Hi everyone,
Very new here, but could do with some advice. I am in the process of designing/building a LED aquarium light using 3W power LEDs.
I am using 6 cool White and 6 royal blue LEDs and running them from a 12 volt driver in a set of parallel series strings, as in the following schematic (apologies for the simplicity).
Could someone tell me if this is a sensible/safe way to wire these LEDs? As I see it the 12 volts will be split across all three components giving 4 volts each on each LEDs (which is in the middle of the suggested forward voltage). These are the LEDs I am using (see the cool whites and royal blues) - Grow light, Hydroponics items in LED store on eBay!
and the driver I have is like this:
LED Strip Light / LED Driver Power Supply Transformer AC 110 - 240V - DC 12V/24V | eBay
I think I have calculated this correctly, but I am not an electrician and would welcome some professional opinions before I wire it all up?
Many thanks to anyone who takes the time to reply.
