Greetings to Piclist community,

i'm new to power-led design area. I have to design a led strip with 6 white
power led. I chose Luxeon
III Emitter White leds for my application. I have prepared the pcb and
proper heatsink for my design.
The strip will be sourced with 24V DC Meanwell smps. (this smps has max 10A
drive capability) So i
calculated required resistor value for driving the strip at 1A which is
24-6Vf = R (The datasheet of
Lux III Emtter notes that it has 3.90 forward voltage at 1A) So i have
chosen the Resistor value
0,75R / 5W. But when i conntected the serie to the power supply i only get
500mA and the value
increased slowly to the 650mA and after that no increasing in current.

I looked the luxeon datasheets and application notes over and over but still
i havent found where is
the problem? Do i need to design a specific smps with different topologies
or else?
(Datasheets and application notes can easily found on www.luxeon.com)
