I need help determining the number of LED's allowed based on LED and driver specs.
My power supply has a output voltage of 210V and constant current of 700mA.
I plan to operate my LED's at 700ma. The LED's I'm using have a "typical voltage" of 3V, with a maximum of 3.5V and tolerance of +/- .06.
Does 210V / 3V the number of LED's to use is 70?
Or, do I need to calculate using the max. 3.5V + .06 tolerance and therefore would be 210V / 3.56V means 58 LED's?
What is the appropriate method to determine the maximum quantity of LED's allowed for a power supply?
Thanks
