LED and driver questions


MELEON

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, been lurking here for a while now.

I set a 12 gallon nanocube about 6 months ago. Love it. But I’m planning to upgrade to a 24 gallon nanocube soon. In preparation I ordered stuff to make an LED light for it.

 

I recently purchased LEDS, meanwwell ldd drivers and 250w 48v 5.2a power supply

Specifically I bought 3 - meanwell 1000ldd’s

3 - meanwell 700ldd’s

1 - meanwell 500ldd

6 - cree xt-e 3up (2rb-1nw)

2 - 3up exotic hyper violet

2 – ocean coral white (which if I read correctly is a 3up star)

2 - cree xp-e2 blu

1 - 250w 48v 5.2a power supply

 

I plan to run these with a coralux storm controller with which I also have a temperature probe and a fan kit. (I’m prepared to lose the fan kit if I can get better results running more individual strings) I think using the fan kit reduces the number of controllable strings from 6 to 4 (correct me if I am wrong)

Now to questions:

what is the best way to break these into strings? (using 5 strings or less)

which drivers do I need for each string?

Will I need resistors or anything else?

Do I have to make adjustments to the power supply?

 

Thanks everyone, I thought I had my ducks in a row when I ordered this stuff but now I’m having doubts.

Jamie
