LED Driver - Local availability?

[PDAlber]

I have two Reef Radiance LED fixtures over my tank. It appears that the driver for the blue LED channel has failed and needs to be replaced. Has anyone had any success finding LED drivers locally, or will I have to order them? The part number on the driver is HP060A-VR (Its dimmable).

I've never seen led drivers (atleast for our application) available locally. I would try to contact the vendor of your fixture first. Sometimes they have extra drivers or offer support.

Thanks. I've already emailed Reef Radiance. I was just looking for some other, possibly quicker, options.

hey I went into this LED store in Hialeah by the palmetto and saw they sell meanwell led drivers as well as many other LED fixtures and products maybe its worth giving them a call or checking them out. its called ecopowertech (305) 851-7028 2760 W 84th ST #4 , Hialeah FL 33016

Yep. That's a bit of a drive. Looks like that's their only location too. Thanks anyways.

Another question: If one LED fails, will all the other LED's on that channel stop lighting?

Hey knukles55,
Does that store carry the actual LED chips?

Not sure but they have many fixtures on display. It's more of a lighting store for homes but strictly LED but I'm not sure if they sell chips

Depends, if it burns out in can break the circuit. Are you sure the driver is bad?

Usually the cheap leds fail first.

Take a jumper wire and test each led to complete the circuit at each led. The channel will light up at what ever led went bad.

I'll give that a try. Thanks!
