The LEDs might be genuine or at least good copies, but that driver is no way capable of delivering the 11 amps that they'd need to go to full power.

were smoking at 5.5a

and it was so hot the on off button fell off the pcb.

What you have there is a heater.

this is the driver that was in it
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12V-dc-Switch-LED-Driver-For-Cree-10W-T6-XML-XM-L2-U2-LED-light-12V-flashlight-/371690187793?hash=item568a762c11:g:bdMAAOSwtnpXoqUJ

so 2.5a max and it still blew it using 2.3a lol.

That says input 12v no wonder it blew up! Only getting 6.2v can't have ďone it much good. It also says supports 10w t6 not 11 of them!

my other light is the same and thats not stopped working.

also in the listing for the light it says

• Power Source: 1 x 8.4V 15000mAh Battery Pack

The self same driver is rated 3.7v to 12v

they all are tbh but cant find any driver that will power 11 leds and fit in the light as well.

cant seem to find anything bigger but much more over 4a the cables will start getting hot anyway.

The point actually being if the load was as it was supposed to be i.e. 110W at 6.2V the current would be 17.5A which would require at least 2.5 if not 4mm cable. It is all tat that is not fit for purpose! I like the line in the description that says function open circuit, short circuit and over loading as if they are all guaranteed!

 

[soundwave]

if you put 17a in to the leds they will melt if you cant cool them down lol



i asked the seller to send me this

as all the lights on ebay have tiny shite drivers as yes it has 11 leds but no way to power them or cool them down.

 

[chris_n]

Good luck

 

[soundwave]

dont need luck just need POWER lol and cables that dont melt over 5a

 

[Gubbins]

That's why they call it candle power ... it all goes to up in smoke..[emoji39]
