So I have couple old drivers from maxisun pb4000 I was wondering if I could use them to build a strip light they are Chinese ones sosen model SS-200VA-56 no letter after 56 so no dimmer but output is 22-56v 2.8-5.6A max 60v was thinking f series gen 3 SI-B8VZ91B20WW how many or anyone recommend different or better option I was just seeing if I could use the drivers first if not probably go different f series any help or suggestions be great thank you for stopping to read

Since they'll be wired in parallel, you'll need at least 3 strips to get the current at each strip down to a tolerable level. Then it's a question of how many is too many. 10 might be overkill, 5 might be the sweet spot, up to you.

Net power will likely be around 240watts.

Yeah I was looking for around that or figured anyway I don't want over kill but was hoping to get around 200w but also not just watt's but want good ppfdI also have a couple hlg 185h 48a drivers as well the sosen 200 has internal dimmer? If I said right there is a screw can I do that to turn it down or up I'm pretty good a picking things up by reading and so on but this driver stuff makes me more confused as I read
