From my perspective, hlg could be a lot more than it is, if they could get their executive shit together...this stuff is common sense, some hungrier company will do it, if they don’t...Lol! Yeah!
Many tests and simulations have already shown here that LED strips allow to drasticly reduce the distance. Much less light gets lost on the walls with reduced distance and you need less watt to get your desired intensity.
Last year I've used about 400w COB, 8 á 38w + 12w deepred and switched to 400w strips mixed with a few smaller CRI90 COBs. Now I've reduced to 300w because I need a lot less power when working at 12" instead of 18".
Still waiting for some connectors to finish it and put it back in the cab.
I could bet HLG already have other products with these diode combo in the pipeline. A stripe design has some key advantages from better distribution to vertical alignment and sun cloak like layouts and the thermal management is much less demanding and could easily be done via c-channels. Double row F-strips in 2ft. length run with 50w and stay cool to the touch with a 40x 40mm c-channel. That would also help to lower the costs even more. Cutters Solstrips are perfect examples for such a strip design.
