My CXB3950 Build

Hello everyone,

I just finished my first DIY LED build consisting of:

• 6x Cree CXB 3590 3500k 36V CD BIN
• 2x ELG-150-C1400A
• 6x Arctic Alpine 64Plus CPU cooler

The LEDs are wired in series, the fans are hooked to a six-way fan controller.

Here are some pictures of the bulding process and the finished setup:


Undimmed they draw 344W and the temperature at the cooler is ~50°C (122°F).
Dimmed they draw 110W and the temperature is ~29°C (82°F).

The 344W seems a bit high though, shouldn't they draw ~49W each?

Nice! What's the difference between elg and hlg drivers??

Looks great.
Elg might be giving 1.45A-1.5A just like HLG series.
Also add driver efficiency. So that's why 344 w most likely
How did you measure the 'temperature at the cooler'

The ELG are 220-250V input only.
Oh yes totally forgot about the driver efficiency.
I meassured the temp with an infrared thermomether at the side of the cooler.
