Update!
I am now partially blind at least for the time being!
I found the AC input selector switch on my cheap little power supply wasn’t fully engaged in the 115v selection, and when I fully engaged the switch, I have full power capabilities now.
HOLY FUCK THESE THINGS ARE AS BRIGHT AS WELDING! I’ve got hundreds of little spots in my vision because when I toggled the switch it just happened to brighten the fuck up and blind me lol.
I’m gonna call this one done! Light is mounted and operational! I doubled up on the supply wire (18g solid tstat wire, rated for 150v or something high like that) just for safety.
Since the last led lights I had only put out 135w I only have my light set to 250w right now, I figure with the added distance and extra 115w that I should ease them into my target of 350w
Will monitor temps and heatsink temps just to make sure I don’t have any fuckery going on, but this completes my Cabinet build!
Thanks for everyone who stayed with me along the way!

Looks great! I still have to do something with my 3x SolStrips.
Very nice and clean @Jellypowered. Looks like a nice even light field. What is your spacing between strips? What’s your temps on the back of the sinks after 30 minutes?
FYI: the SolStrip website is open for business. Version 1.0, with much more coming soon.
-b420
I have them spaced every 3 inches, total length of 30" on my fixture.
I don’t have an exact measurement but I can touch the heatsinks and it’s no warmer than a warm cup of coffee, I’ll use my temp gun when I get back home and update this post.
Edit: The hottest bars are the outside bar, and they are 94F or 34.5C the interior ones that have more air moving across them are 84F or 28.8C (Note, 84 is pretty close to ambient today)
Fascinating @Jellypowered! I dont have much electrical knowledge, much less experience, but these solsrips are something i need. Is there a “Solstrip for dummies” source that you know of? Thanks bro!
Well, everything depends on how many strips you have, and how hard you want to run them. 
I’ll try to break it down as simply as I can using my setup as an example.
Each strip maxes out at 24 volts, 2 amps. This equals 48 watts per strip (Voltage x Amps = Wattage)
I chose to wire them in parallel (All positives connected together, all negatives connected together)
I have 10 strips, If i want to be able to max them out, I need a 24 volt (Since we are wiring parallel the voltage stays the same) 20 amp (To calculate needed amps, 10 strips x 2 amps max) power supply.
Meanwell has pretty easy to decipher drivers,
If you wanted to be able to run them at max you’d want a HLG-480H-24A
The 480 in their product code means wattage, the 24 is voltage, the A is reserved for special functions (A being built in dimmer, B being remote dimming (too complicated for me) and I believe if there is just a 24 without a letter after it, it’s constant power at max output.
If you wanted to run them at 75%
HLG-320H-24A
320w for 10 strips in parallel.
Please note, I was informed that because where I plan to run them, heatsinks were a really good idea.
Here’s some info on that
Since i’m running mine at 300w i’m effectively running them at 62.5% of maximum possible output. However, I wanted the option to run them at 480w (100%) So I opted to get the custom heatsinks (I call them SolSinks) that Baudelaire sells as well. I will probably need to add a fan at some point if I do run them at max, but at 300w the heatsinks getting the least flow are still only 94F. The ones directly below my ventilation are running at ambient temp in my cab, which is 84F at the warmest. This makes sense because they are getting the most air moving around them.
I won’t get into series wiring because I prefer the safety in lower voltages.
But here’s a perfect example of series and parallel wiring.
If you have any more questions I’m sure @Baudelaire or myself could help you out. Got some strips yet? If not, why not lol.
@Baudelaire has his website up and running now, SolStrip Photon Solutions
Edited to add more information and some more math stuff. Learning is fun no? lol.
Wow! Outstanding my man! Many thanks. After several readings and your tutelage I believe this is doable. Even for an old and high hippie! One Love!
You always have us you can ask if you run into hiccups.
I keep editing my post to clarify more things and make it hopefully simpler.
One thing I want to stress, please use the correct sized wiring for your chosen load (amps)
I used 18g solid thermostat wire, technically it is only rated for 10 amps over 50 feet. I chose to double up my strands on the supply side to my “array” for safety. When I only ran one set of wire, it was getting warm (not hot) so I decided two would be better to distribute the load. None of the wiring on the light itself gets noticeably warm, so I am not gonna worry about it since I have less than 5 feet of total wire.
Edit: I just noticed, my wiring looks complicated in my pics above, but it’s only because I chose to use Wago Connectors (3 hole, joined internally, push fit) so I didn’t have to mess with wire nuts. I hate wire nuts.
Old school: wire nuts and electrical tape baby! 
i used i think 18g stranded wire rated for 300v, was like 20$ on amazon for 50ft each of 5 different colours, so i could differentiate between the -/+ on my 2 drivers.
I chose the t-stat wire because it was at home depot and I couldn’t remember how big would fit in the solstrips push fit connectors.
I also chose solid wire because I have my light mounted in a static position, So I won’t be moving it around causing stress on the wire.
My phone is down I’ll get at ya on here jelly and I am in northern Maine.
I use t-stat 18 awg in the SolSheet lamps and kits for the internal strip-to-strip wiring. I use stranded 16 and 14 awg 2- and 3-wire for all exterior wiring. Especially if you are mounting the driver remotely and hanging the lamp, you want the flexibility and durability of stranded, and the extra safety and efficiency of fatter copper. But t-stat rocks for connecting to wagos. Stranded, even when tinned, is just frustrating.
I wish I would have remote mounted the drivers and just ran heavier wire to the fixtures. Would have made it much ezyer to hang the lights plus if you need to change out a driver you ain’t got to take the light down to replace it. Also you can remote mount the dimmers where you want them wish I would have done that as well.
Hey! Yeah I know what you mean. Convenience sometimes is an afterthought isn’t it lol.
I agree, I love my remote ballasts/drivers. I even removed the ballast from my T5 fixture and made it remote 
yes i initially had mine sitting on top of my heatsink (not mounted) but heat was becoming an issue so i removed them from the tent and room and have them on a cold concrete floor to act as heatsink. i wish i would have bought some kind of wire that had 2 separate wires wrapped in a jacket to keep things nice and neat because i don’t have heatshrink or whatever. i ended up just taping the 2 wires together every 6 inches for 20 feet for each driver. annoying!!
how are temps for your lamp when running on max??
The highest i’ve run them is 300w, at 300w the outside 2 strips (least airflow around them) are 94F and the inner strips run 84F with some variation
Think of it like this, if my strips were numbered, 1 and 10 being outside strips, the temps would be as such
Can you tell which 4 strips get the best airflow around them? lol
Edit, I should also mention, Ambient temp in the cab is a steady 82F while lights are on. it only fluctuates +/- 1 degree before my Cloudline T4 raises or lowers fan speed
I had to put a fan above my lights just to get the air to move and cool more evenly that little fan you got there on he floor can you mount that up higher or make it blow the air in a circle. It will help to even things out you don’t have to worry so much about under the lights yet. Still plenty far away before they start nuking. Rember most heat is coming off the top that’s where you want to start with air circulation. Once it starts getting cramped in there air flow over the your heat sinks is going to start to be hard with a fan on the floor.
