Meanwell Driver ELN 60-48D Driver (wire leads have been pre-tinned)

2x 1000mA Buckpuck Drivers with Potentiometers prewired with matching aluminum Knobs from ledsupply.com.

1x 700mA Buckpuck Driver prewired with potentiometer and matching aluminum knob (to match other pots on project box)

25 led array mounted on pre-drilled/tapped aluminum heatsink. All leds have been mounted with nylon bolts to prevent shorts and other headaches. The builder of the array has prewqired and soldered all leds in a three string array, each powerre by it's own buckpuck. The cool white leds are Cree, and some luxdrive, while the Royal Blue string/partials are Cree as well.

Powersupply1.com 36V power supply at 150Watts. It has twin +/- terminal posts to power two separate strings. Honestly he could have gone with just a 24V, but I am unsure as to his previous goals.

Project box houses all buckpucks and connectors, as well as the fan terminals/leads for duall 80mm fans mounted to the top of the fixture. There is a quad terminal RCA connector strip to power all four independant sources. Please see pictures.

There is an acrylic shroud built around the led heatsink and array, but it split apart during shipping, along with the original project box within which he originally installed the components. It can be fixed, but I am not that handy. Full story as to how this came about is below:
I purchased this fixture with the understanding that it's condition was far better than when it actually arrived. The packing job was horrid, and the fixture shipped from Honolulu, HI to Sacramento, CA via USPS Insured in an oversized box, with minimal popcorn and a single layer of 8mm bubble wrap. The box was crushed on one corner when I received it, and I thought nothing of it. I opened it in the truck outside the Post Office, and the flakes of acrylic and plastic from the original clear project box fell to the cabin floor. One led had it's 90 degree optic sheared off the top, taking the built in protective "glass bubble" off the top with it, rendering the led useless. One buckpuck had severed terminals, and another was literally knotted around a broken piece of the project box. This think had the ride of it's life.
I contacted the shipper, explained the issue, and he told me to chill and wait for his claim to come in. I waited, received notice, and went in this morning. They will not look at it due to me not having the original packaging. My problem now.
I am a known equipment hoarder, and I've lost interest with this "project". I attempted re-installing components in a new, more compact project box with new aluminum knobs for dimmability and such, and even deleted the Meanwell driver, and am including it for someone else to figure out. I mounted the power supply to the lid of the box to allow ease of setup when it comes time, but I'm frustrated with how this has gone with the shipper and claim.

This is a great set of compenents for the DIY guy looking to have a nice, powerfull LED setup. Let me know if you're interested. Pics below.

Led arrangment with 90 degree optics(think they're 90?) The center three without lenses are UV leds, and the one at the bottom left without an optic is a dead led from shipment, it needs replacing...

Acylic Housing, busted to hell... And 800MM twin fans with their own power leads...

I have pics of it when it came through shipping, it looked a lot worse. I also have a switchable Wall Wart to power the dimming function on the listed Meanwell driver... ASKING $200 for everything listed...firm. That is a huge savings in money and time, believe me. In equipment costs without wiring, soldering, or tapping and mounting you're looking at a little past $350 without taxes or shipping. Let me know, thanks!
