Radion Questions

[griss]

I’m trying to figure out why manually changing the Cycle button only cycles through either:

Blue/purple
Blue/white
White
White/ red

Might not be accurate but, shouldn’t there be a “cycle” that has all the LEDs lit?

Gotcha, like I said, this stuff is way over my head.

it's just math. power(w) = voltage x amps.

 

[griss]

it's just math. power(w) = voltage x amps.

griss + math = failure

I am completely non-technical when it comes to this stuff. So, for two XR15g3 Pros, which specific power supply would I need?

So, in that link I’d want (1) 5V 200w? Would I need to splice any wires? I am capable of doing that, but anything more electronic, I’m not comfortable with.

Thank you.

One of those can power the 2 lights.
So the 200w is FINE since you only need 170 Watts (85 x 2)

IF you want 1 power supply per light:
IF the lights are rated at 85 watts it is best to stick with at least that per light fixture.

a 90W "brick"..

$29.90 each.


W = V X A...
Your voltage needs to be correct.
Amps (watts) can be equal to 85 or greater. Doesn't matter the greater part, within reason.

@kharmaguru and @oreo57 thank you both very much for your help tonight.

Okay, smaller power supply is definitely for the Jebao. Guess I’ll need to buy another at some point.

That size works for the G3 24 x 4 = 96 watts.
If the plug fits.. ?

Oddly it is also for the Maxspect Gyre.. See the identical model #

Plug doesn’t fit the Radion.

 

[oreo57]

Plug doesn’t fit the Radion.

Got it. Thanks

 

[griss]

Wait, just found another power source double sided taped inside the stand. Checked both and both connect to the Radions. Guessing one of for the Jebao DCT-8000 and the other for the Radion????

 

[griss]

Plug doesn’t fit the Radion.

Correcting myself per the previous post, the plug DOES fit the Radion.
So, one of these is for the Radion and one for the Jebao. I’m thinking pic 3 is for the Radion based on what you guys have told me.

 

[Reefing102]

Looking at the below pic, it appears the CVE power supply is for the Jebao (given the match to the exterior casing)

Whereas the radion casing is smooth:

Thanks Shane. I’m not good with electronics and all this volts, amps, Hz stuff confuses me.

Both will work. If you run your light at all channels 100% the 4.0A one will be fine, the 3.0A one will run out of juice, maybe start doing weird things and get hotter.

Got it. So which one if for the Jebao?

Both will work safely.

Chart says 65w for that model so 65w/24v=2.7A required.

Interesting, this says the replacement for the DCT-8000 is 120 watts???? ETA, but the picture shows 96 watts? I’m confused, but what’s new

Sean, where did you find that table?

Lol and the picture shows 96w. If you want to be led astray, definitely use amazon listings for product information.

I googled the dct-8000 specs. Every chart with a model that ends in 8000 says 65w.

Thanks, I edited my post to add the 96w mention as you were responding.
