Perhaps you can clarify something for me. Theres a specification for 240W and 180W. The 240W says its 5A(Input:200-240V) and the 180 says its 3.75A(Input 100-200V).that is a nice driver for sure. the cheapest option I can think of real quick would be to get a 4 pack of the QB120's which can run at 60W each w no heatsink. Some 1/4 angle aluminum would make a cheap and simple frame.

They run at 24v tho, so you would need to do a parallel-series circuit. 2 boards connected in series splits the voltage, those each connect in parallel back to the driver.
Something like this:

I think that is all correct but someone else pls confirm.
Since I am using North American 120V does that mean that this driver can only run at 180W (input 100-200V)? and not at 240W which says the input is 200-240V?
If that were the case would I need 4 boards that are 45W each (4x45W =180W)?
Also what's the best spectrum, 3000, 3500 or 4000K?
