Hello, i just bought 8 strips (Sun Board Grow Strip with 96 Samsung LM561C LEDs: https://growdaddyleds.com/collections/f ... m561c-leds) for a new build with a Meanwell HLG-320H-C1400B.

Im wondering wich is the beast way to wire the strips and how: series or parallel? im a bit confused.

Thank you very much! :D

I'm new but this video may help.

Those strips are rated at 1800ma but that driver only delivers 1400ma so....

1.4 x 24 x 8 = 268 watts if wired in series as shown in the video.
Be aware that wiring those in series creates a 192 volt DC circuit.

I'm using the same driver and number of strips but with slightly different strips.
Hopefully others will chime in.

Good luck with your build!

That combination of eight (8) LED strips @ 24 Vf (Vdc) each and Meanwell HLG-320H-C1400B LED "Series" Driver can only be wired in Series at 192 Vdc (8 * 24 Vf = 192 Vf). Good Luck.
