Hello,

I want to build a fixture using the F-Series 2 foot strips won't let me link it -

SI-B8V261560WW

With an HLG-240H-24A maxed out to 280 watts.

Not sure if I can use 9 strips to max out the driver at 280 watts or would I need 10?

Thank you.

The 22" single row strips are good for up to 1.8 amps - about 45W each. So you could potentially max it out with as few as 7 strips.. You can add as many above that as you want. Ten is a nice round number to work with.

10 strips at that power range makes for a hella nice light. What space are you in OP?

Looking to make it for a 2 x 4 tent I currently have. Possibly expandable later to a 4 x 4 or 5 x 5. Wanted to take advantage of the price breaks at 25+ strips. So I could potentially make 3 fixtures and have 1 for vegging in the 2 x 4 and 2 for the flowering room? I missed the deadline for the 10% off Arrow was hoping to get my order in tonight before it ended....I truly appreciate your responses @nfhiggs and @skoomd if the minimum was less than 100 for the 4 footers I would've got those. Just curious how many of the 4 footers for the same driver 240H-48A of course when you turn it up to max at 280 watts?

4 of the 4 footers would max the driver, but 6-8 of them would be lovely.

Why not get the 4-footers from digikey, they offer less than 100pcs and the 10% discount is already ended anyway.
