    Need help finding Lm301 H or B led strips

    This is exactly what I have in mind. What are the temps on the strips? How do you attach the strips to the aluminum, tape or cpu paste? Cobs I’m running now are very hot with passive cooling however they have lasted 7 years. IDE imagine strips would last even longer since heat is spread out

    Engine calculator is way above my head. About the only thing i can match up now is driver/voltage/amperage to the strip . Havent the slightest clue if i need ceramic, array, flux code etc. However I am looking for 3000k-3500k latest gen leds wattage around 400-500 watt

    Not sure if I can repurpose the driver, Its powering CXB3590 cobs at 36 volts atm. Guess it depends on the strip

    What do you guys think about LEDs from overseas?

    Is your house old? My diy light also shocked me until I installed a ground wire. Homes 50 years or older do not usually have ground.

    Still using cxb3590 3500k and love the spectrum. It’s easy in the eyes and right in the middle of what you need. I’m all in on 3500k
