Cree xhp 50 or 70 12v system for a boat

captforrest · Apr 30, 2016

Hi there guys I am trying to set up a light, already have a housing in mind, but am having trouble finding the driver I need to run the Cree xhp 50 or preferable the 70. The unit will have multiple LEDs but from the research I have done I think I will need a driver for each led? Any help would be awesome guys. I'm a boat captain and can get by with electronics but not the best so thanks for the help.

you need buck-boost drivers.a 12v system varies below and way above the vf of those leds.

For a boat, I guess, you need something more powerful than a flashlight. One of the threads here was about a decommissioned panzer light. Xenon 1Kw monster thrower. Your distances are way above the abilities of any carriable flashlight.

I am trying to make something like a light bar on a truck but just a custom size and more waterproof that is brighter. The 12v system will stay in the same range as a car would. Just need advice on driver and can I use one driver for multiple lights or will I need a driver for each led?

I am very new at the led world guys and could really use some help here in laymans terms.

Hi Captforrest, you may have better luck in the "modders" section. This led section/forum is more for..."How do I press the on button?" type questions, and is about the extent of our skill levels. Try asking here...
