Hello there,
I have fixture that need driver upgrading.

It consists of 4x modules ( 23-25V 1-1.5A)
and I run then in two series with 2x LPV-60-24 (24V 2.5A).

I was thinking about running then parallel with one HLG-150H-24B which I know does the job as I use it in other light that I have.

4* (24*1.2) = 115W in total.

Is there some better driver that I should look at?

Thank you guys

Looks fairly solid choice. I'm a constant current nerd for whatever reason and you could go series on an HLG-120H-C1400B I suppose. Don't know which way you could squeeze the most out of them. Does maxing the modules to 1.575A on the CV driver push them up to the 25V number, so you can't max it out? Maybe CC is better in that case at probably above 1400mA at full tilt vs 1200mA?

I'd recommend checking out the uPowerTek driver range, they're nice quality and I've bought quite a few from them so far.

If you run the four modules in series, BLD-120-C140-ENS - 1400mA 51-114Vdc
If you run them in 2x2 parallel, BLD-120-C280-ENS - 2800mA 26-57Vdc

Or if you want to run them a bit harder, check out the BLD-150-C380-ENS (or whatever spec you want out of the BLD-150 range)
