if using a 1400H meanwell driver, does that mean ill drive 1.4A?

using this LED
https://www.digikey.com/products/en?key ... 10-2221-nd
specs indicate it tested using 1.12A
forward voltage 46V
no spec for max current
using this driver that is 1400H, that would mean im actually using 1.4A not 1.12A right?
so power = 46V * 1.4A = 64.4W
is that correct

Yes, if you use any HLG-XXXC-1400 model and connect strips in series they will see 1.4A each. Be mindful to stay under the maximum voltage the driver can provide

However, if dimming a 1400 driver, the output current is adjusted.
On my 6s0p Samsung F Series Gen 3 build using an HLG 185 1400B. I think the voltage of the series is 133v and when adjusting the potentiometer, the output current ranges from 140ma to 1400ma.
Or with my Far red build, I run 2s2p on another HLG 185 1400B. Splitting the current in half by wiring two parallel series leaves me with a current adjustment range of 70ma to 700ma.
Hope this helps.
