Chilled drivers

Hi, looking for some driver help please. Could anyone help with suggestions for a dimmable Driver to run 2 x Chilled 90w boards. Ideally, for simplicity & cost I’d like to run both off one driver. The driver does not need to be remotely dimmable.


Apart from a single point of failure, why wouldn’t I want to run both of one driver? I assume that I can use simple connector blocks to connect both the boards to the driver.


Looking on the Chilled site, it suggests a 200W driver @1050ma per 2 90w PCB’s or 150w driver@700ma per 2 x 90w PCB’s.


Trying to get my head round which would be better option. Any help appreciated.


Finally is the only way to calculate how to set the driver power using an electronic plug in meter and how do you know the right power to be running at? Not too fussed about saving the odd cent, and have approx. 6ft space so intend to run the lights pretty high.


Thanks :)

I'd watched that video previously but tbh found it too complicated in terms of splitting light channels. At this time with two boards I really just want to keep it simple and low cost.

I'm flowering with the boards so can't see any reason to be able to control different channels etc.

1050mA will be the best choice for two 90w boards that is what I am doing dimmable b model

This is three 90w chilled boards. Two are running with HLG-185H-C1050B driver and one is running with aHLG-120H-C1050B driver. Two boards connected in series with four channels in series and second board with four channels in series for 270w at the wall dimmed to 50% for pics
