interesting, This is what Ive had problems with for weeks.
so, i guess they say 49 volts on the strip @.900ma ( i dont know the data sheets on this strip)
this driver is 48volts, but still, lets assume it was 48.
With this driver, it will run 20 strips 23 watts each, or 460 watts. ?? even tho its 10 amp driver, and just 48 volts?
So, in parallel, it just needs to see 48 volts PERIOD, even tho there are 20? So then, we just make sure the watts fits the bill? WOuldnt i still need 16 amps? .900ma x 20 = 16amps or what am i missing?
So, if one strip goes out, they all go out?
What if i used a boost converter to boost the volts, and be able to control amps?
what are the dangers?
Sorry for asking these, but Im looking to do this, but seriously confused with drivers. I figured, if its 23 watts, i need a driver that has 460 watts, + .20% = 552 watts. so need two drives for this set-up. But think boost converter fixes all that.
running in parallel makes it cheaper too, lol.
