    Was looking at 96 diode strips from not hlg so I decided I'd inquire with hlg about their 96 diode strips. Would be awesome to run 6 retrofit to a mars 300. A bit pricey at that current ( ~700ma) but they'd be powerful. After that I thought of running 10 qb96 on an hlg 240h-c1050 I really...

    Not sure on the 1 plug deal. The 2 drivers in my (garbage) mars 300 run on 1 plug, would be handy. Can wire multiple of your drivers in a 220v junction box kinda deal. Idk if it's actually called a junction box, but I saw pictures so I guess it happened. I have personally wired in 2 qb 288 in...

    Wire driver positive to "board A" positive, bring a new wire from board A negative over to board b positive, attach a new wire to board B negative and connect to driver negative. Repeat for your other 2 boards. Go buy 2 more boards and fix them in the middle ( maybe)

    4 of the 6 are one 2 hlg-185h-c700a and wired in series. Running fine now after 30hrs no break. The 2 boards that were running on the hlg240hc1400 in parallel.... ( assuming that makes 700ma ea) well one anyhow, started cackling when I plugged it in. So not running that.

    I'm a bit embarrassed to admit it but yes I have bought cheap china 304diode pcbs. They may or may not be lm561c diodes. They are defo 100% low quality. Minimal copper between diodes. I have paid hlg for 5 qb 288 ( 135w kitt + 4 boards and 2 xl heatsinks) and 4 qb 120 ( bought the dc jack...

    If I don't use all of the available voltage on a driver will the driver draw less than max power?

    USD$45.99 for the 3000k chip and holder, doesnt seem too far off average. not that I'd take my advice on this subject.
