G'day
I am about to begin building my light this weekend. The drivers will be located in one spot/case at the centre with each COB on an arm. Problem is this means that to wire them in series, the wires will need to run from the driver at the central location, down the arm to the cob, back up to the central location and back down to the next COB. There will be two COB's driven by each driver which will mean about 2m (6.6ft) of wiring per array. Do I just use the largest practical core wire to reduce voltage drop? Or can anyone point me to a resource to learn about calculating the appropriate wire size? Or am I over thinking this?
x2 CXB3590 72V driven by each HLG-120H-C1050. 75.6W each COB. I assume being on 240V mains shouldn't make a difference...
Cheers
