24-30V power supply

Hi,

I am playing around with using high-power LEDs for mood lighting - probably Cree XP-G or similar. I want to be able to run them at full brightness (1000ma), be able to dim them (PWM from an MCU), and use mains as the source.

thanks,

dan.

Have a look at some defunct laptop chargers. Usually in this sort of voltage range and sometimes up to 60-70 watts.

Here is a candidate from one of our suppliers of wireless equipment in Spain. These PSU are of decent quality, not the usual garbage.

I'm sure you can find similar in UK, e.g. from Solwise, or maybe shipping costs are acceptable.

Used 12v PSUs are far more available. 2x class II 12v PSUs would do it, but NOT class I.
