/w with the LM561C led diodes running them at 88ma but can't get the same when powering the F-Strip F562B with the same current per led diode. Why is this? T...

I don't understand how you can get over 200 lm/w with the LM561C led diodes running them at 88ma but can't get the same when powering the F-Strip F562B with the same current per led diode. Why is this?

I found this Samsung calculator https://www.samsung.com/led/support/tools/engine-calculator/ Screenshot-2018-3-2 Engine Calculator SAMSUNG LED Samsung LED Global Website(3).png Running 5 strips @ 792ma it looks like I will be getting less Lm/W than expected at only 179.9 lm/w 3212 x 5 = 16,060 lumen...

After doing some more research on constant current drivers I came up with 2 options for 5 X F62B in order to run at ~800ma per strip (~88ma per led diode) and option to increase the output for other applications if I choose to: Wired in parallel - up to ~175ma per led diode - up to ~1.5A per strip: ...

At ~800mA per strip, you will have a voltage of about 22.5. You can only set one of the two parameters: current or voltage, and if you make one constant, the other will fluctuate. I forgot to mention that the HLG-100H-24A is a CC and CV driver. You can adjust both Current and Voltage with 2 pontent...

i want to go the same route with some F562B strips and when i looked at the prices of HLG Constant voltage drivers i figured out i would take a more powerful of the bunch, because they cost just a few $ more than the less powerful. so with the HLG-185H-24A the output current can be adjusted to 3.9A...

I am planning on building an LED design for a 2’x1.5′ area. I was thinking to achieve maximum efficiency of lumens with the LM561C 3000K at 88ma I would run 5 x F562B strips in parallel with the HLG-100H-24A and then use the built in potentiometer to reduce the current to 3.96A and the voltage to 23...
