What driver for 3 V2 288 boards ?

I’d rather drive boards in a series but the driver recommended with it is a 320H-48B so it’ll be wired in parallel.
Are these drivers adjustable current and voltage?
I understand current output gets equally divided by the three boards but what current are they getting from the 320H-48B when it puts out 6.7amps?Is current or voltage adjustable on these types of drivers?

I’d like to use 1400ma to power them and it looks like both they both the
240H-C1400B or 320H-C1400B will work because the output voltage interval of both contain the sum of the boards voltages,but would there be any difference of performance of the 240 versus 320?
Another option is a 320H-C1750.

Open the data sheets!
You’ve gotta start trying to find some of these answers yourself man. This is basic 101 knowledge to be able to keep yourself and your home safe.
It doesn’t take much, just an hour of watching videos and you’ll be blown away with how much you just learned.
I’m only saying this because Iv seen quite a few of your posts lately and it seems like you just want to be spoon fed and don’t wanna learn.
This is a great community and we are all very willing to help beginners because it’s exciting. But you have to meet us halfway!

Watch these videos below, actually watch all of his videos! (Iv been sucked into the rabbit hole a time or two) He really spells it out clear as day he’s a really great teacher.

QB wiring and operation

That driver will supply 48v to the board. The board will then only pull the amperage it wants at that voltage. I don’t know off the top but the answer will be in the data sheet found on the QB288 product page.
Here it is!

As stated above you have to look at the data sheets for said drivers,all the info you are looking for is there.

3 on a 320h-48 ( 6.7a) is roughly equivalent to the 320h-c2100.. since splitting 6.7/3 = 2233ma each..

the 240h-c1400 or 320h-c1750 will also work well for running them softer.. basically running QB's at 1400 = 65 ish watts each and 2100 is roughly 105 watts each... 1750 is right in between...

Thanks Jolly Green.

I didn’t think of the 320H-2100B and I can run many other things besides boards with that driver versus the 320H-48B.



Basically they all will work but I need to decide at what current I want to run them at.
I need to take into account also that by using the dimmer some of these drivers end up powering the boards up at the same current and voltage.
I can see where there’s an advantage using the 320-48B then I can dial to any current I want.
There’s probably 20 hlg drivers that will work but I won’t list them all.
