Very clear i will not go over 225v.
I think ill get the 240h-24 so i have more options if i want to upgrade.
A question about series parallel wiring and thermal runaway you mentioned. From what ive read you cant get thermal runaway with constant current driver is this wrong?

okay thanks for the information, so 300v is dangerous? i should not get the c1050?
do I need to use a multi meter to check the voltage with the 240H-b setup?

okay i will only need 30-35w per sq ft? i read somewhere else that it should be closer to 50w so good to know. about the driver i can replace it no problem, it will be more expensive ordering F series from digikey here(not in US). what do you think about using the 320H-C1050 and wire them all in ser...

im ordering from alibaba manufacturer, they have led array modules based on samsung H series.
do you think its possible to use a 240W driver? i want to drive max 75% as suggested.

Hey thank you very much for helping me make sense of this. I read most of LEDG great articles before coming here to ask questions, but it was still too complex for me. the strips are LT-H562D, 48 lm561c each array 24v. so the second wiring diagram is okay if im using hlg-320h-c2100? Noted about the ...

think ur right i should be starting with something simple, i thought about boards but figured with strips I can mix spectrum and get a better light spread. I did mean the wall socket AC voltage but thanks to futuregrow I understand i was wrong now and the driver can generate more v than the wall out...

so im going to be wiring like this, is it okay to connect 2 wires to same wago hole?
or just wire all strips in series without wago using 1050mA driver instead.
please clear cut answer?

Will it be okay wiring 12 strips in series or cause voltage drop? so i was going to go with the 24v strips and use the c1050 (311v max) but then i checked and the sockets here are rated for max 240v? I've read all the fundamentals but still need some guidance please edit: okay so what do you think a...

The driver efficiency will be just about the same only 0.2% diff. I was talking about the led chips i figured there must be a reason samsung went with 24v and not 18v? Or it does not matter much for my application? Driver will be 1 meter away from the fixture.

ok new plan, use 12 strips all in series
HLG-320H-C1050A and go 8p6s (24v)
or HLG-320H-C1400A and 6p8s (18v)
what do you think is better?
