So at some point today my controller jacked my LEDs up past 100% causing my driver to fry. No idea how it happened. I've run my LEDs at 100% for days with no problems. Either way, right now my tank is without lights and I need a driver.
Does anyone know where I can find a Meanwell ELN-60-48P or something similar that is dimable. This lights my RapidLED DIY kit on my biocube. Anyone have any suggestions? I would like to pick one up today or tomorrow. If anyone knows PM me or call/txt me at 419-606-6532.
Thanks,
Greg

Crap! I have a driver that is too big for this project... I have A meanwell 150-48B. Can do up 48 LED's. If you are interested and cant find anything else. It will work, but if you will have to wire 12 led's for each strand of parallel. Something like that. It might need to have the trim pots turned down. But other than that they are brand new.

Are you sure your driver is fried and not your LEDs?

100% sure it's the driver. Whatever over clocked it melted the front of the case it got so hot.

I know. That was a new one for me too. I didn't even have the driver up all the way. It was only at about 70%. I cant imagine what it would have done if it was on full.
