At least you got an answer out of him, I'll hold off on UV until I see others experience growing with them.
I was looking at that Fissioning light that you posted and I see what you mean about spacing the strips to the edges. I would still like to add some QB18's from HLG to this build so maybe I will move the strips around at that time.

the 480H-48 driver and 6 more strips arrived this morning (18 strips per driver, 0.555a each,26.6w each strips, 480w total)
got 20 meters of 40mm*40mm*4mm cut to 60cm a piece and 2 * 76cm L bar for framing. drilled all the holes for mounting the strips last night and attached the frame. will have drill with a bigger drill bit for the framing today and attaching each bar to the frame. once that is done should be able to mount the strips to the bars and wire it all.
tested 3 strip bars running on a 100h-48 driver that i have here just to test, and that was a lot of light
i have a cheap lux meter and a IR thermometer but those are in the grow space which is not close so i can't really measure the temp of the strips\bars, but it is getting quite hot after an hour or so.. but (science alert) you can still touch the bar with your hand lol
will post more pics and info once done

LRS is a super cheap option that will work just fine. Just should mount them remotely to be safe. I also, would never use the 350. I'd suggest using a 200 & 150.

Hi thanks for the reply. Would you bit use the 350w driver because of a heat issue? Is that also why you say to mount them separate of from the led frame I make? Would I have 2 wire 4 to the 200 and 2 to the 150 is that how it works? Please excuse my lack of knowledge. I'm currently reading about how all this works. I'm looking to maybe running many strips at a lower watt so I can have them closer to my plants as I don't have much hight. I bought 12 of these strips lol.. I'm going to use as side lighting as well. Cheers

Thanks CW.
Site says "package length" instead of 'unit' length. Seeing as precise measurements weigh heavy when planning work it is important to be sure they are not referring to the packaged item for some reason. Appreciate your polite response.

While the LRS-350-48 is listed as an enclosed power supply, it doesn't offer the water resistance necessary for inclusion in the grow space. So, remote mounting of the power supplies is advisable.
While more expensive, a driver such as the HLG-320H-48 is better protected from exposure to the elements(A and AB models are IP65 rated and B models are IP67 rated), offers a better warranty, and also gives you the opportunity to dim via current/voltage adjustment rather than just voltage adjustment with the LRS-350-48.

As others have said, it isn't as high IP rated as other drivers so it's smart to keep it out of the tent. I say to use multiple drivers because of heat, yes. That, and the fact that having all your strips on one driver just puts you in a position where if OT dies, you have nothing. Honestly, 3 150s would be the best. There's no limit to how many strips you can out on its it just splits the output amongst however many strips are on it.
