Bridgelux rates the 560mm max 1400mA, but they can handle alot more. I've pushed 2400mA through them only mounted on 1" U channel from lowes. For an entire flower run. With only a fan blowing on the back. Nothing else. Mounted with thermal tape. Not 1.problem. they can be over driven 2x's but I wouldnt recommend it without really good cooling.

I'm running 16 strips total. 8 on HLG-240H-c1400a and the other 8 on the same driver.
21.6vdc @1.4A for a total of 30.24w per strip. For a total of 483.84w but I use A type drivers. 8 strips on the hlg-240h-c1400a will hit 252w. For a total of 504w if I wanted. But I dont need that much. I'll probably run them around 450w total.
I really appreciate you taking the time to explain this stuff. I'm trying to switch over to strip builds and I want to make sure I do it in the best way possible for my situation. So, thank you!

That's exactly what I was planning to do. Install twice as many as needed and run them at half power. It's expensive in the beginning, but it would pay off over the long run in power savings. Also, those strips last forever, apparently, especially if you're running them at half power. Plus, doing it this way, it runs cooler, and you have complete coverage. I suppose you can also set the lights closer to the plants.

have a look through the led section here plenty of chat about diy strip builds.
have a read of this http://ledgardener.com/diy-led-strip-build-designs-samsung-bridgelux/ some good basic info, he also has a good series of videos on the meanwell drivers as well that are worth a watch if led's are all new too you.

thought id see what all the fuss is about just got a preorder in for-

Sundae Driver X Wedding cake
Wedding Cake X Banana cookies
Banana cookies x Gorilla Glue
Stardawg Corey cut x Adub

didnt bother going for any S1's as im going on a treasure hunt!...
Umm I think you may want to rethink your order unless I'm missing something. Those are all the free crosses being given out with a purchase of s1's. So you could have 8 packs of beans or 4 packs for the same price???? Why would you sacrifice them?

He didnt want any s1s and asked if he could buy the crosses instead. So he got 4 6 packs and the other 6 packs are just combined into (4) 12 packs.
Genius if you ask me lol. Dude got 4 12 packs of fems shipped to the UK for 265 out the door.

48 fems with them crosses hes gonna find 1 or 2 plants worth having without a doubt
