Daisy chaining AI Hydra 26s

[DavidJTawil]

I have 4 hydra 26 Hds that I’m looking to daisy chain off of a single power supply. Has anybody done this before? Looking for some tips.

I AM NOT AN ELECTRICIAN!

I don’t have Hydras but I’ve done enough electronic design to say that you would most certainly be fine as long as you be sure to get a DC power supply that provides the right voltage and enough wattage.

I cannot find any info specifically on the power supplies online, but with a photo I could probably give you a ballpark as to what size power supply you would need.

 

[DavidJTawil]

I believe that the power consumption is 90w.

Do you know what voltage, 12v, 24v, something else?

 

[DavidJTawil]

I believe 36v

You will want to look for a DC power supply that is 36v in the 400 watt range then.

Something like this would probably be fine.

Maybe @Brew12 can confirm that I am correct though.

Yup, something like that should work. Just need to be careful to connect the lights in parallel and not series.
