can I power 30x 3w leds on this 100w Driver

I was looking to see if this driver would work. I want to run 30 3w LED's at 3.6v each

Its a 100w LED dimmable driver.


Technical Parameters:

Quantity: 1pc


Model: LED-L100W


Driver Type: Dimmable


Protection Rank: IP67


Input Voltage:AC100~240VAC 50Hz~60Hz


Output VoltageC30V-36V


Current: 0~3A


Efficiency:85%


TC:75 degree (MAX)


TA: 50 degree (MAX)


Question is can I run 3 parallel stings of 10 3w LED's in series. I'm tring to remember my math and not sure if I have that figured out right. If so could this driver also be pushed to run more then 30 LED's
