Tell my friends how are you?
I will be purchasing a Quantum Board LM 301H 240w and where I live the electricity is 110v/120v, not 220v/240v, and I have the QB led panel with two driver options, the Meanwell ELG 240 or the XLG-240, I would like to to know which would definitely be the best choice for me to buy and have maximum performance and efficiency , and if it is true that I would lose power if using the ELG240 and if with the XLG it would not happen , my doubt is that the ELG seems to be a better series with 92.% efficiency, while the XLG is 90% efficient, so what's better? Which one is more worth buying and being satisfied ??

thank you very much friends !! thanks

Only run the light at the rated voltage.
If you run at the wrong voltage you will at best have a dim light or destroy the light and possibly cause a fire.
This is not speculation, it is a fact.
I'm assuming you live in the USA? If you have 120v in your house then you also have 240v because the house is fed by 240v from the power line which is broken into 120v at the breaker panel/fuse box.
Homes use 240v for dyers, electric stoves, and water heaters.
You can have a 240v circuit added to run your light by an electrician or if your handy you can do it yourself, it's not hard just size the wiring and breaker appropriately and shut off the main power at the breaker box when working on it.
Again, do not run a 240v light at 120v
