That would make sense if I had constant current drivers, but I only have constant voltage supplies.
All panels I build are wired in parallel to a constant voltage power supply.
My strips are 160 led (16S10P) driven at .1 amps (48 watts), which gives me roughly 8500lm per strip.
The panel I have posted in another thread had 10 strips, 85000lm (ran at 182lm/W)
Next fixture will be 20 strips, 10 @ 3,000k, 3@4000, 3@5000, 4@6500. This will be powered by two cheap chinese constant voltage power supplies. This will pull a little over 1,000 watts at the wall ran at .1 amps, or I wire up 4 power supplies and run them at .2 amps per strip (almost 2000 watts
) out of a 3x3 light fixture (320,000 lumens)
