mtlevine0 14 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Was thinking of purchasing the item in the link posted below. I have a few questions for any one experienced with EE. http://www.sureelectronics.net/goods.php?id=1261 First, are the power supplies included in the bundle adequate to run the LED at its full potential? Second, what kind of power supply would you suggest to power the constant current drivers? (ideally just one that could provide power to all three LED drivers) Thanks, Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Second, what kind of power supply would you suggest to power the constant current drivers? (ideally just one that could provide power to all three LED drivers) Thanks, Matt Hi Matt, It appears that it would run the RBG LED at full power. As the current drivers will produce around 330 to 316mA of current, and the LEDs forward current is around ~350mA per color channel. Make sure to also have a fan connected to that heatsink (Or even a peliter cooler! ) If it's alright to ask, Is this going to be a stationary project or a portable project?

mtlevine0 14 Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 Yeah I plan to have a PC fan connected to the heat sink, might spend a few more dollars for a bigger one just to be safe. I plan on just using it as a stationary light for a smallish room. Not sure at the moment what I will use as a power supply. A PC ATX supply would be convenient as I have old ones laying around but its not going to produce the voltage I need. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
