Here's an image of a panel and default driver:
I don't know how you would call them in English, but they are 60cmx60cm panels, with built in LEDs. They are 60x60 because that is a standard size for ceiling panels here. So you can just take out a ceiling panel and put in one of these LED panels instead. The driver is external - mainly so you can choose different types of dimming (simple or DALI mostly). I am considering using a common driver for several panels, to save money (the club is not for profit, we don't have a lot of money) mainly on lighting sockets. Having to buy and set up 50 sockets instead of 10, can be a good chunk of money. I hope this makes sense. I have no experience with AC, only low power DC.
We have to change the lights in my tabletennis club. We are going to put up around 50 panels in 3 strings Each panel is 40w and 24vdc. I was wondering what the best and most cost-effective way to do this might be.
One of the things I was looking to do was to get a single driver for several panels. Maybe a 200w driver for 5 panels? But would it then be better to do it in series with 120v or in parallel. And should the driver be constant power, or?
I will appreciate any and all help!

Thank you again for diving in to this. It looks like speechify don't support Danish.
On Resemble AI, they have something like Elevenlabs:
For professional voice cloning through data upload, we require explicit, verifiable consent from the voice talent. This involves providing a clear audio consent statement along with the training data, so that we can confirm the identity. By uploading voice data, you're confirming that you have such consent, which should align with our guidelines. The consent recording must follow our template, e.g., "I acknowledge my recordings will be used by [Your Company] to create a synthetic voice by Resemble AI." For any questions regarding consent, please reach out to us.
I will try to contact them regarding my use, which is neither commercial, nor using "voice talent" exactly.
This project looks very cool, but at 300usd+ I think it is out my budget range for this project.
Was this with the "Instant voice clone"?
Looks very cool. I was unable to see anything regarding languages. Is it completely language independent somehow, or is it English only?
I can't find this. Where is it on the German page?
Thank you for the tips. As I see it currently, I expect the language to be the biggest hurdle. It doesn't appear like something I can add myself, even if I had the data for a model. So as far as I can tell it involves two currently more or less impossible steps: Get model data and teach language to model.
I did sign up for ElevenLabs, unfortunately they cannot allow me to clone a dead persons voice, as per their FAQ:
You may only clone your own voice or a voice you have the rights to clone. For added security, when creating a Professional Voice Clone we require users to complete a Voice Captcha mechanism by reading a text prompt within a specific time to confirm your voice matches the training samples you upload for training. If there’s a match, your request is sent for fine-tuning. If not, you’ll have to reach out via our help center to have your voice verified manually.
Now I'm sure it wouldn't be an issue to get the legal rights, but when I spoke to their support, they did not have any way to verify beyond the captcha.
Sure, did you think their webbed toes and their water spaniel ancestry would mean anything?
Ah, outlets are around 15usd for the cheapest here and look like this:
And then we need the box, which is also around 15usd.
So maybe 1.500usd, which is quite a bit of money for us.
The thing is, regulations don't allow us to simply daisy chain mains voltage without one of those outlets for each link - except maybe if the driver had daisy chaining in it, but I can't seem to find one.
This is why I was hoping to maybe find a driver that would at least let us daisy chain 5 or 6 panels, since I'm allowed to do just about anything I want with DC, it is hardly regulated.
