Matching Drivers and COBs

[Airwalker16]

thx for aswer. Do you know why is not recomendet? driver is still constant curent. Is there a possibility that I'd destroyed the COB?

Yes. Because if something happens to one cob, the others take on the rest of the load of electricity, therefore over powering the others, which would in turn, ruin them all.

In series, if one goes out, the circuit is broken and your cobs are safe

thas I understand. Please look on picture. is better like 1000 word.

They are my thoughts correct? Can be this connection save?

Why do you think,that should must destroyed other COBs in parallely wiring?current no run over maximaze specified current of every COB is dimmension ,but still only 1400mA or i thinking wrong?

Is there a driver tu run 5 cxb3590 at @70w?
Or what option I have for running 5 cxb on a single driver?

HLG-320H-C2100

HLG-320H-C2100

This would be like 65w?

Ya.. close enough . I haven't seen a 2.2amp driver.

Well I'm still in the planning mode... Idk what I am doing

Driver LED trafo 150W, 48-215V, 700mA.

Clu046-1212 35v*0,7mA = 24,5w. 6 cobs in serie will be 147w and 35vx6=210v

Would this setup work on this driver? Thanks again.

I think this will work as your pictures describe.
They are running low power and will be 4 to take load if one fails, so looks good to me.

Thx for answer. now I testing new connection. Works perfect.

Correction. 36x2.1=75 watts.

Is there a chart like surpas for citi cobs?

 

[REALSTYLES]

Is there a chart like surpas for citi cobs?

No and he thinks Vero is good right now because of matching drivers and holders that are hard to match with citi right now

Shit man are you ok?

I spent the last 3 hours searching for driver solutions myself. The hlg320 can run 6 which is a nice rig. 1212's for the price and being 36v is a good buy. Cobkits had the 1812's listed as 36v btw and they are 50v

 

[sixstring2112]

@JorgeGonzales thread would be the place to look for this info ,plus its cheap and cheerfull

 

[CobKits]

1818s are great as well. i dont see 50V as an issue and they fit the 250V rated ideal holders and the whole ledil suite

 

[PhotonFUD]

Or if you had a bunch of cheap ~50v ~35-50w drivers, you could just run 1212s in parallel as many as you wanted. Worst case scenario the last one would still be able to handle the full power of the driver.

Another benefit to under drive, safety.

So how many would you wanna put on it?
