Power Adapter for Reef Brite - Would this work for a replacement?

[bulldog0407]

Hey Everyone,

Bought some reef brites and one of the power adapters needs to be replaced. Would this work as a replacement? I am not sure if having an exact match is going to make a difference or not. Maybe someone with more electrical understanding can help. I have highlighted the differences.

Here is the Reefbrite Adapter information (24V 30W Power Adapter for 1-2 pcs12" 1-2 pcs15" or 1-24" LED Light)

Model : FY2401000
Input : 100-240V~50/60Hz 1.8A
Output : 24V===1A

Model : WT2401250
Input : 100-240V~50/60Hz 1.6A
Output : 24V===1.25A

First thing you need to do is match the output voltage, 24V in this case. Next, you want to make sure the current rating is at least greater than or equal to the old adapter, 1.25 > 1A in this case.


As long as the jacks are the same, the replacement should work. Do you know if the jack is the same for both adapters? The replacement has a male DC 2.1 jack on end.

Looks to be a 2.1 dc male to me, but there is no confirmation of this anywhere I search.

Ok, you can give it a shot then. If the jack doesn't fit, you could always cut off the jack from the old adapter and wire it on the new adapter.
