Samsung led strip on 600h-36b

Can anyone tell me how many Samsung SI-B8T261280WW which are rated at 23v I can run on a 600w 36v driver?

The driver spec sheet says it’s voltage is 18-36v. I’m not sure how it determines the voltage needed and how it would distribute the watts.

Maybe link exact driver
Sorry I thought hlg were standard
Edit my bad I just re-read my post and I didn’t include hlg in it

The voltage is 36. You want an HLG-600-24
What you look at is it's Amps OUTPUT. The divide that number with however many strips you want to use.
25amps on the HLG-600-24. So if you use 25 strips, they'll each receive 1amp(1,000ma)
50 strips, 0.5amps(500ma)
And so on...

I know that mate. I just have loads of hlg-600h-36b sitting not being used that I’d like to use for these strips.

If there is a way to wire the strips so that they get the current voltage?

Put a meter on the output leads and adjust the trimmers. Check to see if you can get the output to your needed values. Don't forget under load the values will drop slightly.
If you can get them down to around 20 volts I'd hook up a strip and see what happens...lol
But then again I'm running some LEDS with a bridge rect and a few ceramic resistors atm...lol

There are no trimmers, only 3-in-1 external dimming.

He's talk about the forward voltage guys.
He has a b version, the vF does not adjust
Do you know what it means by the voltage range in the photo I posted?

Is there a way to wire the leds to split the voltage up to make the work etc?

All HLG drivers will adjust their voltage automatically to match what the LEDs want. A/B/AB, all the same, it will adjust.

Are you sure about this? I don’t want to fry new strips. How does it work? Will it mean the driver outputs less than 600w?

So basically you would have 23v X 16.7amps not making full use of the driver (384w) but making use of it none the less..?
That's the way I always thought It worked with these drivers but im second guessing myself now.

A way to get more out of it would be to usea 12v strip in series parallel , like the 1ft Samsung Q series.

3 x 1ft strip per series then parallel the fuck out it.

Never considered the Q series how do they compare to the f series?

To quote LED gardener.

"Samsung’s Q-Series uses the current top-dog of diodes: the LM301B. These diodes are rated at over 200 lumens per watt, vs. the 187 lumens per watt that the LM561C is rated for. The Q-Series strips are still quite new, and, as such, are more expensive than the H-Series and F-Series strips. They also have the lowest diode count per strip, which does matter in medium to large sized builds.
Opposite of the H-Series, the Q-Series strips all have the same max current, but the typical voltage across each length is different

LT-Q282A (20 Diodes, 4 Series x 5 Parallel, Voltage = ~12V, Max Current = 1,000mA)
3000K: SI-B8V051280US
3500K: SI-B8U051280US
4000K: SI-B8T051280US
5000K: SI-B8R051280US"

Yeh was just looking at them at digikey total cost sky rocketed using those
