Trying to see if I blew a cog so I don't make the mistake again. I just wired up a Mean Well HLG-185H-C1050A with a 3 prong plug and wanted to check everything was working properly so I grabbed a Vero 29 LED COB and attached the positive and negative leads directly to the COG. There was a pop and the COG never lit up fully. I did notice there are a few black dots now that were not there before. I tried using the harness and got the same result. So I took out the multimeter and the Mean Well was putting out 191v, so my thought is that I blew the COG with all that voltage. I thought the cog would only pull the 36v needed, I have 3 COGs left and I don't want to make any more expensive mistakes. If I have the COGs powered with positive in and negative out series how is the voltage regulated? Thanks for the help.

You're outside of the driver's parameters with just one COB. Need a min of 95v on the string.

Sorry about the COG and COB mixup, that Mr Spacely is a real jerk of a boss. Thanks Tags I didn't understand the primary voltage. So at 36v each I would need a string of at least 3 to test things out. I appreciate the help and comedy this community provides.
