You will be safe with the 48A, but why the 240? If you only need 30W each you could get by with the HLG120H-48A. With the 240 I don't think you'd have enough range on the current pot to get down to 30W each.

Might turn them up higher down the road you know, good to have that option.

54 is fine, but know the wiring is different if you go this route. with C1400 for instance, each cob is wired TOGETHER, or end to end, where as the 54a, they need a rail for each pole.

the 54a version makes a mess of things.

Well, in the case of the 'B' drivers you would not have enough voltage on a 48B to drive 50V devices. The 'A' drivers are more flexible in that regard. You'd have to get the 54B to drive 50V COB's/boards if you need remote dimming.
