Seeking guidance on type of LED driver needed

Get some random Laptop power supply (up to 30V, but less is more efficient, the thing is buck/boost) and get some of these, for example:

Use one for 2 bars. You can use one voltage supply to power multiple ones, but go for a higher power rating, the driver also has loss.

Or look through the Meanwell product line for a constant current supply that can go directly to mains.
