Hey Riu,
Just noticed a problem with a recent build using 10 x Cree JB series Strips that i recently bought from cutter electronics,
i have these currently mounted to a large 1000mm x 600 mm x 25mm Aluminium sheet, with a ELG-240-48 running all the strips in parralel for around 500ma per strip, the driver is mounted to the back of the aluminium sheet and grounded with the ground wire directly to the frame.
i have just noticed when the timer goes out (and hours after they are supposed to be off), all of the leds stay very dimly lit, they can only really be seen when you look directly at the diodes, at first i thought it was some sort of reflection from somewhere making them look lit up, but upon further inspection the diodes are lighting up slightly.
i unplugged them completely from the power circuit, and checked them again and they were no longer lit.
has anyone experienced anything like this before?
Edit : it may be my wiring somehow leaking voltage, or the digital timer that is being used may not be grounded correctly.
