    850ma seems high for those LEDs... they might not last long. Better to run them less, so 600ma is good.

    That driver will work with 10 total of those LEDs, 5 on each side. It might also work with 8 total LEDs, but you will need to try it first; the driver will flash on and off if it will not work. Get 10 LEDs and connect them all in series in a temporary test; if they stay on for 10 seconds, then it will work and you can take it apart and put them on your scrubber.

    Hi!
    I restarted the building, ordered timers, temp. controller...
    and started soldering the leds!!
    just to assure...
    the 5 cm should be like:

    leds _5cm_ screen _5cm_ leds

    or

    leds _2.5cm_ screen _2.5cm_ leds


    hope you understand...
