Why are you overdriving the LEDs like that? The listing you showed had a max of 3.4-34 volts, depending upon the particular chip...

Hi Ray,
Apologies for not being clear. The listing was all the beads I was considering at that point in time... all the way from 1W to 100W. I finally settled on the 5W beads, highlighted in yellow. They use 6-7v per bead. So a series of nine needs 54-63V. When I changed my drivers to the Indian ones, I went with 600mA drivers, so that they run slightly under their max rating.
Regards,
Seshadri.
