Do I buy 10 or 175? 2 foot Samsung for 31cents each/40 cents CND

I purchased 175 strips for $70.16and was hit with $20.28 in duties for a total of $90.44 CND I don't mind the 4000K as they will be veg lights. I will most likely sell the extras local for a profit. I have a bunch of extra drivers to so It's just a frame to build,.

I thought about that too as I have a bunch of the delta drivers that I couldn't pass up but need to find a home for. I am going to make some veg lights for friends with the strips i got and was thinking i could put some others on Craigslist for sale, but here at least there's a ton of cheap blurples and old mars lights for dirt cheap on CL already. I feel like anyone who knows the difference is gonna want an lm301 series diode anyways. was afraid I'm gonna get stuck w a bunch of strips no one wants.

couldn't help myself and grabbed 30 of the 4000k last night when I was ordering some other stuff.

I noticed the V series runs at 25.5V and not 24V. Do they still run ok off 24V drivers?
depends on what driver. if you get a Meanwell A or AB type, or a Delta WAAA you should be able to adjust the voltage up a bit. a standard 24V driver without dimming might not have enough voltage. but i think at lower current it should draw less voltage anyway so maybe if you run them real soft? not sure I need to look at datasheet.

Thanks. For some reason I can't find a data sheet from Samsung on these. They're in a general PDF, but I can't find one about that series specifically. The website now only has data sheets for the newer version of them. I have no idea how I would find data sheets for obsolete strips.....

I just wired 4 - 4K 25v to a hlg-60-24b and can dial it up to 82w . So yes you can, just make sure you get an a/b- adjustable Volt and Current. Like reggae said :peace::joint:
