is it wise to run ep-e led's at 1000 ma

[KevinK]

ok, I want to build a algae turf scrubber, for what i need 6 red LED's and it will be lit at night. the red led's are according to mod. led at 1000ma max

now I also would like some moon light on my tank, lets say 6 cree xp-e

as far as I know, and I have them currently running on my main licht rack at 800 ma, but than i se that the max ma also is 1000ma

so now i'm wondering, could I run 6 red led's + 6 xp-e led's all at 1000 ma.

reason for this is becouse I have a 1000 ma meanwell driver, so I could run it directly,

otherwise i have to get new drivers


what is interesting is that rapid led tells that there red cree's have a max driving current of 700 ma



beside this, if I have to buy a other driver, would it be ok to drive less than 12 led's on a 35-700 driver, this as I need the 6 red once for the turf scrubber, but 6 blue once for moon light is maybe a bit much, and 3 would be better (to avoid to have the entire tank lit)
