So I sent an E-mail to bridgelux and was quoted an ex-factory price from Hong Kong which I then used to ask for a lower price via chat and this is what was offered and quoted. The only reason I went to Digikey was that the factory had a MOQ of 100 units.
Kinda confused on what all that means. Discounted gen2s and gen3s and MeanWell Drivers? Which models and price?

Please look at the attached images for the model however I am referring to Gen3's

The quotes shared in my last post are Gen3s, please look at the attached images for clarification. If you purchase 30 of the 4 footers via chat and use my quotes then chances are you can get the same price of $9.5. Gen2s were never mentioned by me my dude.

I just saw the 1200 in the part # and below the 1190. I was just under the impression the gen 2s used the 1200 numbers that's all. No biggy man.

Edit:
the 13.5" strips voltage is much less. Being 10.9-13ish. So use lrs-100/75-12's instead. ;)
so the driver would be lrs 100-12???? and how many strips can i run for each driver?
(my input voltage and 230 v I say it for scruple maybe it can change something and my orders are from europe ...)

It's got 8.5amps on it, so you'll be able to use the same 8-10 to be just under an amp for each strip. Maybe use 12 though just to be safe, so you don't have to worry about heatsinking at all. because if you use 12, you'll be running each of the 12 strips at 700mA a piece which is what people have said here is low enough to run without heatsinks. At least the gen 2s. So i would think the 3rd gen is the same.

12 pcs is great ..
should i connect them in parallel?

Yes, you have to use parallel circuits with that driver. You can just run a thicker 14awg wire off the driver up to the fixture than use 4x 5 lever wagos to branch off to the strips. Just use the 14gauge wire between wagos and from the driver to the first wago just to be safe and you're set!
