frugalreefer01 · 11/06/2011, 01:23 PM

Hi i want to do a diy build , trying to save money
Just won 2 mean well eln 3048 d

Question-is this a decent driver?
Is it powerful enough ?
I read it had a max output of 630 ma,
Also i am looking to run mostly if not 100%
royal blue/actinic spectrum

Advice snyone?

I read these drivers can power up to 12 leds each,
So is that correct?
If so these drivers do 12 leds each at 630 ma max thats it?
(i won 2 drivers, i wana run 24 on my first diy fixture)

If these 3048s suck tell me before i pay!
I want them to power crees! Not b dim

Anyone?

60-48d or p are the standard w most cree set ups, can drive up to 14 in series, current is adjustable usually 700-1000ma max for most crees, dont know much about the ones you won, but 650ma isnt much.

frugal there is a LONG thread that has great detail about using DIY LEDs, Meanwell has had positive response from what I've seen and I'm hopeing to use them for a build after Christmas...
