Need help choosing driver for Veg light build

Hey gang, I purchased a set of EB Gen 3 Thrive strips in 4k for a veg light build, and was wondering which driver would be best suitable for a 4x4 setup.

Strip specs: https://www.bridgelux.com/sites/default ... ev%20A.pdf

I was thinking 5 or 6 strips powered by an HLG 320H C1400B or perhaps C1050B?

Thanks

I would not run these at 1400ma, better to break out into series/parallel groups to reduce drive current

I was given this list of what would work for 5 strips from a Digikey employee, any thoughts?

I think I look for a similar build. Maybe you could benefit of any answers I get on my questions in my post also if you're not already done with yours :)

I’m going to run 6 3k thrives on an HLG320H-42b. Should run them at about 1200ma. I’ll mount them to small aluminum heatsinks. That should be plenty to keep them cool running them at 60% of max current.
