Wouldn’t the metal hanging clips complete a circuit defeating the thermal pads insulation? (I am obviously not an EE)

I need to pull it out and inspect better, but the outside of the driver case should be bonded to common, and everything else that can get energized should have a conductive path to the outside of the driver case...thus everything is bonded to common. This way, there is a conductive path to common ground for any stray charges.

I got my 400 watt tonight. Drivers look the same as my 200. I'm guessing you never got word from manufacturer or Meanwell?

I contacted MeanWell through their main info@... posted on their websites contact us page. They responded yesterday and said they are forwarding the issue to the right office in the US to look into it. I will post anything of interest.

I checked, and on my PANDVILLOW 400w all PCB's, heatsink, driver enclosures all return to common ground.

I do gotta admit, it's pretty bright! The dimmer works well, the heatsink is pretty heavy duty. I think I might switch out the szhlux 400 watt with this one come time to flower. The spectrum on this one seems redder. The only concern I have is the power cord is kinda thin compared to my 400 watt timber.

Get the Photone app for your phone, Migro tested it and found it quite accurate, not perfect but very close to high price meters and I have found it valuable in assessing various lighting. I recommend it.
Very reasonable and improves constantly. Check Migro on YouTube.

I literally was just watching a video on that from someone else that wasn't migro. I've seen his video before too

My phone shows within 100k on advertised k rating on every light I have tried it on. Take the pay version for a month or two, incredibly interesting.
