Beautiful build. These are series wired drivers right? @Rocket Soul

Because I'm in the early stages of investigation of alternate to HID lighting, I'll ask you... what is the factor that determines whether panels are wired in series or parallel? Is it simply a constant voltage vs constant current thing, or is there more behind that?

What is the voltage of these strips

Since there is 2 drivers for 16 strips then joining 8 strips can be done many ways...hope this helps some. :P
basic led info.png
Outside power lines could also go down the center too...just make sure to match the polarity correctly.
So if driver outputs 48 volts then adding 2 strips in series is needed if strips are 24 volts each.
