DiY LEDs - How to Power Them

[medicinehuman]

Those are pretty much inventronics drivers. Just like meanwell has their own china direct option, lsd power or something..

Scpower....

They just let me know that they have 1 in stock-$115.00 plus delivery. Better jump on that deal someone

I have 5 Inventronics quad drivers , paid 30-40 $ each delivered. So far am quite happy with them even though not as efficient as meanwells. They run a little bit cooler, they have a better heatsink housing IMO, there ribbed on top and sides compared to meanwell that are just ribbed on the the sides.

Could I run 6 CXA 3070 on a meanwell hlg-185h-c700 or would it be better to run them on two of the same driver but the c1050? I know the cxbs are out and I plan on getting some for my next panel but I already have two CXA that I'm gonna add to my panel that has 4.

Yay! LSDpower drivers just got here!

Shipping took about a week with FedEx international economy.



Lighter for scale, cant wait to see them in action!

Can someone give me recommendations regarding wire size/jacket for this driver?:

high voltage (425v) low amperage (.35a)

Depends on how hard/soft you want then to run.

 

[mar1o]

I want them to run optimally.Can someone please look at data sheet coz im noob for electronic.Thanks

I looked at the data sheet lol
You can run them anywhere between 0 and 3.2 A. You have to give us more, such as the area you want to cover, how many COBs you have, ...

 

[mar1o]

I have 5 cobs and want to use them for flowering.Area is 3.3'x3.3' grow cabinet.

Now we're getting somewhere. For such space you'd need to run them at about 1.8 A. You can use Meanwell HLN-80H-42 or HLP-80H-42. Or any driver with Vf > 40V
Or buy another 5 and them on 2 MW HLG-185H-C1050. This would get you higher intensity and also higher efficiency.

1400 posts read but obviously not completely understood. I'd like to know if this is a proper configuration:

4 each CXB3590 72V 3000K run by 1 each HLG-185H-C700A and 2 each CXB3590 72V 6500K run by 1 each HLG-120H-C1050A.

I'm pretty sure I saw this from the super Supra but I can't seem to find it again.

Thanks.

You are right on.

Can somebody please explain how to connect 220v to a meanwell driver? I have it hooked up to 110 now but would like to use my 220 connection. I have a C.A.P controller hardwired in for my old HPS lights. I ordered a couple of the 220v cords that normally power digital ballast. I wanna wire it to the driver.
On the driver there is a Green (ground) Blue (neutral) and Brown (load). It makes sense to me using 110v but dont 220V have 2 loads and one ground?
Does the 2 loads go to the brown AND blue wires?

This is the cord:

Now I am having the same problem with my watt readings as before and I've got a new HLG185H-C700B 4 72v cxb3590's reading 58 watts at wall. Could I have 36v by accident ? It's not adding up, all my connections are solid and all the lights work . Fustrating.

Look at a spec sheet for the 185H family As you will see, the brown is line for both 120 and 240 and the blue is neutral for 120 and line for 240. That said, if I understand your post, you can no longer use your C.A.P. controller since it's a 120 device. The cord in your picture is not relevant to any of this.

The controller is CAP MLC-4XT hard wired to 220v and uses a 110v plug in to trigger the relays. It powers my digital ballast with 220v. I want to take the 110 cord off my driver and use 220v instead. Here is my controller:
