Do they have 288 in stock for same price? Only reason I ask is because 3 of them fit nicely on hlg-320-1750, and you could probably get away with mounting 3 on 2x4 aluminum plate very well at that current.

What current? At 1050ma youāre looking at 20 watts per strip. 500+ watts may be pushing it a little. I would probably do 700ma though. Maybe see if there is a good driver fitment there, potentially dropping driver size and going to 700ma. For a 2x4 fixture really no need to be over 400 watts there.

Oh I remember u said you ordered some already
they are about the only ones!! lol
iām bouncing back and fourth in my mind about what i wanted @Aolelon
The penetration from a strips build is suppose to be ridiculous. Talking to a couple guys that have done them they say itās way better than QB or COBs

You have so many points of light so there is really no hotspots like with the QB or COBs and it is a lot harder to oversaturate your plants with them.

I have had cobs for almost 3 years and strips for probably close to 2, and now a functioning qb. That statement isnāt true. The strips are good, they nor the qb appear to get better light penetration than cobs. You also donāt have the fall off with cobs provided theyāre spaced properly. If you put strips side by side touching, or spaced evenly you still have drop off moving away from center. I have them both ways.
People decide in their head that what they want to do is better for whatever reason, and then need to justify it.

@BIGE sorry about the delay. Have my hands full with a few other issues.
Each hlg-60h-c700 will run 5 gen2 560mm strips. I got 100vdc available on driver and typ fv of 19.5 at 700ma on the strips. Look right?

The dropoff isnt as bad as you make it sound.
This is a ppfd of a 3x3 build of 320w 3000k 10 single row f-series strips @18 inches
Hereās one at 12"
And hereās the hlg 300

If Iām not mistaken hlg-300 is 280ish watts at wall and that Samsung build is 330 on the dc side right? Not impressive at all. Plus, you kinda cherry picked on the hlg-300. How do they compare when itās at 24ā? Not that much different, for almost 100 watts less and 8ā higher.

Iām just mentioning the dropoff, itās not that extreme, plus with the strips you are able to keep them a lot closer than the qb boards because they dont create the hotspots like the boards do so 12" as opposed to the 18" of QB. Either way I have the QB boards and have kept them within 12-14" and have noticed no Iāll effects. I have a bunch more panels on the way and will be putting 6 of them in my room run pretty low

And the strip build is really 313w at the wall the hlg 300 is 285 so not a major difference. 30w
