357 Magnum Plus Led Light

[madbiker69]

So i have 4 Magnum 357 Plus Led lights which i picked up for $70 a piece. They work okay except for one which has a bad driver. There are 5 drivers for each light which power 46 led's a piece. Does anyone know the specs of these drivers and possible replacement i could use? The company that made these lights no longer exists do i cant go to them. The only numbers on the driver are. HOYETY 280UH
PQ3220 24-43. No idea what that means. Any ideas???

Do you have the photo of the driver? that will help a lot

Well it would be nice to go out and buy new lights but not in the budget. And i have had one harvest off these lights so far and i found the bud comparable if not better than what i pulled off using my 1000w hps unit. And a hell if alot cheaper. For that matter i have the framework to rebuild these lights if need be. So original question ...anyone have an idea on what kind of drivers were used for these lights?

there is no housing for the driver? just exposed in the light? there should be a spec label on the housing of the driver, then we can know the driving current and voltage info...

I remember that grow. All lined up in a single row against the wall of his attic. I’ll give him credit, his skill level with blurple leds was almost on par with mine, almost.

I think you’re right about flyhigh using them. You’re also right about them being ridiculously overpriced at the time considering what they were/are. I’m glad to see the OP got them for a good price and they seem to still have some life left in them.

Hi, yup the lights are still working fine. I think the drivers were the weak point in the chain. As for the cover, just a black case. No markings at all. Probably run of the mill garbage. I removed the cover to see if there was any specs written on the board itself. Kinda hoped someone on here had used them and had more info on the innards. Even if the lights go for a shit, i still have the frame/case, mounting board for the leds and the lenses. If you're into building led lights you can see the possibility of refitting them to a newer standard. And yes i got them cheap. 4 of these, two mars grow leds and a 5×5 gorilla grow tent for $290.
