Some numbers:
DX-refllector is 7.3cm (73mm) diameter.
With 1mm space inbetween, 15 reflectors add up to 1111 mm
That's a maximum width I can put on my Jeep without worrying about stickout.
As previously stated, using DIWDivers drivers I'll be able to run them in groups of three. = 5 driver boards. (Diw - say otherwise if not true)
15 LEDs.
Assuming 9A drive at 13V (well 13.8V but to be on the safe side let's say 13V)
1 LED = Vf 3.87V, If 9A
1 Group - 3.87V * 3 = 11.61V, 9A
5 groups = 9A * 5 = 45A
45A at 13V = 585W, round up to 600W
Cable length - roof to distribution center = 3 meters
Cable area - 3 meters, 600W, 13V, 0.0018 Ohm/mm2/meter = 16 mm2 (gauge 5 I believe)
Feel free to jump right in if you see that I've missed something or thinking wrong...
