Driver Voltage

Hello!

How many volts should I drive a MeanWell 320H-48A with 12x Samsung FB64B in parallel?
46? 46.5? 45.5?

Thanks in advance!

There is no way to control the voltage, the dimmer controls the power or amperage. So the resistance or Ohms of the strips dictates what voltage they will run at a given current or amperage.
I can control the voltage as I'm using a CV driver: MeanWell 320H-48A.
I can dim both Amps and Volts in this driver.

JavaCo may not be familiar with the Meanwell CV drivers since so may people here push the CC drivers which do work as he describes.

To do this properly, you need to set it up using a meter in series with a strip to measure the DC current through the strip. Turn the voltage up until you get about 1 amp of current. Then let it stabilize for a couple of hours, then readjust for your target amperage.
