Using a 600W boost converter (with constant current control) to drive a 50W high power LED from a 12V battery. A wireless remote control unit completes the setup. Now I just have to wait until dark!

Please list links to parts Thanks
Julian, what happens when we upgrade the output capacitors to higher capacitance or higher voltage?
Nice tutorial, where can I find the wireless switch you are using? Did a search on the net didnt found nothing suitable.

+Julian Ilett… Let's say I've a 12V – 40ah battery and one of these LED's (i.e. 50W) lightened up using a boost converter (boost converter might be helping me loose a bit of a current/ power), then how long/ for how many hours will it brighten the LED?
Just want to make DIY something….
I am using the same driver to drive a Nichia NC4W LED. The LED is rated at 13.6V at 1amp. I am using a 2 18650 cells in series as my input power supply, so the the input voltage is 8.4V. I set the output voltage to 13.6V. The LED flickers a lot though, it seems that the driver can't keep constant current/voltage across the LED. Any idea why?
If we have an input of 15V and 5Amp and set the output voltage as 12V .What will be the output current
Can I drive four 50W LED's with a 200W constant current control unit? …or does each 50W LED module require its own driver?
Julian so can you use the boost converter to charge a battery from solar power to cut the charge time down or speed up how fast the battery can charge up
hi could I use this type of adapter to run off my solar panel as at present conditions its not keeping my battery topped up. I was thinking to boost the lower output at present to charge my battery. I have a 20w 12v solar panel that charges my caravan battery whilst its not in use, my alarm/GPS tracker has a small drain but with the cloudy conditions over the last few weeks its drained the battery. I was thinking of boosting the lower voltage thought the solar panel battery charging unit. many thanks for your videos
I want to ask: If the Multimeter is the The Ryobi Tek 4 ? if yes where did you got it i can´t find anything about it. i want it also the other Tek 4 Products that im not allowed to see.
i have two type dc/dc converter 150w and dc/dc converter 600w. can the dc/dc converter 150w/600w step up the voltage from car battery? i mean, can the input from the car battery burn or damage the dc/dc converter 150w and 600w? car battery (12V, 40AH)
This is almost exactly what I was trying to find out. Very cool!
A question. That little LED meter, what is it? A voltimeter?
how many ah battery can the boost converter handle would a battery over 15 amp hour rating break the converter since the converter is rated at 10 amps
