Hi I'm looking at doing a build for a 4x4 using these opulent americas strips: https://www.digikey.fi/product-detail/e ... ND/8566912

The datasheet is a little limited, it does not show how voltage increases with current, how should I estimate the voltage these will want when driven at 600mA?: http://opulent-americas.com/wp-content/ ... aSheet.pdf

Want to use about 480w for the space, still wondering about the driver. Perhaps two of these would better then a hlg480, although I would loose a little efficiency compared to a single driver... : https://www.digikey.fi/product-detail/e ... ND/7703022

Finally I was wondering about adding red, far red and UV diodes... any ideas on discreet diodes, special strips or something? What alternatives do I have?

Basically you plot every point you can find information on. Extrapolate the % increase per 100mA (less is better) . Then factor in the compounding rate in which it increases. Example - .3v then .33v then it an be assumed .36(actual .35999997) is logical and therefore real. Obviously this isn't the case with losses but it is generally true at the source.
