    thank you, I will use LM2577 for to do it

    I have another question,
    I think that the drawn current per ProfiLux channel isn't more than approx 30mA (10mA normal use),
    in my opinion it is possible to connect more devices in paralel to this profi Lx ports like control4 but, only for my understood, how much comsume this control4 device?

    My problem is I have attached several meanweel 60-48D (with 3.3mA each one) and I need to know the limits...

    So do you have to use a seperate 10v PSU for every driver?
    If I have 36 LED's and 3 Drivers would I also have to run 3 10 Volt PSU's?

    I don't believe so, but you will need 1 resistor per driver, I'll try this over the next few days and post results.

    some news?

    Do you maintain 2.2k as the best value for pullup?

    anymore experiencies?

    thanks in advance, this next weekend I will fight with two 6048P

    I havent had time to try a diferent resistor yet, schedule got kind of busy. Sorry bout that. Will try sometime this week.

    Ok! I had some time today after all so I started tinkering.

    So far the best results I have had are actually using a 1.5k E24 Resistor (Colour code Brown, green, red, gold).

    Previously with the 2.2k resistor I had to have Umin set to 3.5 V and it was preventing hte lightning from working correctly. Now with the 1.5k the lightning effects are GREAT and I get a much broader dim curve.

    This weekend I finish my project, two P meanweel connect to one channel in LEDControl4Passive with 24 Cree XPG (and another five D with another 120 leeds more in two L channels).
    Testing and testing finally I need to put one 670Ω resistor for correct dimming (stop work at 2v), 4.7K was too high and was at max power all dimming curve, even with 1K.

    thats the result

    I'm trying the same thing with no luck.

    Can you post a short diagram of how your wiring this to make it work and which components?

    I'm using the same driver with the LED Control 4 Passive and the ELN-60-48P.

    I'm using V+ and V- from the Meanwell to the LED string. The Dim+ go to Channel 2 (along with 9V+) on the LEDC4Passive. Dim- go to Channel 1 (along with 9V-) on LEDC4Passive. I get light, but I get no control via Profilux 2ex with newest firmware and software. (I can't manual dim up and down, nor turn it on or of. It stops if I power off, else it will stay on)

    Is this all due to 9V instead of 10V? Would not the use of a resistor (680 Ohm) reduce the V anyhow?
