Hi, could anyone tell me how many 560mm Bridgelux Gen 2 strips I can run with this driver to get close to the driver max output

Thomas Research Driver 200watt
Trick question, Zero (0)... 
200 Watts / 14 Watts each strip = 14.28 strips
285 Vdc / 20 Vdc each strip = 14.25 strips
In theory its 14 strips max. at 196 Watts & 280 Vdc, But
Bridgelux Gen2 Series LED Strips have rated insulation of only 60 Vdc max. (page 4)

Standard Selection (-B, Dimmable) or ( -AB, Dimmable & separate Current Adj. down to ~ 50% - 120 Watts)
HLG-240H-20B or -AB are good for 17 in Parallel @ nominal / typical current 700 mA & 20 Vdc.

Inexpensive Selection (-AB, Dimmable & separate Current Adj. down to ~ 50% - 120 Watts)...
XLG-240-H-AB are good for 16 in Series/Parallel @ nominal / typical current 700 mA & 40 Vdc (8 parallel circuits of 2 in series)

BTW, could put 4 - 5 (or more) Gen 2 strips on the 75 Watt TRP drivers (by Hubbell);

Man i really thought I could build my light with those drivers. I will have a look at the xlg range. I’ve already built a light using 12 X Gen 2 560mm strips and a meanwell HLG-240-20A driver and it runs super cool. But it’s roughly the same price as the kingbrite 240watt Quantum Boards
