    Just Bought Some Rspec's... How to Decipher a Mean Well Spec Sheet?

    Ordered the 320's yesterday and picking up a couple of DROK's that was suggested from another thread. Assuming everything will get here in a couple of days, I hope to be up and running this weekend.

    Multimeter Suggestions and How Do I Measure?

    Neat setup. I'm not really concerned with what I'm pulling from the wall. I'll have two A type drivers and 8 boards and I am looking to monitor what is going to the boards and to be able to balance between the two drivers.

    Multimeter Suggestions and How Do I Measure?

    Thanks for pointing that out. I'm doing parallel so only need about 50v. The granularity on the amperage side is more of a concern for me and since that has two decimal places it should be fine. Pulled the trigger on a couple of them. Drivers are on the way as well so I hope to be live this...

    Multimeter Suggestions and How Do I Measure?

    Ok so will this work? Only one review. Any suggestions on a better model or is that it? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FYHTBD2/?coliid=I1EJFGJ00YX0XK&colid=2GQ914KZRGB5G&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

    Just Bought Some Rspec's... How to Decipher a Mean Well Spec Sheet?

    That never even occurred to me! I have solid 18AGW NTE wire ( what HLG links to on the guide page ) and didn't realize I can do multiples in a single hole. That works perfectly for a 5 port. Boards doubled up in 2 ports, 1 from the driver and the other two free to use two multi meters. Thank...

    Multimeter Suggestions and How Do I Measure?

    Ok that looks awesome. A few questions... Is it accurate and granular? So I don't get the battery diagram. I have to have an external battery that I wire to it? There isn't a battery compartment and I just stick one in? It shows the load being downstream so I would come out of the driver, into...

    Multimeter Suggestions and How Do I Measure?

    Ok I'm confused by that. My experience with this so far is watching videos so.... I recall a LEDGardener one where he is talking about dialing in an A type driver in a parallel circuit. I'd like to be able to measure both at the same time. The A type driver has two adjustments correct? One for...

    Just Bought Some Rspec's... How to Decipher a Mean Well Spec Sheet?

    No I didn't. I literally was hovering over submit and just for the hell of it googled the difference between HLG and ELG drivers before clicking. Got a hit here and on LEDGardener talking about the 75% so assumed it was real. So two questions for you and I appreciate your help so far. I have all...

    Just Bought Some Rspec's... How to Decipher a Mean Well Spec Sheet?

    So the ELG's only run at 75% power on a 110v connection. So no the ELG-240 WILL NOT work.

    Multimeter Suggestions and How Do I Measure?

    Thanks for the suggestions on the meters but I still don't know hot to properly measure. Should I chain Wago's together as I had originally asked? A 5 port is filled with the 4 boards and the driver.

    Multimeter Suggestions and How Do I Measure?

    ^ Really? I can only find the 5's! 7 port would be ideal! Am I correct in wanting to plug the multimeter into the wago for my readings? BTW, you had responded on my CREE build post. Talked me into Samsung. Bought 8 Rspec QB boards.

    Multimeter Suggestions and How Do I Measure?

    Would like a suggestion on a pair of multimeters and also the best way to wire / take measurements. I'll be wiring 4 QB boards in parallel off of one driver. I plan to use the 5 port Wago's ( there is nothing larger right? ) and wire each board back to the Wago and then the 5th connection being...

    Just Bought Some Rspec's... How to Decipher a Mean Well Spec Sheet?

    According to the email response I got the Rspec is .5v higher than the V2. OK I'm sold on doing all 4 at 1400. The ELG-240-48A makes sense. I don't have a way to measure my output so considering they will *just* run 4 boards at 1400 mA I like that I'll pretty much know what they are at. If I...

    Just Bought Some Rspec's... How to Decipher a Mean Well Spec Sheet?

    Wow... had a box sitting outside my door today. Thought it was an Amazon order and much to my surprise it is my HLG stuff. I'm impressed. I ordered a little after 7 PM Eastern on Tuesday and two days later I had all my stuff. Hopefully I can add two photos.... I have laid out the heat sinks...

    Just Bought Some Rspec's... How to Decipher a Mean Well Spec Sheet?

    Ok so if I should be aiming for 500 watts, I think I have two options. The first option is 8 boards @ 1400 for a total of 534 watts. There are no numbers for 1750 but I bet it is near 85 watts. I'm going with 84.7. The second option would be 6 boards @ 1750 for about 508 watts. As I see it...

    Just Bought Some Rspec's... How to Decipher a Mean Well Spec Sheet?

    I finally understand this! I get both types of drivers and can read the specs now. So the last question is in regards to controlling the amperage. Is it just a potentiometer that I'm manipulating beneath the dust cover? If so, it is slotted in some way or marked for different amperage settings...

    Just Bought Some Rspec's... How to Decipher a Mean Well Spec Sheet?

    Thank you. I really appreciate your response. I'm sure people come in here all the time asking basic level questions like that so thank you for taking the time to explain it. I think I get it but still have a couple of questions. So using this as an example ...

    Smell outside your house

    Thank you! I can now post links :). Sorry for not having answered but it sounds like you answered your question via google. Yes corona discharge is a type. I've tried to look for where I got it but I can't find it. It was nothing fancy. Mine was basically a silver aluminum box with a small...

    Smell outside your house

    Humidity? Trying to wrap my head around why vented air would cause that.Not something I'd have ever considered.

    Just Bought Some Rspec's... How to Decipher a Mean Well Spec Sheet?

    That is exactly the way I intend to orient them. I'm basically using 30" x 60" wire shelving and putting them "long way" would seem to give great coverage. I will eventually have other enclosures like this one. This is a test run on a home made RDWC system I'm working on. Never done DWC so we'll...
