Morning all.

 

I thought this was a really simple thing to do, but for some reason I have managed to fuck it up.

 

Any help or advice appreciated.

 

So, I have this driver and two of these boards:

I have wired up the source power by connecting the obvious colours together.  Blue to Blue, Brown to Pinky/brown and Yellow/green to Yellow/green (surely this is correct?).  The driver came from the states if that makes any difference (left of the photo).  The power lead to plug to the wall was purchased in Australia. (right side of photo).

I have then wired the two boards in series.  The positive output from the driver to the Positive terminal on the first board.  The Negative output from the driver to the Negative terminal on the second board.  I then ran a wire between the two boards (Positive to negative).

Yet, when i turn on the power, there is nothing? 

 

I actually purchased two of these setups and neither work when wired as described above.  No light, No noise, not even some smoke... lol

 

The only trouble shooting i have done so far is to remove the Wago connectors on the output and twist those wires directly... no difference.

 

Where have I messed this up?

I followed this video which suggested they should be wired in Series... (from the 16:15 mark). that is for HLG though...

I have just wired each board individually to the driver and they both fire up..

Yeah thats why I went back and checked the atreum site again mate my bad hopefully they fire up in parallel mate.

Here's a quote that may have an impact on why

 

"Mains voltage in Australia is 230V 50Hz. Travellers from most nations in Asia, Africa and Europe should have appliances that work on the same mains voltage as Australia - therefore you will not need a voltage converter. Notable exceptions to this are Japan, USA and Canada which uses 100/120V 50/60Hz."
