Can I wire 4 of these in series to a Meanwell 120h-c1400b? https://www.led-tech.de/en/50cm-Alustri ... LEDs-3500k
Also do I need a heatsink?

That particular LED strips needs a heatsink, you can also check the temps LED-TECH has provided : about 53°C with one of their 50cm Coverline aluminium profile. Since that strip doesn't seem to have hole to mount it on the profile you will need some thermal tape as well.
I guess the cheapest per-meter profile you can get from their website would be this : https://www.led-tech.de/en/Heat-Sink-fo ... -the-meter Pretty expensive though.
U-channel aluminium would be cheaper to get.
I don't know, that's more a question for led-tech or someone else with those same strips. However, given that they rate them at 2.8A max and you're planning to run them at 1.4, an educated guess would say no heat sink required.
Yeah in the end they suggest using one and I'd spend less for their 308 xt samsung boardCallMeWoody wrote: ↑Tue Nov 20, 2018 4:22 pmThat particular LED strips needs a heatsink, you can also check the temps LED-TECH has provided : about 53°C with one of their 50cm Coverline aluminium profile.
