    Driver confusion

    Hey thank you sorry was confusing my self when you were asking about the wattage. i believe i MIGHT be VERY slowly grasping it lol.... you are asking the amount of miliamps i will be powering it with? The chips have a max current of 700ma which leans me to want to run them at around 500ma. The...

    Driver confusion

    Still somewhat confused sorry if im being a pain here but to clarify is it when wired in series the driver output needs to be greater then (in this case) 25.3 v so i could use something like ameanwell hlg-185h-36a driver to power 6 of the cobs in series? Or can i do more ? Or less? ...Orrr...

Regarding space ideally if...

    Driver confusion

    If i understand correctly take voltage x amount of leds so in this situation 25.3v x 24cobs = 607.2 total volts so the driver has to have an out put 608v or greater? Or run multiple drivers say 3 drivers 8 cobs each ?
