Why don't you just solder up a little MOSFET board to greatly increase your current limit?? That would be the easiest solution by far.

Nice spread you have there.

This whole LED lighting move is fraught with hazards.

It looks like most projects are DIY projects, even though they are sold as off the shelf.

Good luck with your project.

Some more searching on the sellers site has revealed some minor spec issues with some modules.

It seems that the 30W module needs 32-35v and each string is 300mA.

[View:/resized-image/__size/1087x900/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-a1dd9162-9fcf-418a-819d-a8e688c1ab30/contentimage_5F00_182685.jpg:1087:900]

This is the correct picture ...and mine are definately different size chips as per the picture.

PLUS

The Infineon shield does 700mA per channel.

So I'm off to see if I can make it work with 20W modules ...which are listed as 32-35v and 600mA (ie 200mA per channel)

I might also see about power supplies ....
