diy 300W LED supply?

<< < (4/5) > >>

mikerj:
Ignoring the problems with isolation, power dissipation and excessive loop gain for the moment, an LED should be driven with a constant current rather than the constant voltage which this circuit provides.

rvalente:
Isolation was never a problem to lighting products. HID, fluorescent and even halogens were never isolated (except 12v halogen).

rvalente:
 You can replace the m2 mosfet with a fast diode, eliminating the sync rectifier and lowering the cost. I believe any 10A 500v mosfet will work here, very common and cheap

Isolation can definitely be a problem in lighting products if they are either not grounded or double insulated.  Commerical drivers for high power LEDs are most always isolated.

dmendesf:
Even when the datasheet says that the forward voltage is 37V it's not safe to drive a constant voltage over such a led. This is just an indication about the needed voltage range for your constant current supply. If you drive a constant 37V the device will get hot, so for the same voltage it will demand a higher current (as the temperature coefficient is negative) an will probably enter a thermal runaway until it burns.
