Hey all I'm looking for a little bit of help with my DIY grow light. I plan on using chip on board leds but my main problem is matching the leds to a driver. Can someone please explain things to me in the simplest way possible?
My plan was to have 2 x Cob1 and 3 x Cob2 to per driver as the wattage matched perfectly. I'm not sure about the mA though (not sure workout what mA I need), I'm also unsure if the DC voltage will work but the only drivers with the DC voltage range I need have 2 to 3 times more wattage then I need. PLEASE HELP A SIMPLE MAN WITH A SIMPLE MIND.. and yes before you all take shots at me I know I'm in over my head, I know there are plent of DIY lights out there and I have tried doing research but it's never really put into layman's terms.
Driver;
Input: AC 85~265V;
Output: DC 20~32V
600mA
Cob1;
DC 9~11V
300mA
Cob2;
DC 23~25V
300mA
