Good stuff, thinking of rebuilding my Solaris that has been sitting in the basement, got tired of PSU's, and LED banks going dim or dying

..... but I do have a DIY setup on my 210 right now 120LED's and thinking maybe this will work so the question is:

What is the max per Driver: Original does 5X 5 plugs, but i saw that the output of course is less than that of cree, so thats why you went with 4 LED per string? I also noticed you did 4 totals strings instead of all 5? Since you are able to run 4 LED's per string do you think i could get away with running 5 Strings of 4? Assuming that each string puts out the same Vf, and A.

Sorry, i am terrible at the electronics and barely got away with doing my 120LED rig lol.

thanks.
