That's correct. There's no need to put 10 of them in series anyway. You can use smaller drivers with more circuits or you can wire in parallel with low voltage drivers.

That vid is a couple years old. There are better chips available now anyway. Vero 29 and Citi 1825s are both better values.

Dude what? I hope you're not building fixtures...

Those holders are probably good much higher than 250v, but they have a rated max for a reason. I wouldn't worry too much about running them a little above, but I skipped the holders on my build. Not a big deal unless you plan on running reflectors.
