Connecting the LEDs / Power Supply
Important: The module must be operated with a power supply that is matched to the used LEDs!
Important: Matched LED lamps, including power supplies are available from us. Also we supply complete kits, including
plug-n-play connectors.
Important: Improper power supplies can cause malfunctions, (unwonted) flickering effects, damage of LEDs or electronics
parts or - as worst case - overheating. We strongly recommend using high-quality (stabilised) switching power supplies!
Of course, one single power supply can be used for several Chromoflex RC modules in parallel (if the maximum output
power of the supply is regarded).
The minimum voltage for correct operation is 7 volts, maximum voltage is 26 volts (+ 5%).
Model „Chromoflex RC i350"
This model has 3 lines of 350mA each. The power supply must be matched to the number of used LEDs in series: most
high-power LEDs for 350mA constant current require around 3 - 3.7 volts (depending on the colour, type and manufacturer,
per LED about 1.4 watt power should be regarded). Normally green and blue need the highest voltages. The „i350" itself
need additionally at least about 3-4 volts higher to maintain line regulation. The maximum operating voltage is 26 volts (+
5%). The model „i350" uses highly efficient switching regulators to generate the 350mA.
Constant current LEDs must be connected in series. Depending on the number, we recommend as voltage for the power
supply (in case of doubt, please check the currents I
1 RGB-Group - (min. ca. 7.5 volt) - recommended 12 volt / 5 watt or higher power
2 RGB-Groups - (min. ca. 9 volt) - recommended 12 or 24 volt / 10 watt or higher power
3 RGB-Groups - (min. ca. 15 volt) - recommended 24 volt / 15 watt or higher power
4 RGB-Groups - (min. ca. 19 volt) - recommended 24 volt / 19 watt or higher power
5 RGB-Groups - (min. ca. 22 volt) - recommended 26 volt / 22 watt or higher power
6 RGB-Groups - (min. ca. 25 volt) - recommended 26 volt / 25 watt or higher power
