DoctaQ;
It's been awhile, but I finally had a chance to start working with my CREE xp-g R5's. Wow really nice. I noticed that CREE updated their spec sheet for the xp-g R5's and indicated that you can run them at 1.5 amps. The other thing I noticed is that I have 12 of them strung together on my Meanwell ELN-60-48D @1.5amps and that they are only using about 38.5 volts out of the 48 available. I might go ahead and add a couple more and have 14 instead of the 12. When I get the unit finished I will need to post some images. I converted an old Orbit Current USA 4x65watt unit. I am going to have 24-48 xp-g LED's in the housing. Should be nice and bright. Everything including the MW power supplies fits nicely within the Orbit housing. I am even going to reuse the 4 moon led's that came with the unit.
