I have a project using two eBay 100W LED Chips 36V DC x 3.2A each. At this time power is provided by a single eBay 400W Boost Converter with adjustable voltage and current.
My questions are:
Should they be powered by 2 separate power supplies vs one ?
Wiring these 2 high power LED's, Series or Parallel if using one power supply.
What's the pros and cons of each, any safety in one vs the other ?
I'm no electrical wiz so please speak in backyard DIY language, thank you.
Thanks, Gary

You're probably fine with one converter. Even if that's a max output, you're only at half- and I'm assuming these are not going to be on all the time anyway.
Hook them up in parallel with each other. If you connect them in series, it cuts the voltage in half (each LED chip would only get half the total voltage).
My ex once told me I have a perfect face for radio.
