200W Offline LED driver, 240VAC input. Done with Power factor corrected Boost then LLC.
Output 250V, 0.8A
Efficiency would be 93%....but do you agree, that a 1kW LED Driver is not really practical, because the current would have to be so high and the LEDs would need to be paralleled, which is sub-optimal. As such, 200W is the highest comfortable level for LED drivers off 240VAC? Higher powers should be dealt with by just having multiple 200W drivers?
I am talking about having the driver mounted at floor level, and the leds mounted in the ceiling.

You can buy very high current leds, but they are rare, and they have supply iussues...as such, we really need to keep to more common current level COBs and LEDs....hence the lower power..you agree?
