ok and how many strips you think with the hlg 320?I'd run atleast 45w per sqft. You have 7.1 sqft. Atleast an hlg320 full. Just my opinion.
You can run 10 strips HLG-320H-c1400A. Plus that give you just a little bit of head room. For some small reds if you wanna do a red initiators. Leaves 16vdc. 10 strips will pull 216vdc of the 229vdc the driver puts out.ok and how many strips you think with the hlg 320?

Diyled uk is on the forum. Or digikey or Arrow electronics.oh and is there anywhere you would recommend buying from ? im in Ireland/UK
Diyled seem very expensive per strip. i was considering digikey but they have loads of negative reviews on googleDiyled uk is on the forum. Or digikey or Arrow electronics.
diyled sells the strips mounted to heatsinks and ready to go. Digikey worked fine for me everytime i ordered.Diyled seem very expensive per strip. i was considering digikey but they have loads of negative reviews on google

All three places arrow, digikey. and diyled are legit places. Arrow doesnt have a eu warehouse I dont believe. Maybe but I dont think so. Digikey does. And diyled is UK based I believe.Great thanks for the help buddy. much appreciated

Got all the thermal tape mounted to the Eb Strips. The worse and most time consuming part of the build. Once you put thermal tape down. It means business. It doesn't come off very easy.
I'll get all my aluminum cut today. And start mounting everything together. Waiting on my tnutz order to show up today.

Tape is alot better. No mess. And you get 30 meters for like 15 bucks US. In my opinion. And that's a pretty good deal. Under 150/us for strips and a driver. What strips n driver did you go with?cheers buddy think ill settle with digikey. 10 strips and driver is coming in around 130 euro and free shipping.
do you prefer the thermal tape over thermal paste?
ah right ill prob get some then so.Tape is alot better. No mess. And you get 30 meters for like 15 bucks US. In my opinion. And that's a pretty good deal. Under 150/us for strips and a driver. What strips n driver did you go with?
Yup those are what I'm using for this build. Different driver. But same strips. Those will be super bright. On the 320. You'll like em. Idk it's weird to say it. But it's like the light that comes off them. Is clean. Idk lol you'll see when you get it together. I know it doesnt make any sence. But when you first turn it on. Remember I said that. And see if it doesnt make you think that. Lmfao. Idk maybe I'm just baked. But anyway. Just a tip. Before you power up anything. Turn both pots on the driver all the to left. (Counter clockwise) it's always good just incase you miss wire or anything a little short in a wire you didnt see. Better to be dimmed all the way the first time. Then once it's on crank it up. Idk if you've ever messed with mid power leds. But they are super intense. Itll hurt your eyesah right ill prob get some then so.
yeah man i hope its the right ones but i think they are

Like legit. Mine do atleast. At 275w. Like legit flash burn feeling like from welding. And double check your wiring before turning it on.
Incredible absolutely...I wish I was electrically inclined...Got all the strips mounted to the aluminum tubing. Sanded all the aluminum with 400 grit. Then wiped it all down with denatured alcohol and applied them.
