meanwell

I wanted a way to control dimming on multiple MeanWell drivers without using optocouplers and resistors. I created this github page with all of the details to share for anyone else who's interested in doing the same. Feel free to post issues or discussions on the github page if you're interested...

Simply put I want to use the Mean Well series HVG series drivers to power Fluence’s Spydr series fixtures (example: Mean Well HVGC-650W Driver with a Fluence Spydr 2P. Firstly, are they compatible? Secondly, can I pull it off with a pretty basic knowledge of LED/wiring and a soldering gun? I’m...

Hiya all, I've gone the route of DIY and sourcing parts directly from distributors and over-seas manufacturers instead of purchasing pre-made kits as I found I would be saving myself a significant mount of money over the course of a few grows in comparison to purchasing something already made...

I want to built an LED grow light from scratch but I'm not sure what to look for when wiring in series and parallel on the same board. I want it to have different types of LEDs with different wavelength, like the Spider Farmer SF4000 or the SSK-272-RR-V2 for example, so I have to deal with...

Does the MEAN WELL XLG-150-H-A would work for 3 cobs which are 90cri, 1800mA; 52V; 93,6W (vero 29 BXRC-35G10K0-B-7X)? It's the only driver that I found in my country and think that might works. I'm very confused about how to choose the correct driver. Does anyone have any study material? (I...

So yeah, basically have been searching the site and I think I am getting to know what is what. Currently running a Mars Hydro 600 in a 2X2 and about 30 days from harvest. I like the Mars Hydro so far, haven't grown since the early 2000s so was running HPS before and had a lot of learning to do...

Hey guys I’m running 4 QB288 rspec boards and I bought the meanwell HLG-600-54A version. Just trying to make sure 54v is correct for the 4 boards. I don’t know how to calculate voltage and amps and all that, I’m not an electrician I can just build things lol. I incorrectly bought the 48V version...

Thank you in advance for your help and please excuse my lack of knowledge or if my terminology isn’t accurate. I am hoping someone can help me answer a question or two about running some Quantum boards using Meanwell drivers and I want to make sure I’m not overloading a 15 Amp circuit, as well...

If you need a 10K resistor across Dim- and Dim+ for 1 driver for “max off” , and 10K / (number_of_drivers), could you PWM 36 drivers with a 270ohm resistor, or is there a limit to the number of drivers with the Dim- and Dim+ to be run in parallel through an opto isolator?

Hi there I'm a new led luminarie and kit supply business in the UK. Im supplying hlg quantum boards hlg supplemental boards, meanwell drivers and lots of latest gen cob kit. And I was wondering how I would go about sponsoring your great site and then hopefully giving away 1 or 2 bits of...

I have a HLG-240h-C1750A (71V - 143V, 875 - 1750mA via internal pot) but now I would like a HLG-240H-C2100A: (59V - 119V, 1050 - 2100mA). The wattage is obviously the same, only the ratio V:C is different. My reasoning is that the PCBs might be the same of all the HLG-240H, and that just a...

Hello. I am planning to build a new grow room and I would appreciate some advice. I've done a fair amount of research but there are still some things I don't understand. Technical terms, maths and physics are fine by me. Grow space size = approx 13ft x 13ft (4m x 4m) but i don't need to use...

So I ordered a kit 250 watt 5 cree cxb 3590s and it came with a meanwell HLG240H-C1400B. Works great.... I ordered another what I thought was the same kit but the driver this time is a HLG320H-C1400B, same COBS and all... if I hook this up and it goes to full power will this push too much to my...

Hello, I suspect my current potentiometer is a bit dodgy so I want to replace with a more expensive one - I currently have a 100K ohm pot, are there any other specs I need to check? thanks

Got about 15 veros as flowering setup, Im planning to enhance it, I got two 3X3 tents which I would like to separate to two storeys, each storey would have 5veros running on hlg 320h 1750ma current or I was thinking buying bigger driver and run them at 2100 ma, no optics, just reflector, sog...

So about a year ago I build these lights, I'm now getting out of the industry and am liquidating my equippment. All of them work perfectly, I haven't posted in years. Hope all is well with you guys!! I will post pictures of all parts as I take my lights apart. $25 each for the chips (96...

Whats up my Led Brothers!!! Finally i got my first light togheter.....Got the aluminum L brackets for the frame, 4 Heatsinks, 4 CXM22's 90 CRI 3500K and a HLG 240H-48A Driver. I am completely new to the LED DIY lighting and need some help before i light this up! Before anything.....how do i...

Hey all, I plan on running 6 citi 1812 90 cri and last minute decided to add 2 citi 1212 90 cri to the mix for added spectrum from a 6500k led. My drivers are Mean well (2) HLG-240H-C1050's. If i was to run 3 1812's and 1 1212 off each driver would that be acceptable? Also how much would the...

Hi guys, First of all thanks to all the members for the wonderful forum, I've spent almost one day reading A TON of usefull stuff. Second, presentations. I really love your setups, I'm from Italy and we're having here a developing production of so-called Cannabis Light which is, in fact, weed...

So for The light I am building I would like to use a controller, which leads me into using the LDD Drivers so things are able to be controlled.. What I’m not understanding is 1) Say I chose an AC/DC power source that has an output of 36 Volts, and I want to control 5 different strings of LEDS...
