Driver for LED PCB

[CHBowman]

Hi,

I’m building a series circuit of four 500mA LEDs. I will be using a 25 Watt 500mA constant current driver. The question I have: is the amount of total watts used for the circuit calculated as the (Forward Voltage of each LED * # of LEDS) * (500mA)? If so the the total circuit will be 14W. Will 25W be too much for the circuit or will the constant current driver self adjust in this situation?

This is my shopping list:

4 series MCPCB

HYF38P40F290AG-S1 500 mA @ 5-7V

Leds in series :  min voltage = number of leds  x forward voltage of each led, current remains the same

leds in parallel : min voltage = forward voltage of one led,  current = number of leds x current of single led

Yeah the meanwell led driver in theory will work, it can do 15v..50v , so 4 leds in series at 5..7v would be 20-28v and that works out well.
