Wiring help?

[andy_con]

ive no idea this is why im asking

I think thats how it should be done. Looks like you're trying to go through the Lasorb, which is designed to stop current / voltage I believe...

Excuse the drawing, I'm not much of an artist

I think the lasorb should be in parallel with each diode and then the diodes in series with each other.

Well if it should be in series then its not currently in the circuit.

To be in series the red wire should come into the 1st lasorb but the red supply to the diode should come from the black side of the lasorb so the current has passed through it. The black side of the 1st diode should then go to the red side of the 2nd lasorb, then the red side of the 2nd diode should be connected to the black side of the 2nd lasorb. The black side of the 2nd diode would then be connected to the return.

If it should be connected in parallel, then with the 1st lasorb the red should go into the red side of the 1st lasrob with a wire out to the red side of the diode as you currently have it. The black feed should then go into the black side of the 1st lasorb with a black wire out to the black side of the 1st diode. The red supply to the 2nd lasorb should be piggy backed off the red input to the 1st diode with a red wire out to the red side of the 2nd diode. (So 3 wires in the red side of the 1st lasorb). The black supply to the 2nd lasorb should be piggy backed off the black side of the 1st lasorb (so 3 wires out of the 1st lasorbs black side) with a black wire from the black side of the 2nd lasorb to the black side of the 2nd diode.

I think I have that explained ok!

As you have it at the moment, it looks as if you've tried to wire the lasorbs in parallel to the diodes but you've taken the positive feed to the 2nd lasorb from the negative side of the 1st lasorb thus putting the 2nd lasorb in series with the 1st even though its wired in parallel with the 2nd diode itself.

Driver voltage too low perhaps?

[andy_con]

this is what ive done is it wrong?

[White-Light]

As I explained above the 2nd lasorb is wired in series to the 1st as you've taken the power for the 2nd from the output of the 1st.

diag please ?

This is how I think you should have done it to keep them both in parallel (it will expand if clicked):

isnt that parallel not series?
