Interesting. What voltage do these boards run at?

Cool!

We need specs

I don't know why but there seems to be an issue. It's only drawing 223 watts from the wall


It's also reading 119 volts and 1.9 amps. I have the driver turned up to max current. Do you think it's a problem with the junction connector?

Any ideas?

Is it supposed to be wired series-parallel like you have it, or does it need to be all series like the 550?

That’s why I was curious about voltage.

The discription on the invoice from the manufacturer says "52-130w, 48v, 1080-2700mA".

Series-parallel? I thought there was only series or parellel, i didnt know about series-parallel lol.Can you explain? I just went off of the image of the HLG 550. I'm guessing I messed up somewhere

I think I got it. I connected positive and negative on both sides of the junction. I'm guessing I'm suppose to connect positive/negative from the driver, positive/ground on one side and negative/ground on the other side to make a complete series circuit?

YUP that's it! I switched the positive on one side to the ground and the negative on the other side to the ground and BOOM 450 watts! Okay so its a "Alibaba 450" but hey I'll take it!

Which supplier did you get this one from?

You’ve got it. The third pin in the tee connector is used to make a series connection.
