Meanwell ELN-60-48D what max output?

I have a strings of 12 LEDs mix of XPE and XPG on ELN-60-48D ballasts
I currently have them set at 800mA max but can't help thinking I should increase it .
What is the best setting for the best balance of performance/life of the LEDs

A lot of that will depend on what type of cooling you have for your LED’s. The #1 enemy of LEDs is heat; the longer they run at higher temps the shorter their life. As for the maximum setting you could run would be 1000mA (1A) as that is the max value for your XP-E’s can handle. The XP-Gs are good to 1500mA (1.5A).

Cheers
