    I value the importance of redundancy but to me efficiency is more important otherwise why not just use hps your 600 watt 48v powesupply is only 88% and with drivers drops it to 83.6% which 10% less then the 185-c . pushing the LEDs past their rated ma further reduces efficiency of the LEDs while...

I use 700ma mean well pucks because the lower amps actually increases the efficiency. To wire the pucks you just wire solder a puck...
