can some one help me with the wire size for 600w setup?
i used 0.75mm wire but dont know if its ok
the driver rated for 11.2A and when i search 0.75mm wire its says 14A or 10A or 1880W
so what do you think guys? should i change to 1mm or 1.5mm?
 
1mm is better but you did good using the 0.75mm.

The 11.2 amps tells me you are building a parallel LED cob\panel\strip based system. The current to each LED depends on the number of cobs\panels\strips you are using. To know how much current each cob\panel\strip receives: divide total current from the LED driver by the number of cobs\panels\strips connected in parallel.

HLG recommends using 18-22 AWG or 1 sq. mm solid wire

Cree 3590 cob holders: use stranded 18-22 AWG (1 to 0.64mm) wire or 18-24 AWG (1 to 0.51mm) for solid wire
