The problem with that is you need to raise the voltage to have enough power for each strip to run. 6 24V strips is series would need 144V to have enough voltage to run each strip, unless LED's operate differently than a normal series circuit. I am no expert on them.
Thats the way it works, yes you would need a higher voltage driver.
I guess I haven't forgotten everything...lol.
6.7 amps, .6 amps a strip @ 50% 11 @ 600mA or 6 at like 1.12 amps with heat sink I’m guessing. 12 strips @ 550mA, think 550mA is what mine ended up at.
Ya I was think I would do the 12 for better spread and run them at lower wattage if I’m looking at this correctly
Is the test current listed for the strips a maximum value?
No it’s nominal/tested voltage, I know from what the guys said they have a max of 1.8 amps but would require beefy cooling.
I asked the question before, searched around, never did find the info I wanted on what the difference between a ac/dc converter like you mentioned and a led driver. Efficiency is the thing I notice in the data sheets, most have I/o v adustments. You would be running the strips a bit over 1000mA each which is only 140mA from nominal, I have no clue for sure but from what I understand, they will prob run warm and require some above basic cooling. Mine run high 30s on 1/8” bar @640 mA.
Which ones do you have? I could use some.
Any left?
