Calling out to Weezard for LED advice
Dunno, I'll experiment. I've got a 60W 12V incandescent bulb I used to light a shed, powered by a rechargeable boat battery. When I hooked it up to check sag the Meanwell (I'm gonna write it like you and save keystrokes) stayed pretty tight.The 12V adjusts from 10.61V to 13.27V (exactly, every time, measured with a Fluke 87) and the 15V goes from 13.21V to 16.55V.
With a resistive load?
P.S. Haven't fried anything (else) yet. Following all precautions: wrist strap, no touchee stray leads that have been soldered to the emitters, power up / down while connected, etc.
Well, being extra cautious. Actually feel a bit more at ease thinking I understand what cooked the first batch of leds. :tin foil hat: Not looking forward to my credit card bill, but no choice...I had to retire the 400 HPS last night. Couldn't keep temps below 90. Stuck a 4 x 2' T5 HO in there meantime, but I know from experience that's not sufficient.Gettin a little gun shy?
Got it. Of course, the original plan was to run 2 blues in each light. Probably should have ordered a PLN 100-15 instead, coulda run all 4 with it. . Might need to get another 60-15 to do this right.Since you are not going to get more than 45W. into 3 blue leds, the PLN60-15 will be just peachy.
Rambling, need more coffee....Need advice wth plant problems?
