Hi everyone I have a question which LED driver should I use

on 12 strips
BXEB-L1190U-35E3000-C-C3
Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Typ) 38.2V
Lumen/Watt @ Current - Test 186 lm/W
Current - Max 1.7A

And how can I best connect.

thanks in advance

Depends on your goals. What surface area do you want to illuminate, how many watts do you want?

[jan klaas]

the area I want to expose is 85 x 65 Inch.

[jan klaas]

I read somewhere that 12 strips is enough.

or is that too little

[jan klaas]

going to use heat sinks

[jan klaas]

my apologies for my english
think that the spelling/translation from dutch to english is not very clear

try to explain it again


the surface that I want to illuminate is 120cm x 150 cm for this I want to use 12 strips the voltage per strip is 38.2V
for me led is still completely new would like to hear your opinion whether 12 strips is enough or too much

I hope you can give me advice

or I make 1 frame of 12 led strips with large driver.

or 2 frames of 6 LED strips with 2 small/light drivers

[Shimbob]

For a 120x150 area you'll need at least a 600W driver to get in the 30W/sf (320W/m^2) ballpark, which should get you started but won't be too bright. Or two 320s for a little bit more.

HLG-600h-42 or (2) hlg-320h-42, wired in parallel.

(2) hlg-320h-c1050 and series wiring should work too

thank you Shimbob for your answer

how many strips can be connected to 1 pcs hlg-320h-42?

is my calculation correct
320h divided by 38.2V is 8 pieces.

[jan klaas]

and how many strips do you recommend to use
