6 strips in series, is ~150v.I have these boards. Do not wire them in series. They get super hot even with good sinking. And they have a ton of voltage drop going in one side, and out the other side of the strip.
Are you saying that all the board traces and components have an inherent resistance value rated for 24v but because it's in series that the excess of 150 total volts minus the rated 24 volts is what's heating up your first few strips? The traces aren't big enough to handle the entire circuits voltage and are expelling that resistance as heat? That the the first few strips handle much more of the excess voltage than the end strips? That the traces are so small that passing 150v through them is to much to handle because they only big and wide enough for 24v?
Ya @ApfelStrudel I don't see how that's not plausible??
2.5A ÷ 6 is only 410mA??I run 6 of them in parallel on a HLG-240H-24A
Edit: wired in a parallel I pushed 2.5A through these boards.
...
I'm running the 6 i have now at 1666mA.

1.66 × 6 = ~10A
How were you wiring them up initially? With 2.5A in parallel? 2.5A each strip?
