driver

What is the maximum number of LED Chips that I can put on this driver? I'm thinking of connecting all the chips that are on the same row in series such that the entire row of chips is in series. in some ways, each row will be Like a COB so each row is like one COB. And then wire all the rows in...

Simply put I want to use the Mean Well series HVG series drivers to power Fluence’s Spydr series fixtures (example: Mean Well HVGC-650W Driver with a Fluence Spydr 2P. Firstly, are they compatible? Secondly, can I pull it off with a pretty basic knowledge of LED/wiring and a soldering gun? I’m...

I am wanting to dyi my own 1 single bar that is 4' to 4.5' long. I do not want more than 4" wide. I would be happy with 150w-200w draw. Prefer b301 diodes. This is my 1st build so I am not sure where I can purchase all the parts needed to do this from scratch. I know I will need a heatdink and...

So I just got an HLG Scorpion Rspec 600w. I let my plants get a bit too tall for my tent. Well... more than a bit. My light needs to be like 12-15 inches above the canopy, but that puts my light pretty close to the top of the tent. So, my question is this: Will the light or the driver of an LED...

Share pics of your wiring/electrical area outside of your tent where your drivers, meters, wiring/splices, surge protectors, etc. are all setup. Any tips to save heartache, time, money or burning your house down? Beware of? Maybe if we get enough examples this can be a sticky or very useful...

So I have been dealing with heat issues in lower to upper 80s since I started using LED for the past year or so. finally yesterday I took the step of wiring an extra 15’ of cable and mounting my LED drivers outside the tents and into the next room. when I say wow what a difference it makes...

Hi everyone, im new to the grow setup. For the past weeks i have been gathering information on indoor growing and lights and finally selected the CXM 32 series 100W COB from Luminus. Im growing one plant for now so only going for 1 light due to budget constraint. I am thinking to go with the...

Does the MEAN WELL XLG-150-H-A would work for 3 cobs which are 90cri, 1800mA; 52V; 93,6W (vero 29 BXRC-35G10K0-B-7X)? It's the only driver that I found in my country and think that might works. I'm very confused about how to choose the correct driver. Does anyone have any study material? (I...

How long can I make the DC run from the driver to the LED boards' wago before I loose significant efficiency/run into problems? I'm thinking about remote mounting LRS mean well drivers for the next light. 20-40ft would work for me? At the maxed out end end my physics math says I can push...

I am purchasing 4x Qb132 and have a question about the driver. The manufacturer along with most discussions are powering them with some variation of HLG-240H-36 or HLG-240H-C1400. But this would mean 60watt per board instead of 75w for which they are rated. Why? Could I not purchase the...

Medical card + caretaker home grow planning, looking for criticism/advice about my plan: Looking to run LEDs, I decided on HLG panels without finishing researching other panels, strips, and COBs; picked panels because I need to order parts soon and they seem popular/functional. If you think...

Thank you in advance for your help and please excuse my lack of knowledge or if my terminology isn’t accurate. I am hoping someone can help me answer a question or two about running some Quantum boards using Meanwell drivers and I want to make sure I’m not overloading a 15 Amp circuit, as well...

Basicly im trying to figure out if i can use the DC - current from an array of solar panels to power a led driver. Normally a solar installation has batteries and an inverter to transform the power to AC. As led already runs on DC i wanna bypass batteries and inverter to power the driver...

I have a HLG-240h-C1750A (71V - 143V, 875 - 1750mA via internal pot) but now I would like a HLG-240H-C2100A: (59V - 119V, 1050 - 2100mA). The wattage is obviously the same, only the ratio V:C is different. My reasoning is that the PCBs might be the same of all the HLG-240H, and that just a...

So Im getting the last few details together on my 3x3 setup and was wondering peoples opinion on whether they'd leave the COBs bare, use the LEDIL reflector, or use the LEDIL reflector ? I know a lot of people lean towards the reflector, which works perfect for 6 COBs in a 3x3, however Im...

Hey guys, so Im looking to build my first DIY COB set up and I wondering if I should try and run 9 COBs or 6 COBs ? My plan was to run 9 to have 1 light every sq ft but Im having trouble finding a driver that would run all 9 COBs in series. Would I be better off doing 5 COBs on 1 driver, and 4...

Current ripple. On your drivers, when they are talking about the current ripple, is that a "+/-" figure? That the current could be +(θ)mA or -(θ)mA at any given time? Or that the current could be only+(θ)mA at given time or only -(θ)mA at a given time? Or is it the total range in which the...

So I have 2 areas, 12ft2 & 8ft2. I want to run em the cheapest way possible, while maintaining at least 160+ lm/w efficacy. Thinking... [8] Getian 2828 @37.5w ~170 lm/w [11] Getian 2828 @41.0w ~160 lm/w [1] 480h-36a To the point of the thread, has anyone used a relay, timer, resistor circuit...

Hello, I suspect my current potentiometer is a bit dodgy so I want to replace with a more expensive one - I currently have a 100K ohm pot, are there any other specs I need to check? thanks

Can someone help me pick out the right driver to do the following. -run 8 x qb 120s -dimmable -ability to top out at 70w per board I am a doofus when it comes to this, so thank you in advance!!!
