That is not to bad if mount your power supplies in a cabinet outside your tent

Good Day, Everyone I would like to find out what the difference is between the following 2 power supplies, i know the one has a better efficiency rating then the other one and a better warranty but double the price, is there a reason why you should use the one but not the other? Led Driver -...

Those 2 look great, i currently have 2 setups, 1 for veg, samsung LT-VB24F strips 2x3000k and 1x4000k on a LRS-48-350 when i up them to 48v they should push about 100w each so 300w for veg light, then i have 8 Vero 29 se 36v cobs on 8xcpu heatsinks active cooling, on 2xLRS-36-350s and pushing...

Yeah definately save some money on that, dont get me wrong on the long run the HLG are the way to go probably but on a budget LRS is it for me

Souns like something that can work yes

My problem was budget lol so i had to choose smaller light or the LRS

Hi, yes there is something you can add, i did not go for that option though, will add it maybe later on, but yeah im not expert lol, you can possibly ask some of the wise guys on carbonite that work with this stuff a lot one guy told me what i could add but that wouldnt work for me because my...

Thhat is correct yes,

Yeah that was what i was thinking aswell but then i thought rite id buy these to test and worked out good, i think only problem is when you thermal runaway then the item will pull all the amps it can get and nothing limiting it but that can happen when something fails in the component(light) you...

Yes, i tested them on a lower voltage aswell i think it was like 35.5v and the 4 veros where pulling like 3A if i remember right, i have a a 48v LRS350 aswell with 3 samsung led strips on them and they are also not pulling the full amperage

The driver does not push out its max because it has it to push out, it only gives out what is needed by the lights, and the lights only need 8.4A at 37.6v, if they needed more lets say 10A then the driver would give out its max

The usable amps should drop when the voltage goes up yes for sure, but for my 4 veros i only need 8.4amps about at 37.6v so that should be reachable, i did not test the amperage draw again but it was pulling around there on that voltage when i tested previously. Thanks

Thanks heat problem and smell is sorted, removed heatsink tape was burned and add thermal paste and sorted, pumped them up to 37.8v and no problem, heatsinks get hot when fans are off but when on they keep real nice and cool

So i found the problem it was the thermal tape between the heatsink and the cob that was burning, does not look like thermal tape can handle that kind of conduction to the heatsink, i removed them all and will apply thermal grease today

I just tested how much amps the 4 leds are drawing on 35.5v and they are only drawing 2.5amps that they need to draw on that voltage about 700ma each, when i bumped the voltage up to 37v they draw 5.8A which sounds right aswell on 37.6v they should draw around 8A from the driver, so i am not...

The problem is those ldds wont work for my setup if i want to run them at 2.1A so i would have to get totally different drives to do that, 2x480H drives possibly damn those are expensive, the vero 29 can take up to 4A each almost according to there sheet so should it be a problem? if i have 4 of...

Thanks, ok so basicly the 4 leds will get 2.3A each now? now matter the volts i put them on, so if i push the power supply up to 37v they should still get the same amps? But i know they can handle that amps so should it be a problem? The buck drive you are talking about can you send me a link...

But wouldnt the cobs only pull the power that it needs from the power supply, like if it needs 2A on 37v wouldnt it only draw that 2A? Thanks

The drives are not on the frame they are lying on a piece of wood away from the frame, not grounded no, would that be a problem?

Yeah you can adjust the voltage on the power supplies a little bit about a volt or 2 yes, i must still measure the amperage usage and workout the power draw.
