Double up on boards

**MrC** · 02-01-20, 06:57 PM

Evenin all, I've got an IS ish150 pro, was thinking about getting another board so it doubled up, does it work like that? Or would I need a whole new kit with another driver? I've seen them connected by a wire or 2 then hung in a line. The driver is Meanwell C2100A Driver, board pulls 140 actual watts.

Ok mate, thanks. Clumsily took these snaps of the driver, I will state electrics is not my thing

Took this info off the is site for the board they use on ish150

The ISH288 Pro is powered by Samsung LM301H chipset

300mm x 170mm x 1.5mm

Specifications

288 Pcs Samsung LM301H CRI80 Diodes

300V 9A rated Connectors
Dimensions 170mm x 300m

49V
Max current 3000mA
Max watts 149w @3000mA

M3 mounting holes

Each board is rated at 149w on its max current of 3000mA

Will require an Aluminium plate or Heat sink if running 60+watts.

Coverage

Each ISH288 can cover up to 5 square feet

Lamp Efficacy

2.61 umols/J with Samsung LM301H cri80

Not sure if that holds any answers, thanks again.

Hi can you check my last post that I just wrote .. it has a led driver and cob with heatsink. Don't k ow if you could help me anyway.... sorry to jump in on your convo.. OP I'm in same boat as you, I don't have a clue about all these qb. I got a 240w 3000k 660nm kingbrite quantum board. It's the nuts for my little space

The ELG 150 doesnt have the necessary vdc output for 2 boards buddy. Youd want to run a HLG 240 2100A or similar or get another 150 driver for the extra board. Is that separately earthed at all as the elg drivers dont normally come with earth wiring?

Cheers man, was just an idea, may be too much to getting a 2nd light anyway, but its got a blue wire goin in one side of the board then a brown one which I understand means live? goin to the opposite side, they then go bk to wagos I think they are, one for each colour then go bk in to the driver.

I dont supply elg drivers unless with box dimmer as they need to be separately earthed to the chasis to be properly safe. Box dimmer assembly allows for this. I'd recommend earthing it buddy. Or getting a hlg 240 2100a driver and another board and sink.

At least it has earth input not all elg drivers do and is only 54vdc out but itd be better to separately earth the heatsink or mount the driver to it for safety.
