6063 has better corrosion resistance than 6061. Its surface finish is also smoother than 6061.
I've been searching for aluminum U channel which is 1" wide with 2" legs, and the only one I can find is made out of an aluminum alloy of 6063. Does anyone know if the fact that it is an alloy will noticeably decrease its ability to function as a heat sink?
Here's the product page: http://www.amazon.com/Aluminum-6063...4?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1296084093&sr=1-24
Thx grim- I think I can do a step better on the price for 2x1x1/8" thick- On amazon I can get 2 36" sections (=~18 4" sections) of it for $36 shipped.
I'm not sure I understand your actual set up here.. Your description eludes me. Please try it again.
Believe kcress first posted this fact. The HLG series of drivers only dims to about 50% of the drive current. So dawn will be like when you were a kid and mom came in and opened the blinds at 7:00 in the morning
Okay, so I have 96 XP-E Blues and 72 XP-G whites to work with in a parallel build.
I'm looking for a way to drive these in parallel using the HLG Meanwells that dim completely (or at least almost completely). My proposed layout split both colors of LED's into two groups so a total of 4 HLG150-48B's would be used.
Each HLG with blue LED's would have 48 LED's in 4 parallel strings of 12 running at 800mA. Two of them would total my 96 blue LED's
Each HLG with White LED's would have 36 LED's in 3 parallel strings of 12 running at 1000mA. The two of them would equal my 72 white LED's.
Would this work?

Actually I found the post and he's indicated that the HLG dims fully up until the HLG240 and HLG320. Those don't dim fully.
would i be able to run 16 cree xr-e RB on one driver to make it so two drivers run each unit and one driver runs each color bulb?
Powergate provided me with a quote for various MW drivers including HLGs. They seemed to indicate there would be no problem supplying though it could take up to 10 weeks to fill my order. Since the other drivers were ELN and LPC I'm guessing the high lead time would be due to the HLGs.
