I didn't see the word sell or distribute.... I think what he meant is the money saved from the grow can be put towards more lightingIf I was in a non legal state I would probably be a little more worried about how I stated it but thank you anyways guess not always the best to just blast stuff out there. If its breaking the rules I do apologize and will correct it.
Hey
i would like create a DIY Board with
Samsung F-Series Gen3 (LT-FB22B) strips (112cm) 3000K
Reason for not use the LT-FB24B double strips is, with single strips i can better devide.. with more cable and work but thats ok...

Thank you mate you are spot on with thisI didn't see the word sell or distribute.... I think what he meant is the money saved from the grow can be put towards more lighting
Good to hear man! I'd rather see you growing anyways .No way, no day. I'm burnt out on lights. I just wanna grow! And now four of the seven beans are above ground.
This is a simplification but here goes:
The easy way to think about building a CV-CC system is to look at the Fv of the lighting device, in this case a nominal 46V. So you need a 48V driver in the Mean Well range. Any of the Mean Well HLG-XXXH-48A drivers will work so you make a choice based on your desired output, say 320W, 480W, or 600W max. Each driver has a current adjust range. The 600H-48A is 6.2-12.5A. Look at the light's data sheet and see what the drive current is for each strip. The FB22B is 1120mA typ, but can be driven to 1800mA max. What is the minimum number of strips that will safely run on the 600H-48A? The minimum driver output is 6200ma. The max strip capacity is 1800mA. 6200/1800=3.44. So four strips is the minimum and each strip would be run at 1550mA. Trying to run three strips would put each strip at 2066mA which would overdrive the strips to failure. For twelve strips at the driver max of 12.5A each strip would see 1.042A.
A 480H-48A would provide 40W per square foot with plenty of headroom and be a good choice for a 2x4 area. You're on your own for the red leds.
And unless I'm having a stroke or somehow transcended time I think I've answered this exact question before.
I'm not a light specialist either, Sopa. I'm learning as I go. I may play with red leds later in my grow but, like you, I need to do some research. I'd suggest searching YouTube for GrowMau5.
Your led wiring plan doesn't make best use of the strips. The series runs will have a voltage drop of 276V, which is a good fit to the 185H-C700, but each parallel group is only going to see 350mA, which is only 20% of max. The whole system would only output about 200W of light, or 25W/ftsq. Do you already have that driver and that's why you want to use it?
If you really want to do series/parallel you could go three series strings for a voltage drop of 185V each and run a 480H-C2100 for 700mA per parallel. Or just go with the 480H-48A that I originally suggested.

I wish I could help you Sopa but I am just learning about the red spectrum benefits and uses.

OK, here's the build I'd recommend for a fun, safe, no explosions led experience over a 2'x4' area. It's still capable of more light energy than what's strictly needed but it allows you to run the leds gently for better efficiency and less heat generated.
1_____Mean Well HLG-480H-48A
4_____Samsung F Series Gen3 44" double row strips
4_____Al u-channel, 1.5" x 1.5" x 0.125" x 44"
1_____roll, thermal heat tape
1_____AC male plug end
You'll also need some 14ga zip cord, 18ga solid wire, and suitable electrical connectors. It can be easily assembled using simple hand tools. It'll help if you also buy an inexpensive Kill-A-Watt meter for each system.
For myself this is a 2x4 system, but it could handle a 4x4 area and still provide over 30W per foot square if driven to 500W.
Figure about $350USD.
Hello Rider!
I was hoping you could give me a help mounting 28x FB22B strips in parallel.
I'm making a LED build next week, could you please give me your opinion?
This build will be used in a 5x5 tent.
Any advice?
How about safety issues?
Should I use thermal switch? If yes, how many? One per strip?
