Thanks! It think it might have been in your thread, but what I believe was discussed was leds just in parallel (like 3.7v ps with high amperage, and running 1 led in each string.) I'm not familiar with the meanwell, but I have taken E & M in college, but applying it to real life like this is just funky as it should be.
I'm curious to know what would stop you from running a parallel series on a meanwell. It might be something inherent in the design, but from my E&M knowledge, splitting the string should double the amount of current and halve the amount of voltage. Like I said, I'm not sure if there's something inherent in the meanwell that will prevent me from doing this, but I thought what I learned could be applied to any power supply.
Also, I probably won't be running more than 6 for this project, but I'd like to be able to use the same design, and maybe the same meanwell when I upgrade to 29 and 40B, which is why I'm trying to future-proof the design now.
Since I'm using a driver, wouldn't that prevent most fluctuations within each string, since current within a string is the same for all "resistors"? I'm trying to find out what instability is there when using a parallel (or parallel series) circuit
Thanks so much guys, sorry for the essay I wrote . I've found that with the delay of forums, it's not like iming, where it's best to get as much information out as possible
Thanks again
