10* LT-F564B

[garnier]

Hello,

I'm planning to build another light that will consists from 10 * LT-F564B strips @3000k.

Looking at the datasheet it seems like:

fV = 46V
Imax = 1.800mA

Don't want to run them harder then 75% which means: 1.400mA ish max.

1.4*46=64.4W per strip.

that mean 644W in total when running them with potentiometer @ max.


Obviously I know there is no option to do it with one driver as meanwell does not produce HLG-640H-C1400B.
Perhaps the only the solution for me is to run this setup with pair of HLG-320H-C1400B and use stereo potentiometer.

Does anyone advice me for some other/better solution that I've forgot ?

Ideally I would prefer one driver but that's impossible i guess.
I know that meanwell does produce some 600W drivers but I think that these are CV...

Any help would be highly appreciated

I thought some meanwell models run about 10% over the claimed wattage... never used one, so the details have evaded me. Pretty sure someone will chime in on the matter shortly

Correct. The Meanwell A versions have that ability, give or take a few %. He is looking at the dimmable B versions from what I gather from his post (last letter in the product sku: Meanwell HLG-240h-36B).

Yes that's correct.

I prefer B Version just due to design to be honest. I love when I can put all the wagos, switches, cables, connector and potentiometer into box. It just looks better.

I have another question it's about another light I'm just upgrading.

It consists of 4 custom "COBs" that are 23-24V @1-1.5A

I used to run them with 2 drivers 24V 2.4A in parallel.


I'm now going to use HLG-150H-24B - parallel.

That will give me 6.25A I guess.

I don't want to run these LEDs on the max so I was thinking about adding some strips into it.

I was thinking about two H-Influx strips, but their Vf= 22.3V

Is that a big problem?

[garnier]

anyone please?

[unkle_psycho]

Still dumb on meanwells, but lets bump it up

[Hydrofood]

Running different strips/cobs with even slightly different Vf is not the best idea when using a CV driver.

[garnier]

I will use these, they are not as good as in fluxes but probably can't find anything better that will fit in smoothly.

[unkle_psycho]

What model are these? hope they are cheap since they only give 140lm/w... cant you get any bridgeluxes where you are? or samsung F or Q series?

[garnier]

I can get nearly anything from digikey, but as main light source are four ''cobs'' that run 24V @1.2A I should get some strips that runs 24V too.

Only 24V strips I can find are these M series, if You know about any better solution I'll be very happy.
