i love how they advertise... just straight up like it is.. 500Ma is going to run cooler and more efficient while running them at over 1.5A will require a heatsink. So basically 5-50 watts each. Great for any application.

I'm not trying to hi jack your thread, and I'm new to led diy, but is there some kind of blueprint or something I can use for these strips?

Just ask us , we will make you one.
There are many different ways to wire um together..... tell us what your shooting for and we can help. How many strips and how many watts ? We can set you up to run no heatsinks or heatsinks....its all on you. (your goal is to use as many strips as possible with the lowest amount of power going to each one.
500 watts on 10 strips would need a heatsink but 500 watts on 20 strips would need nothing but a frame. (thats just a minor example)

Well, I flower in a 3x3... scrogged... under a 400 watt timber 4vs. I don't believe I wanna go much higher in watts in a 3x3. Also, no heatsinks. Id like it to run cool as possible.

Could I go more strips and get 400 watts?

Thats running them at 500mA . Thats very soft for these strips. You wont need a heatsink. You can EASILY get 600 watts out of 12 strips with a heatsink.

Where the difference come in between wiring in series and parallel. I know the difference between the two wiring styles, just not towards led applications.

How are you doing currently with the timber 400 ? That seems to be a little high on watts....do you have um turned down ? Is this going to be in a tent or something with mylar walls ?

That one is 480 watts but has a dimmer in it. Im trying to be aware of future needs while recommending...
That on 18 strips (any color K you want) and you will still be running them very cool. (26 watts each on full power....so more like 20 or less watts each.

Im just giving you the easiest way to wire um and matching a driver to that.
