Is This LED Worth Salvaging?

[Underground Scientist]

So, in storage I had an old HTG Supply 45x2 Ratio of 7:1:1 - Red, Blue, Cool White. Only half the board lit up. Worth Salvaging or Upgrading?

What size driver and how much on ebay to replace it

Haven't researched LED technicals before...noob in opening them up for surgery, but I can learn. Guess I'll take these housings off.

I would salvage the fan, fan driver and maybe the housing and plug input. I would think the drivers are 85% efficient or less (mostly less) turn it into a single COB fixture.

Where would suggest looking for parts to do it?

@CobKits should be able to help you.

I would question whether a driver went bad or if it is part of the board that wigged out on you. Either way if the board died then I would bet parts don't exist and the drivers most likely don't have the balls to drive any COB that's worth a darn to make it worth your time and effort to covert it over with the hardware you have.

Now to just be able to use the housing, fan and fan driver you could stick a Cree cxb3590, Vero29 or a Citizen CLU048-1212 into it with a Meanwell LPC-60-1400 driver and have a 50'ish watt light.Granted I don't know if you would have room inside of the case for the LPC.

I'd save it all , You never know If you dont want it, Send it to me and i'll throw a vero in that bitch

I was thinking the same there budget buds. Go either a 4000k or 3500k. A 60w driver. Could even cut out the hole in the back for a big passive cooler.

Oh no , cut a hole in it and run an arctic alpine 64+ and one vero 29 ran at about 2100 mah with a b series meanwell for dimming Bad ass veg light
