Ordered the 320's yesterday and picking up a couple of DROK's that was suggested from another thread. Assuming everything will get here in a couple of days, I hope to be up and running this weekend.

Neat setup. I'm not really concerned with what I'm pulling from the wall. I'll have two A type drivers and 8 boards and I am looking to monitor what is going to the boards and to be able to balance between the two drivers.

Thanks for pointing that out. I'm doing parallel so only need about 50v. The granularity on the amperage side is more of a concern for me and since that has two decimal places it should be fine. Pulled the trigger on a couple of them. Drivers are on the way as well so I hope to be live this...

Ok so will this work? Only one review. Any suggestions on a better model or is that it? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FYHTBD2/?coliid=I1EJFGJ00YX0XK&colid=2GQ914KZRGB5G&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

That never even occurred to me! I have solid 18AGW NTE wire ( what HLG links to on the guide page ) and didn't realize I can do multiples in a single hole. That works perfectly for a 5 port. Boards doubled up in 2 ports, 1 from the driver and the other two free to use two multi meters. Thank...

Ok that looks awesome. A few questions... Is it accurate and granular? So I don't get the battery diagram. I have to have an external battery that I wire to it? There isn't a battery compartment and I just stick one in? It shows the load being downstream so I would come out of the driver, into...

Ok I'm confused by that. My experience with this so far is watching videos so.... I recall a LEDGardener one where he is talking about dialing in an A type driver in a parallel circuit. I'd like to be able to measure both at the same time. The A type driver has two adjustments correct? One for...

No I didn't. I literally was hovering over submit and just for the hell of it googled the difference between HLG and ELG drivers before clicking. Got a hit here and on LEDGardener talking about the 75% so assumed it was real. So two questions for you and I appreciate your help so far. I have all...

So the ELG's only run at 75% power on a 110v connection. So no the ELG-240 WILL NOT work.

Thanks for the suggestions on the meters but I still don't know hot to properly measure. Should I chain Wago's together as I had originally asked? A 5 port is filled with the 4 boards and the driver.

^ Really? I can only find the 5's! 7 port would be ideal! Am I correct in wanting to plug the multimeter into the wago for my readings? BTW, you had responded on my CREE build post. Talked me into Samsung. Bought 8 Rspec QB boards.

Would like a suggestion on a pair of multimeters and also the best way to wire / take measurements. I'll be wiring 4 QB boards in parallel off of one driver. I plan to use the 5 port Wago's ( there is nothing larger right? ) and wire each board back to the Wago and then the 5th connection being...

According to the email response I got the Rspec is .5v higher than the V2. OK I'm sold on doing all 4 at 1400. The ELG-240-48A makes sense. I don't have a way to measure my output so considering they will *just* run 4 boards at 1400 mA I like that I'll pretty much know what they are at. If I...

Wow... had a box sitting outside my door today. Thought it was an Amazon order and much to my surprise it is my HLG stuff. I'm impressed. I ordered a little after 7 PM Eastern on Tuesday and two days later I had all my stuff. Hopefully I can add two photos.... I have laid out the heat sinks...

Ok so if I should be aiming for 500 watts, I think I have two options. The first option is 8 boards @ 1400 for a total of 534 watts. There are no numbers for 1750 but I bet it is near 85 watts. I'm going with 84.7. The second option would be 6 boards @ 1750 for about 508 watts. As I see it...
