When I look at a 50W constant current LED driver, it has the following specifications:
Input: 85-265VAC
Input: 0.5A
Output: DC 24-36V
Output: DC 1500mA
Ok, ignoring efficiencies, to power a 50W LED with 1.5A, the voltage should be about 33.33V (which is in the output voltage range).
To get 50W out of the driver, you need at least 50W in. Therefore, an 85V input should draw 0.59A and 265V should draw 0.19A.
Questions:
1. Why does the driver just say 0.5A? Is this a max?
2. At 85V, will the LED be under driven?
