Driver Specs?

[Vesti Bule]

Hello All,

I am looking to expand my light footprint on the cheap using a quantum board controlled by a driver from an old blurple LED (one of those "300 watt" units that draws an actual 130-ish). I don't have a great deal of experience with electrical work, and am not sure where to start in finding a compatible QB. There are practically no markings on the driver (pics).

Would anyone know the specs on this driver, or if it is even possible to re-use? I know it's not exactly a top-of-the line bit of gadgetry, but it is what I have to work with.

Thanks!

Um, ok, I will assume from the total lack of response that this is far too absurd an idea to carry through...point taken.

Google it

That will give you the specs of the driver

But

I wouldn't use it


I diy all my QBs, pretty easy to do

@chrisscorpio Thanks, good to know, and I'll sideline that particular project.

Any idea what the down side would be of using a few of these COBs? I can't seem to get a straight answer as to the effective difference between units with integrated drivers (that can be wired directly with 110) and the COBs that need an external driver.

Seems to me they would be the simplest and by far the cheapest solution, but I don't see them used much so I also have to assume there is some problem with these from a tech/application standpoint.

Any thoughts?

And thanks.

Not a cob guy, sorry

From the reports by the few people here who've decided to be guinea pigs for those things, they don't perform well (before they burn up).

Other than that, though...

This driver is an excellent deal. I bought 3 of them and doing a build on an aluminum cookie sheet. I offered $30 and he took it.

@chrisscorpio - Thanks. I was kind of thinking that must be the case or they would be all over the place as the go-to diy cob.

@tslonige - Thanks, that is a great lead - good luck, and be well!
