I am going to be building some machines to cure epoxy. I want to use the 3 watt UV led's that are available. I am going to put them into a cheap housing I found that already has a single 20w white led.
I really bought these just because of the case but it has a descent looking driver that says it's output is: DC 20-40V 600mA (20 watt) (it runs on 110 AC).
Now the LED's are 3w 3.4-3.8v 700mA, now I see that the driver is only 600mA but I think I am OK if the bulbs are not driven at 100%. I want to know how many I can run on this unit (if any). I did the math but not 100% sure I got it right. I think I can run from 6-11 in series.
Does that sound right?
If not can i use this driver or not and if yes what are the numbers I can use? Or will 600mA be way too low?
I can get a different driver but since the cases I am buying to use already come with the one listed I would like to use them if I can. If this works out I might be making a few dozen of these.
Thank you so much.
