Electronic – LEDs losing brightness

ledpower supply

I got some high lumen LEDs. When I power them singularly they are indeed very bright.

I connected 52 of them in parallel in parallel and plugged to the same power source and the brightness dropped significantly.

The LEDs are 3.2v,1W. The battery pack (a controller for christmas lights) has 3 AA batteries. How can I fix the issue? Shall I add more batteries in parallel?

These are the specs given on the shop:

  • Matériel: Base d'alliage d'aluminium
  • Type: Perles de LED, SMD
  • Couleur de la lumière: blanc chaud, blanc (facultatif)
  • Longueur d'onde: 380 ~ 840nm
  • Puissance: 3W
  • Température de couleur: 3000 ~ 3200K, 6000 ~ 6500K
  • Tension: 3.2 ~ 3.4 V
  • Courant: 350mA
  • Luminosité: 100 ~ 110lm

You need to completely re-think your power source. If each LED takes 350mA, and you have 52 of them, then that's 18.2A to power all of them. There's no way you're going to get that from 3 AA cells.
