Mean Well ELN -60-48D driver questions? ?
I purchased a Rapid Led solderless coralife biocube dimmable retrofit kit. I got it with 2 of the Mean Well ELN-60-48D drivers and the 3 color dimming kit. On one driver i plan on running 10 royal blue and 2 blue and on the other there will be 8 cool white, 2 uv, 1 red and one green. I know on the blue driver I can only set it to a max of 1000mA since that is the max of the blue leds and on the white driver I can only set it to a max of 700mA since that is the max of the red and UV leds. So my question is when these are first set up do I set them to their maxes (1000 & 700) and use the manual dimming controls to adjust the intensity or do I set them lower and slower work them up?? If I need to set them lower what would be a good starting point????

Set them up to max out at 1000mA and 700mA. Use the dimmer knobs to adjust intensity down from there. The dimmer knob does the same thing as the internal pot and reduces drive current to the LEDs on those drivers. The interanal pot just limits the maximum current.
