Setting current for mixed string

tgunn · 04/23/2012, 04:34 PM

I just got my 2x12 dimmable kit. The plan is to split it up over 2 tanks. So each driver would have a mix of royal blues and cool whites.

According to the specs:

Cree XP-E (Blue, Royal Blue, Green)
800mA-900mA

Cree XP-G (Neutral and Cool White)
1200-1300mA

So I trust if I mix LEDs on the same driver, all I really need to do is ensure the driver current is set in the 800-900mA range? Ie the lower of the two?

Thanks!
