Max current when setup for low power

(1/2) > >>

zwiller:
I just noticed the manual states the max current per channel is 100ma when setup for CC/low power.  I think I got my led figures mixed up.  I am looking to go 300-350ma per channel.  Is there any way to achieve this? 

RJ:
Put the mosfets back in.

zwiller:
Thanks.  So, set it up for low power with appropriate resistor for 350ma but add the mosfets?

I should have provided more info.  Looking to power some 1W leds as strobes with the MR16 setup for constant current so I am concerned we're on the same page about adding the mosfets. 

RJ:
To get that kinda of current it will need to built with the mosfets in normal high current setup. It is not current controlled like this so it is up to you add a current limited of some type such as a resistor.

Thanks.  That's what I wondered/feared  ;D 

Seems odd that there aren't any higher current diy CCR controllers with the led prices being as low as they are.  I got some 1w watt white for a quarter shipped...
