    I am looking at getting the hlg-185-42b driver to wire up my 72 led kit. I have bridgelux leds and want to run them at around 500-600 ma. I know that I need to run 8 parallel strings of 9 leds to achieve this. I have never run a parallel circuit in my life and am having a hard time understanding how I will run 8 parallel strings from the one driver? If anyone has used this driver or can offer any help at all it would be greatly appreciated
