| Sep 23, 2013 at 15:27 | comment | added | Emilien | I'm not sure if the voltage keeps rising (I cannot check this at the moment), but I guess that's how a constant current source should behave, so it probably raises to 75V. | |

| Sep 23, 2013 at 14:54 | comment | added | PeterJ | I upvoted your question because I look forward to informed answers, but I suspect it won't be as clear-cut as you expect and I'm not qualified to answer myself. But I do look forward to reaading good answers. | |
| Sep 23, 2013 at 14:53 | comment | added | Joe Hass | What happens to the voltage from your driver if one of the LEDs fails to an open circuit? Does the voltage just keep rising, trying to push 680mA? | |
| Sep 23, 2013 at 14:30 | comment | added | Emilien | What is the max DC output ({voltage,current}, or max. power?) that would be considered safe? Indeed there is a risk for the fish. I rely on the fact that the cat is lazy and will probably get bored very fast. However he is also curious and does weird things (like licking the border of my windows...?) so he might lick the wires as well. | |
| Sep 23, 2013 at 13:31 | comment | added | PeterJ | The 36-75V / 680mA max output of that driver is above what would be considered 100% safe. But I must ask (jokingly) if your cat can get his tongue in the tank isn't there an additional risk to the fish as well? | |
