that makes way more sense now.. you did get lucky with top, top bins
The reason your voltage is low doesn’t have anything to do with the bin of the LEDs. It is due to the fact that you’re pulling all the current from the driver and forcing it into constant current mode. The driver is designed to run this way so there’s no problem with it. Your set up was running as it should.
If you were to add more pucks to it, you would still be getting the same current out of the driver, but your voltage would go even lower. Also, if you remove six pucks, your current would still stay the same but your voltage would jump quite a bit. This is just how CV + CC drivers work. If you want a more in-depth explanation, check out this video I made on the topic. You can skip to 11 minutes and 44 seconds for the most relevant part.
