Failed MD:LED-D35-2 LED Driver in Outdoor Fixtures

Poorly designed and built electronic LED components have created both short-term problems for people like you with broken products (like the MD:LED-D35-2) and unfortunately they have also helped damage the long-term reputation of LEDs. At LEDSupply we only provide LED parts and components from top brands like MagTech Industries for example, brands that have proven themselves over-time by providing long-lasting products (like the: LD-CU7021AF).

If unfortunately you have bought an outdoor LED fixture like the Dawson Twin Pack Wall Mount Outdoor Black LED Lantern by Hampton Bay (model# DWSW200030LBKC) and it failed, first of all, you aren’t the only one and secondly, we can help you recoup some costs.

Quick question on an LED Driver replacement.  I have an outdoor light post that has three lamps, each lamp has 3 led’s with the led driver pictured below powering them. I need a replacement and am wondering if your part number LD-CU7021AF is a suitable replacement, or if you recommend something else. -Mike

I hope you are able to help me out with my attempt to revive a discontinued LED porch light. The original LED driver has failed. Need something that is compatible with an RoHS driver. Tested the LED’s, they both work. 

Model # LED-D35-2
Input AC 120V; 60Hz
Output DC6-10v; 700mA
Load 6-9watt LED in series (It drives a pair of TVZT-3010-03UP LED’s)

Fortunately we offer a class 2 outdoor rated MagTech LED replacement driver with almost identical specifications. If you haven’t heard of MagTech, they’re located in the US and have been in-business for 26-years. We, as a supplier of theirs, have never had any issues with their products and highly recommend them. The MagTech LD-CU7021AF LED driver we offer is the perfect substitute for a defective LED-D35-2. It has short circuit and overload protection, is very compact in size (2.56”L X 1.28”W X 0.90”H), and has all the same input and output specifications of the driver you need to replace except for a slightly different output voltage; the MagTech output voltage range is more versatile and ranges from 4Vdc to 12Vdc, where the MD:LED-D35-2 only ranges from 6Vdc to 10Vdc. The intelligence inside the driver will automatically sense the voltage required of the LEDs and deliver the correct amount.

Installing the new LED driver:

Physically replacing the defective driver with this new MagTech is very easy. The new driver has different wire colors so be sure to follow the directions below. There are also no mounting options so sometimes double sided tape or velcro is helpful for keeping it put inside the fixture.

1. Disconnect the old driver, the new driver does not have the quick disconnects so you can cut the wires before the connector.
2. Use wire nuts to connect the wires: Black to Black, Red to Red on output. Blue to White, Brown to Black on the input. (pictured below)
3. Test the lights and put the assembly back together for a fixed light!

Should you have any questions our LD-CU7021AF MagTech product page provides more details or we are also available through email (sales@www.ledsupply.com) and phone (802) 728 6031.
