They're both 700mA drive current. Ones 55-86V that you can fit on it and probably 65-75watts.
The other is 150-190v you can fit on it and probably 120watts.
Simple

Airwalker..lol

Simple? I can do finance..I can grow plants .. ride a bike..

But this is as good as German to me :)

So..I'm looking for 2 drivers 700 mA..with voltages that fit in those same respective ranges?

Correct?

Yeah buddy. Did you try typing the model # right into Google?

As per previous discussions...

I've been poking around on google and didn't have any luck finding the drivers using the smudged serial number unfortunately...Even then scanning through Ebay you're inundated with tons of permutations and combinations of driver options..I'm not having much luck.
Let assume its the ballast (drivers are the issue)...any suggestions how to best search what I'm looking for? I've tried searching Ballast 700 mA Ac 100-240. ,DC...
These are generic Chinese drivers..I wanted to refurbish the 3'broken lights so they last a few years but didn't want to break the bank..

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Cheers

For these numbers: id go for meanwell hlg80h-c700 and hlg120h-c700. They cover ranges fine. AB version ideally.

Hey Rocket Soul..
As I mentioned, the lights have generic drivers in them and I'm trying to refurbish to get a few more years out of them...but keep the budget cheap..Meanwell Drivers are kinda the " topend" arent they?

I was hoping to spend $15-25 a piece...Again, I'm merely replacement some generic Chinese ballasts out of them...

Cheers

Was looking online..Those meanwell look like they're about $60 Cdn a piece...Can you think any other
Options that might work? Hopefully...
I kinda see it like putting money into an old car..

I'm tryin'...
Just having a difficult time as I don't really understand how the specs work per se...:(
and how, what I am searching for can be flexible..(ie multiple different units can do the same job)

Appreciate your help though

Youre looking for a constant current led driver 700mA of approx 80 and 120w ; try googling that. I dont know what cheaper alternatives are available. If you find anything link it and everybody can have a look.

Even if you buy the meanwells doesn't mean its money thrown away, you could reuse them in case you went diy at some point later. The other thing would be buying drivers that will keep you ok for now and in the same time have a long term plan to use them in diy...

Are there any Generic drivers out there that go to 190v DC...Heck I'm looking all over Ebay and I cant find anything..am I chasing a ghost?

I just prefer not to throw good money at
at a fading piece of equipment if I can help it.. :(

Thanks again RS ..I noticed a lot of wattage ratings..most somewhat less than what I'm looking for..
I'll keep looking...

I can grow...but feel like a child in a playground when it comes to "the build" side of the equation..outta my league, and don't mind admitting it..

Thx

Am I even looking at the right thing?

I'm looking at the AC component for the driver in the photo and it says two things: AC 150v-190v...it also says 12v 3 A (Amp?) Two entirely different things..

Seems to be this part that is throwing off my search for a generic replacement..



Thoughts?

"constant current led driver 80w" thats your google search term. Make sure the dc Volts and amps matches ,150--190v / 0.7 A from the pic above. 12V is no good, constant voltage. AC needs to match your power countrys system
