Question regarding powering LED drivers with different voltage needs

If you are going to use those drivers, you'd be best served by something like this.

And you won't trip the breaker btw. That's only about 5a. You're drawing from an AC outlet. The calculation is different. :)

That is interesting. The inrush is much lower, however the efficiency seems to be poor. Per the information on amazon "Input current 6.5A/115V", compared to the HLG spec sheet "AC CURRENT (Typ.) 3.5A / 115V". I am going to investigate some other switching power supplies, to see if there are some that are more efficient and have a less than a 70A inrush at startup.
