i have the strips wired in series not using the push connectors but rather soldered straight to the board. they are rated for 1400ma so 1050 is good.
they are the 22 inch strips.
I have built multiple shapes, and voltage total configurations, of 22" EB Series running happily at 1050ma with MW drivers, with minimal heatsinking(aluminium rollstock sheets) achieving satisfactory results, with less than 2% voltage droop at full operating temperatures....

This is why people should stick to pre made boards not much savings if the light won't turn on
Unless of course, one is perfectly capable of building them correctly, for instance the original poster....also the many, many, fine gentlemen who frequent these forums.....
Most are even willing to share in the spread of knowledge of said correct builds, even helping correct a not so uncommon wiring snafu from a fellow DIY enthusiast.

Just don't want the guy to kill himself or burn his or someone else's house down. Alot of people don't do any research they just buy a bunch of stuff that some guy on a forum told them would work. No knowledge and a bunch of stuff that might work together is not a good thing. My first light was a cxb3070 build before the 3590 was available. Before building that I did at least a year of research these lights can be very dangerous
