Hipargeo Aqua Knight power supply

[CaseyWagner]

Hiya! Moved a bunch of stuff across the house, and some of my power supplies got "reorganized" by another family member.
So now I've got them back but I'm not sure which one goes with the Aqua Knight LEDs.
If you've got one can you read the part number from the AC adaptor for me?

Thanks!

Think there is more than one model.
2 things that might help..
1) States 24v and at 30W like >1A but probably less than 3A.
More common is 12V sooooooo YMMV.

Aqua Knight 30w LED issue

So after many positive reviews and the £40.00 price point I purchased the aqua knight 30w led fixture. The colours are great and the fan is whisper quiet, however I think I have a bit of an issue. The 24v AC/DC converter (similar to that on a laptop charger) gets pretty hot. The surface under...

2) Sort of matching waterproof plugs on this model

This is the more common model I guess.. Is that yours?

Awesome!
I've only got one 24 volt adaptor at 1.5 amps so that should be the ticket.

Well I'm not guaranteeing that. I'm still briefly looking to confirm it..

Well, it was the only one in the 24 volt range in the adaptors that were moved out of that room. So tested it and all was good.

It's not my primary light source so it was worth the shot.

Glad it worked.. I saw off hand references to 12V and the diode composition could have went either way including reference to both 3 and 5W diodes. Made the choice difficult.
If 24V was wrong the diodes would be really bright.. for awhile.

I did a test with the closest 12V i had and it wasn't enough juice for all the lights at once. So it wasn't a total stab in the dark

Bingo.. 24V fan..

#Reef-PI Aqua Knight A029 any?

I have been searching and haven't seen any thread regarding hacking Aqua Knight A029 into Reef-PI. Have anyone done it or knows if its possible. I have only seen it with the Chinese blackbox and kessil light.

AND constant current drivers which makes the voltage irrelevant for the most part..well as long as there is enough voltage.
Has my 2 cents all over it.. but hey 2 years ago..
