Max-Paul Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I want to know what is the difference between independent versus ? Floods. Here all along I thought an RGB flood, is a RGB flood. I must have missed something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m1ke05 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 As I don't have a firm grasp on RGB's, dumb or otherwise. Yet ( operative word being YET) I was looking for a simplified answer to how many RGB floods can operate independently of one another utilizing this board. Whilst attempting to avoid a lengthy and probably opinion biased discussion on how many TOTAL RGB floods can run given the design parameters of the CMB24D board. Ken, was kind enough to answer that "fer us simple minded folk" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Benedict Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I want to know what is the difference between independent versus ? Floods. Here all along I thought an RGB flood, is a RGB flood. I must have missed something. There was another thread that discussed running RGB floods in parallel from a CMB24D and it may have been confusing for some people. So eliminating a parallel or ganged configuration, it seems an independent RGB flood was needed for clarification. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLICK_JERRY Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 i was looking for boxes to enclose my boards in... have you all got some good suggestions where to get some appropriate plastic controller boxes for the cmb24dthanksslick_jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Laff Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I used cable guard CG-1500 box and a 12volt 350 watt power supply from DYI LED EXPRESS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not aware of the thread you speak of Ken and to see it used, kind of had me going WTHeck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackwolfK9 Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 Can you take 2 10W RGB floods and wire them in to the same terminals, ie: 2 floods on one rgb channel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithzone Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I have the same question (need) - I am running 340 watts and would like to put 16 10w LOR floods on one board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Can you take 2 10W RGB floods and wire them in to the same terminals, ie: 2 floods on one rgb channel. If you are using one of the LOR 12VDC power supplies ... 20Watts * 12 Volts = 1.66 Amps - The CMB24D would support that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I have the same question (need) - I am running 340 watts and would like to put 16 10w LOR floods on one board. 340 watt power supply? What voltage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackwolfK9 Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 I'm actually using a repurposed PC 350W Power supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I'm actually using a repurposed PC 350W Power supply. The output voltage of the power supply will matter. Take a look at this calculator. You'll note that you need at least two values (Watts, Amps, Volts, Resistance) in order to get a proper calculation. Thus 16, 10 watts floods would only be 160 watts. If you have a 12 volt power supply then you will only be pulling 13.3 amps total. Remember, though, that you have two sides of the board to supply power to.

smithzone Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 340 watt power supply? What voltage? 12V DCIt's actually a 360W when I look at it again - so pushing 30A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
