Once you get to 200+ volts with series wiring of is pretty dangerous. Wiring those strips in parallel will be pushing only 48-50v. That isn't saying that high amperage isn't dangerous as well though, but each strip will be lower in amps. Hlg, and elg drivers will work well if your electricity costs...

awesome, thank you!! sorry for coming off as noobish now, but at how many mA would I run the 20 strips with a 320W driver? my calculations gave me 667 mA which would be perfect from what I have understood!! lastly is there a specific driver you would recommend? for simplicity I so far looked into th...

I would wire parallel then. How about 20 strips driven by a MW HLG 320h 24a...would I need a proper heatsink..?

Also about the aluminium frame: should I use a plate or angled like in the guides on here?

Do you have any idea of the breaking point, meaning the point from which on I'll need a heatsink??

Also its more like 5x2.5ft than 4x2.

Lastly, if its safer I'll wire parallel then. I like to avoid anything risky...

thanks!!

Hi So I am growing some marijuanas and I want to add a led strip build. I've read some of the guides but am still confused about some stuff I need some help with. MY Growspace is 150x75 CM ( roughly 4x2 foot that is, I believe, so I want around 450W)) First off I ordered 20x Bridgelux EB gen 2 (3500...
