I'm planning to buy your EUC-200S700DT driver. How would I cable that to drive 80 LEDs. Any diagrams would greatly appreciate it.

I wanted to use it cause it will reduce my driver count greatly but how dangerous it is?

We decided to no longer stock the 200 watt as there was limited demand. We do have the 150watt version which runs 30-60LEDs. I have 7 on my system and they work great.

As far as safety they are not class II and recommended for experienced users only.

At a max forward voltage of 217vdc you would wire all the LEDs in series.
The alternative is to use a higher current lower voltage Mean Well Driver with parallel strings.

Just did some final evaluation on the 150 watt on my personal system and found I need a 2K resistor to allow complete dimming via 1-10VDC. Easy fix but not what we like...

My apologies to PETA. All of our products are tested over live animals...Sometimes we do cut them up...and then glue them to rocks...:beer:

Parallel Strings work but given the ease, we are recommending multiple 40watt drivers on a fused power strip or the 150 with a 2K resistor...

If you want to stay class II on a large build, parallel strings on a Mean Well driver are your best option.
