Can someone check me here.
I am looking to use a CC5W from TaskLED.
I am looking to run 2x P7.
The CC5W is able to provide 1000ma.
If I am correct I can wire the P7 in 2S2P configuration.
If I am correct I can wire the P7 in 2x 2S2P to the CC5W.
I am expecting to run the 2xP7 from 12V, really the input power is 14.2V-12.6V.
The 2x 2S2P configuration means that I divide the 1000ma between 4 strings of 2 cores really and that means I am dividing the 1000/4= 250ma to each string of 2 cores.
If they are running the cores at less then max the heat should be less.
So this means that I am running the P7s at less then spec but still pretty bright.
I only have to have 1 driver.
Is my thinking correct here?
Is this going to be cost effective to do it this way?
Any ideas if I should just run the same thing as 8x P4s in the same sort of configuration and it will come out cheaper? I have not yet done the pricing out of the 2xP7 VS 8x P4.
I am going to have 5x these light module sets to hopefully light up a room. To maybe provide enough light as 2x 22W CPF bulbs?
