Replacement LED driver/ballast

Eric H

Well-known member
I have a LSI Scottsdale light fixture that has an LSI LED conversion kit. It stopped working and I’m assuming it needs a new driver.
I tried putting a new driver into a RAB lighting wall pak a few years ago and I couldn’t make it work.
Has anyone been able to replace just a driver or should I throw in the towel and just replace the whole fixture for over $500?
 
I don't know how well this will fit in an LSI fixture, but it's certainly a lot less than $500. I have the same brand of lights and have installed them in two other washes, and they've been completely problem-free.
 
Wow! Those look to be pretty close to the LSI fixtures. Thanks.
id still like to just replace the driver if anyone else has any experience

I install new drivers all the time and have no issues. Just make sure you get something with the same output voltage and at least as much amperage as you currently have. Lately I have been buying mean well drivers. That's the issue with led lights. The drivers always go out. Usually they will start strobing or just stop working all together.
 
This is what I did. Googled #s on driver to find replacement. Found out it as discontinued so contacted light mfgr for current replacement and price quoted was out of line for what seemed to be similar units, E Mailed MFGR of driver for current replacement info for obsolete unit. Got info and googled it (mfgr did not sell direct) and bought replacement for not much $.
 
LED lighting is polarity sensitive. 9/10 times if ive installed a driver and it doesnt light up ive swapped the output wires and then it works. rarely have i gotten a bad driver but it does happen.
