You’re supposed to work on an average of 36w/sq ft. So 16 x 36 = 576w in a 4x4.
4x8 strip (bridgelux eb gen 2 1120mm) series wired on each driver. Factoring in driver loss would give you 812.4w of power. If you wanted to go ridiculous. Had the right airflow and genetics you could probably push that. But for the most part it’s dimmable. So you could dial it back to optimum numbers. Better to have it and not need it. Than need it and not have it
That’s what I would do. And am. Just half of in a 2x4 lol

I’d do the hlg qb 132 on lrs 350-36. I don’t run that driver is use the hlg 300. But it is also double price.
It’s still 300 watts per 4 pack and it’s $300-350 for 600 watts.
I’m running 120’s and 132’s in a 5x5. Bit I don’t have it packed.

After doubling the cost on my build with all components so there would be some - on delivery etc. And everything seems to be cheaper stateside anyway. At the current exchange rate $610.28 would get you absolutely every component needed for the 812.4w mentioned.
Good man @MidwestMover coming straight in with differing options. Wattages and cost.
