Help identifying strips

Strip light questions and discussions go here (Samsung, Bridgelux, Photo Boost, Growcraft, etc.)

I Have a 8 strip led light made by progrowtech. It has a pink frame like the ev700. It has a burnt out driver and I was hoping to turn it into 2 lights for 2 4x2' tents. I've looked but cant seem to find what strips they use. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

The strips are most likely custom. What does the label on the burnt out driver say?

Sorry about the wait. I had it in storage.
There are 3 drivers total. They are run to 2 other boxes labeled, powered by microcode. They have no other markings. One of these is blown out, not the driver. My mistake.

There are 2 of the same drivers.
Inventronics EUD-320s670 DT
Constant current, type HL
input. 100-240/277 Vac. 4.04 amp max
Output. 320w, 24-68v. DC. 6600mA max

And 1 of this driver
Inventronics EUD150s560DTA
input. 100-240/277 Vac. 1.7amp
100-250/300 VDC. 1.7AMP.

If there is anything else you would need, let me know.
Thanks again for all your help.

Can I just use the 2 drivers singularly to power 4 strips each? Just add dimmer? I believe it has spectrum manipulations. But all I need is on and dim. There are 6ish output wires.

320=cool white and has 2 wires
320=warm white and has 2 wires
150w = reds and has 2 wires.

Not quite sure why they are going into a box and what "microcode" is. Shouldn't need any distribution boards, but maybe if they are parallel they took the extra step.

The boards are 3 channels....hence the 6 outputs, 2 wires for each channel.

The missing piece of info is what is the voltage of each board when running. On the channel that works can you get a multimeter on it to check the voltage?

Once you have that can figure out the specs to split it in two fixtures.

It is called micromole, sorry spell check got me.
One of them has a hole from the inside out. Like someone shot it with a .22 from the inside. Wondering what made it fail like that? But then again I don't know what it is.

I have a multi meter and will try and test it. How would I go about testing half of it? My friend said it was smoking before he put it out of commission.

Thank you for the help. I appreciate it.

So the broken box is on the input side. Should I put a plug on the 320 driver, bypassing the broken box? Wire to the strips should be series or parallel? Then test 4 strips?


Thanks again.

How they should be wired depends on how they're wired now, can you identify that?

I took apart the output current control box. It has 3 potentiometers. 3000k. 660nm. 6500k.

Is the 3000k and 6500k, the 320w drivers? The 120w to the 660nm?

Can I just put a 3prong plug to one 320w driver w/pot. And wire that to 4 strips. Then test that? Not trying to burn the place down.

Thanks

Shipbob i will look at it tomorrow when I have more time. I should be able to figure it out. Does my plan above seem right once I figure the strip wiring?
