Hello,
I recently purchased the following "Super Output SSC P7" LED Driver board from Kaidomain, along with a CREE XM-L2 LED star.
unfortunately, when I wired the LED Driver board up to the LED and my 8.5V power supply (made of one 32650 3.75V LiPo battery, one D-Cell Alkaline, and one 3V watch battery), I encountered a strange problem. The LED turns on, but it seems to remain "stuck" in Low Power mode. (I measured the current with a multimeter, and it seems to only output ~.2 amps which corresponds to low power mode.) Not only does the LED remain stuck in Low-power mode, but it begins the following blinking routine:
(ON for three seconds) - (blinks OFF twice) - (ON for three seconds) - (blinks OFF once)... Repeat
I can't make heads or tails of it, and I couldn't come up with anything after scouring this forum and other websites. The only explanation I can come up with is that the driver is engaging in the advertised "overheated" mode, but I believe that the blinking routine displayed in "overheated" mode is different than the one I'm seeing, and there's no way my driver could have overheated as it entered the blinking low power mode immediatek
does anybody have any idea why this may be happening? Do I have a faulty board? Am I doing something wrong?
Cheers
