    Multichip LED build questions

    So really running in series will protect the other bulbs if a failure occurs. So if we take the example above and wire them in series are we looking for a 100w driver with 24v at 2200ma?

    Multichip LED build questions

    Forgot to ask what you thought of these hybrid multichips I keep seeing. Do you think the half blue half white would blend or would there be a visible line if using these?

    Thank you so much for your help, I hope i am not asking to many questions. how does wiring in series compared to parallel change things when selecting a driver. I am looking at separate drivers for each 50w or I can find larger drivers that may work to fire all on one driver. It also looks...

    Multichip LED build questions

    Hmm.... I may end up doing something like the project you posted pics of rather than the 10w's. I would probably do 2x50w 6500-7500k on either end of the heatsink and supplement with 3w blues around each 50w. This is over mostly SPS. If I did 2x50w's spread on either end of the heatsink I...

    Multichip LED build questions

    This is all helpful so far. I may try to get some smaller 10-20w chips and a CPU power supply and see what I can do on a small scale first. I don't understand what I am looking for in a CPU power supply to run say 10-10w chips rated to 12v at 1000ma max? Thanks for all the input.

    Thanks for the replys! What color temp is that 100w chip? And what optics? You are not off topic at all.

    Multichip LED build questions

    Hello everybody I stumbled on this forum looking for some information on my possible large multichip led build so I decided to join. I do understand that the smaller chip leds have a quite a bit more LM/watt and I dont want this to become a multichip vs 3w debate. I currently am looking to...
