Driver info I was wanting to know up to what watts of LEDs can I run with this type of driver. Example: A 20 watt single cob or like 4-5watt LEDs ?

Thank you so much. If I wanted to put 5w LEDs to the driver I have, roughly how many 5w LEDs would I be able to power

Depends on the LED and its voltage. Since this driver can't do less than 60V, you must start with figuring out how many led you need in series just to hit that voltage. What 5W led are you referring to?

Idk right now. Just had an old led fixture burnt out on me and I have 4 of those drivers to work with on a diy led light. I'm so used to just used to using Meanwell drivers in which I usually most times figure everything out. But for some reason trying to do calculate with these drivers my brains no functioning to do the calculations on them. I'm disabled and a portion of it is retaining to memory and though process. Thank everyone again all info has really been helpful. Right now I don't know the actual diodes or cob chip I'm going to use. But when I try to put the diy led all together I will definitely refer back to this conversation and be asking more questions

U would do well to look into acquiring some high efficacy strips. Find a strip with diodes that run at about half an Amp. Add up the voltage to get in your range. 4 50 watt strips would bang a 2x2 easy seed to harvest !!!
