I'm about to order MW ELG driver and I'm not sure if I understand all the differences between A & B versions.
A version lacks the 3in1 dimmer that B version has but there are manual regulators on the unit.
Are these regulators on the main unit of A version regulating both output current and output voltage?
If the manual regulators are missing from the B version is it possible to regulate current and voltage output on the B version?
The 3in1 on the B version is only for dimming by voltage regulation?
How does dimming works with LED drivers? Voltage drop or current also?
Furthermore, if the current cannot be regulated on B version, does the B driver always output full current? Is the current then evenly distributed to the number of LEDs?
As example, I'm planning to use the ELG-240-36B version. If I understand correctly I can dimm the lights (V) with the 100K potentiometer, but i cannot adjust current A?
If I connect 5 COBs to this B driver, will each COB receive 1,335A (6,66/5) . If i connect 8 COBs, will each COB then get only 832mA (6,66/
or do i risk damaging the driver by overloading it? Is the current scalable to number of COBs or do i risk of overloading the driver if i connect more COBs?
All COBs get same voltage by current is divided by their number?
The COB's i plan to use are rated at 1170mA but span from 585-2340mA. Does this mean that i could connect 5 COBs and they will share the total current of the driver, and if i connect more COBs they will still work but at lower current and output, while fewer COBs will be "overpowered"?
Is A version more versatile than the B version? I cannot get the A/B version as they are not on stock at my supplier.
