LEDgardener

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?

anyone please?

Still dumb on meanwells, but lets bump it up

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

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

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?

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.
