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.

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.

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?

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 eyes
Like legit. Mine do atleast. At 275w. Like legit flash burn feeling like from welding. And double check your wiring before turning it on.
