Thread: K2 wiring diagram

    So without a relay on any mr board or anything altering of the wiring. Will a K2 on a MR board be brighter than a lux3 on an MR board?

    Let's take green... that color's cool. Then assume a linear curve for the lumens. Also the 800mA as an estimate for the amperage getting to it.

    80% of 80 lumens = 64 lumens

    53% of 130 lumens = 69 lumens

    That's not exact but if you were more exact it'd fall even more in the favor of the K2. The output curve is convex. That's why it's not that big of a deal that Erv runs the K2 at 1.3A... not that much of a difference and our eyes can barely tell.

    In my experience it runs a little better even wired like normal. The last one I did I followed what that one poster said about shunting to the batteries. It certainly did make it run a lot better and to me it's simpler than the relay.

    if you run a luke board with all the led strip wires attached, and a k2, it almost drives it to full potential, because that board overamps

    Default k2 on Mr OBI soundboard

    Excuse me,
    I have no idea to "how to" connect a K2 to an MR Obi Soundboard!

    Is there any Diagram?

    Thanks

    It's no different than wiring a conversion. The MR board just won't provide the led with enough amps to power it to it's full potential. To the MR conversion threads you must go.
