Question about power supply.


Recommended Posts

Was thinking of purchasing the item in the link posted below. I have a few questions for any one experienced with EE.

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

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?

 

Regards,

Matthew

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.

You can always use a step up ;)
