Hi guys and girls! I've been researching awhile and pulled the trigger on a diy eb strip build that's still in progress. Constructive criticism welcome and I would really appreciate some input on how I should wire the light.
The setup: 39.5"x 22" wood armoire painted gloss white (it was free), 1 waterfarm, 203cfm inline fan. Now the goodies, (24) 1' strips, only have 11 so far, 2 runs of 12 driven by two 185h-24a. 6 strips mounted on 2.75 1/8 inch aluminum x 4. How can I optimize this space? Max wattage around 360 watts in roughly 6 square feet
Help with parallel wiring!

Sweeeeeeeeet.
I'd wire it like this and then repeat for the other half with the other driver:
That's a butt-kicking amount of light for 6 sq.ft. You'll probably only need 200-240W in there at most. I'd start by setting the drivers to run at 22V and then see how your plants respond. If they want more, you certainly have it on tap!

Thanks for the diagram, it's just what I needed. So just dim to about 75% which I think will give each strip 650ma? Also if I were to use wagon which part number and how would I connect them? Thanks again, you da man!

I'm sorry I see the wagos now. Do you know the part number?
