For sure. Ive been wanting to build a strip light for awhile now. Cant wait to see more on these.I like that design much more than PLC's.

Nope, there are settings or possible circuit designs where either the one or the other has no effect. They both work together and one limits each other. When the driver runs in CC mode it means you can always "get" the full current of the driver but you can dimm the current down to 50%. He skipped a few things and should have more often mentioned when the driver use the CC mode.
Rule of thumb is, if the voltage of the connected LED modules falls in the CC region the driver use the CC mode. If the voltage of the circuit is higher it works in CV mode means when the connected LED module needs more than the nominal voltage.
If you use an HLG-120H-48A for instance to run a 54v QB you need to set the voltage regulator at maximum which is 53v(or a bit more). The driver would work in CV mode also when the boards takes less the 2amps at 53v. And if you dimm the current regulator down it would still work in CV mode. Only when you reach the point below 48v he would switch in CC mode but at 48v the board would be already off or take only 100mA or so.
If you use the HLG-120H-54A and set the voltage to 60v and enable all available current flow the voltage would go above 54v and the driver would work in CV mode. In this mode you get the most power out of this driver and you can get up to 165w out of an HLG-120.
Meanwell offers test reports for all their drivers and only in this reports you can see what you really can get out of their drivers. Below is from HLG-320H-C series but they are available for the CV drivers too.
Wonder what CRI would be on that strip. Real nice.Atreum's building a new strip model as well. Check it out

Yeah, I wondered the same. But it sometimes seems to be tantamount to heresy around here if you question PLC.+1
The first moment I saw the PLC strips I thought, why the heck does a professional make such an obvious mistake with the gerber files?!? Strips are used 8-12" away from the tops?!?
Much better red coverage with this strips here; they look almost like Sammys horti strips but with a much better indoor siutable 4k+660nm spectrum.

eight 144.2 at 60 watts per in 3x4x8 bloom room . had the meanwells already so that savedView attachment 4258194 a bunch of coin.
time to start some seeds!
thanks @Humple and @whytewidow : went with diffuse light sources at 4000K.

HLG-600H-54A, my friend. Wired in parallel.I bought 6 of these atreum boards i wanted to power them with a 600w driver any suggetstions how too? For a 5x5 space.

Should i get the 54b and a dimmer? Or would i be better off with 54a.HLG-600H-54A, my friend. Wired in parallel.

They said they should release more information in 4-6 weeks when I asked them around a week ago.When are these coming out? Any idea
if you got the 144's , you need a 36v driver.I bought 6 of these atreum boards i wanted to power them with a 600w driver any suggetstions how too? For a 5x5 space.
