Thanks for the links. The build will come in handy. Why is avoiding "high voltage a good choice"? Will building with 5 strips leave me wanting a 6th? Any idea how many strips it would take to 'replace' a 1000w HID?

Safety is the primary reason to avoid high voltage.
A 6th strip would give a little better efficiency and light spread but it's more money and there's a point of diminishing returns. @ANC ?
It depends on the type of HID but I'd say around 650 watts so 7 (or more) of those strips.

It's not weird, you're just wrong again. It's 14.6 amps, not 29. Seriously, take a breath, relax, slow those fingers down, it's not a contest to see who can post the most the fastest.

My eyes just working toooo quick.
That's the 12 I was seeing, not the 24.

DIY LED Strip Build Designs for Samsung H-Series, F-Series, Q-Series, and Bridgelux EB Gen.2 - LED Gardener

DIY LED strip builds have become very popular recently. The mid-power section of our forum is full of threads created by DIYers looking to build their own custom lights, and new builds and ideas are surfacing every day. If you don’t live somewhere where you have easy access to premade lights...

I'm curious....the DIY link above suggests 3000k. I thought I'd use 3500k but they say '3-Step MacAdam Ellipse'. Is that something that should be of concern? Thanks!

I'll leave that to otheres here that can better explain that aspect.

Yes, they don't dim, but I rarely ever use my dimming even though it's on all fixtures I've ever built.
7.3 amps on the LRS-350-48 so if they take up to 2.4 per the data sheet, then 7 would EASILY fit. They'd be receiving 1.04a per strip with 7. Just as 10 would be 730ma to each one. You can fit as many as you want. The only prohibiting thing you'd run into is only being able to use a minimum of 3 per driver giving each one exactly 2.4a.

Selecting the LRS 350 seems like a no-brainer. How come nearly everyone who built a fixture like I'm considering used the HLG-480h-48A? Any input is appreciated!

Just because for DIY the HLG has a waterproofish IP rating so it's safer and can be mounted to the fixture unlike LRS. And they're like 5-10% more efficient

LRS 350 is only 350 watts, not water proof, no dimming, less efficient, exposed terminal strip for connections, etc. It's an industrial power supply intended to be in some type of enclosure.

LRS has 3 year warranty, HLG is 7.

Ya I'd recommend using the LRS-200 or 150 instead. Theyre a bit more efficient, doesn't need a fan, and can be perfect for builds. 3 to a 4X4 for 600 or 450 watts.
