The Mean Well HLG line is the undisputed king of drivers in the DIY LED grow light world. The goal for this series of videos is to provide a complete breakdown of everything you need to know about them, whether you’re totally new to DIY LED, or a seasoned vet. We’ll be covering:
- Constant current vs. constant voltage and the pros and cons of each
- Series and parallel wiring, and when you might need to use each type
- A-type vs. B-type drivers and some considerations you’ll need to make when picking between them
- Dimming single and multiple drivers
- Reading the data sheets and applying the important specifications
- Matching any LED to a CC and CV driver
Part 1 of this series provides an overview on the different types of drivers within the HLG line and focuses on constant current models and series wiring.
Anyway to get dimming less than 50% with A series driver? I got mixed up and bought the A instead of B series before finding your site. Is it possible for a second dimmer or how I can integrate wifi control to bring down intensity for seedlings?. Thank you for your wealth of knowledge in this site for DIY community!
There’s no real easy way to do it, unfortunately.
