Drivers?

A while ago one of the drivers on my DIY LEDs went bad (I didn't DIY them, I bought them from a guy who did). Since it only runs a few blues it wasn't something I worried about too much, but it does affect the light color and I'd like to get it fixed. Anyways, this is the exact driver that went bad: LED dimmable driver constant current

It's coming from China so shipping is 13$. It doesn't really make sense in my opinion to pay that much to ship a $22 driver..

Anyways, my question is, can I use any LED driver of similar power and stats to replace the broken one, or those it have to be that exact one?

 

Depends on the diodes you're using.

 

Hmm.. No clue what diodes are.. =\ Clarify?

 

Led..light emitting diode...

 

Ohhhhh yes derp..


They're 3 watt crees.

 

The driver you need depends on the total forward voltage of the LEDs that it will be running, plus needs to be set to run at or below the max mA for the individual LEDs. How many of what kind LEDs is it going to run (and which kind of CREEs, XPE, XTE, XPG...)?
