Need help...Finnex transfo dead & timer-dimmer

PierreG said:

My Finnex Fudgeray+ 21watts AC-DC transformer is dead! The transformer output is DC15V 21 Watts

A Finnex replacement transfo is 30$+15$ shipping plus it need to some welding! I am not an electrical nerd !

1) Can I replace it by this transfo ? IB 261911841194 Any better choice?

Lots of better choices esp. if you want to dim and run 2 units off one power supply..

2) Can I used this timer-dimmer (it can be cool) ? IB 261985934006

Yes just put each fixure on it's own channel.. Keep in mind the 4A per channel limit.. (60W)

3) I have 2 Finnex (21 watts)....Can i connect both Finnex on the same timer-dimmer ? probably....

Thank you!

See above.. only need to strip and attach.. Keeping polarity is the tricky part..Best w/ a voltmeter to check each part..
Wiring the fixtures "backwards" shouldn't damage them.. (no guarantees)..

Need at least a 3A 15V ps to run 2 units..(2x 1.4A)
LRS Mean Well Enclosed Switching Power Supplies

you you want to get fancy and give your lights a boost.. you can get one w/ adj. voltage.. Increasing voltage by a volt (16V) will increase output (at the cost of added heating)
Not for the squeemish.. just as an FYI..
It will cost more than $15 though..

Please...kept your explanation simple.I am not an electrical nerd !


I need a 24 volts transfo as input for the dimmer. A 3A should be good for 2 x 15v x21watts ? this brand 192024396859 ?


And after the dimmer, need to reduce the voltage from 24v to 15v with that ? 142028123893


That should work?


Thanks

Just need a 24 volts tranfo string for 2 lights x 15v x 21 watts? ..like 24v 3A ?


Thanks

no, you need a transformer that outputs the same voltage as what the Finnex wants.. Ignore the MOSFET part.


TC-420 will run on any voltage between 12 and 24V ....
Just attach the power supply (15v) to the input.. then attach each fixture to the outputs..



A bit sloppy .. ch1 is not used.. and those are 3 Beamsworks.. Finnex planted plus is about the same..

Watts = volts x amps..

or Amps=watts divided by volts..
