Apollo led replacement drivers ?

[madjoe]

Fixing led for a buddy he bought brand new but when i opened a driver was replaced with a mean well driver that keeps popping fuses any way where can i get a original driver here some pics

Heres the mw driver that was ghetto rigged in there and sold as new lol

For starters I would use only an UL UR or CE Listed Driver for safety.

Given the VF you should be fine trying a 700mA driver like the Mean Well LPC35-700.

The Apollo fixture has anemic thermal management but you should be good with adding 50mA to the drive current. The Fixture Life Span providing the fans are working should be close.

If you want analog dimmable the Meanwell ELN 30-48D should work.

Forward Voltage Range and Constant Current Output are what you need to look for. Which Mean Well Are you replacing with?

To be sure how many and what type of LEDs are on each driver?

Also I would highly not recommend replacing the exact driver as it is not UL or CE Certified... The last thing that anyone wants is a failure that results in a fire.

Thanks the funny thing is this was a mean well driver that went out for no reason even funnier is that the fixture was sold as new with this hack job of replaceing the driver lol . The leds r 3w and there r 24 of them . Fixing this for a buddy so i will pass on the info so he can order a replacement

3 watt LEDs normally have a Vf around 3-4

If you have two separate strings of 12, you should be good with the meanwell LPC35-700.
