    Constant Current Power needed... I'm confused...

    Well, I guess I'll move ahead with this plan. I hearing its a big project, and has some juice running through it. I will take care. Many thanks for the help gentlemen. I will post with my result/further questions. T

    Constant Current Power needed... I'm confused...

    Okay, if I have it right, and this is an okay and safe design that I can run these bulbs a bit lower than rated... what is the procedure on fabricating and testing it? I fear doing one wrong move and blow everything up in a nanosecond. its a fair bit of labor in soldering alone...

    I would much rather you wire that electrically that as two strings of 4 in parallel (which could still be physically arranged as one string). 12 strings of 8 would become 24 strings of 4. To run them near full power, but not quite, let's say 250 mA per string. That adds up to 6A. Okay, whoops...

    I think I found one!!! A little spendy, but it looks right. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XFJB28D/?tag=cpf0b6-20 MEAN WELL HLG-320H-48A constant voltage and constant current LED power supply Full range AC input: 90~305Vac Operating case temperature: -40~+90°C UL8750 type HL LED power supply...

    What would I search for when seeking the unit? this looks close: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005T6K78K/?tag=cpf0b6-20

    [INDENT] Okay, let me think about what you said now.

    Constant Current Power needed... I'm confused...

    So if I run 3 in parallel and get 36vdc, then run a bunch of those in series, perhaps 5 times, I would get 1.4 amps... is that your thinking? (my apologies if my nomenclature is improper. I was kinda hoping for the cleanest strand of 8 leds I can do... (this is an art project using these as...

    okay, let me look this over

    Constant Current Power needed... I'm confused...

    I feel like I would like to have it be a bit smaller, like perhaps having a few power supplies run sections. If I can pull it off without resisters that would be great. I really appreciate your write up. for the most part, I can follow it. Tell me, if I used the 20-24Vdc power supply linked...

    feel no need to utilize the power supply I linked... as I haven't purchased it.

    Constant Current Power needed... I'm confused...

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/311651957952 my apologies Indoors. The mounting is all figured out with heat sinks. 100 led's total.... in strands of 8 led's. I found this driver that looks like an interesting option to run two of my rows with...

    Now I'm mostly talking to myself... What if I used this power supply https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MSBK9GV/?tag=cpf0b6-20 and wired up 8 lights in parallel and put the whole thing on a LED dimmer? Seems expensive, $30 times 12... and the cost of a dimmer that size. But I gotta get this done.

    Constant Current Power needed... I'm confused...

    Okay. I'm still a bit overwhelmed. Heres the deal. I want to run these 3 watts lights a tad bit less than rated to keep them cool. Numerous strands are needed of 8 bulbs (or 16). I want them very safe. how do I do that? I am finding a bunch of 300ms constant current drivers. Is that too much...

    Constant Current Power needed... I'm confused...

    This seems to be as close as I can find... (I barely know what I am doing...) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071CJ6M4Q/?tag=cpf0b6-20 for a eight lights strung in series. But its 300ma and likely running it at less than 2.5 watts. or this is close too...
