I bought similar priced 'LED power supply transformers' off ebay, and the 'power supply driver transformer' is actually a resistor and a diode in series. The output is at mains voltage under no load. Open it up and check it actually is safe before use. | |

| Jul 9, 2014 at 17:36 | comment | added | Funkyguy | I think its just chinese-english for "This works, don't question it, goodbye" It only has two input and two output pins. I don't see a configuration jumper or switch or anything. | |
| Jul 9, 2014 at 17:36 | comment | added | Unstable | Yeah that was confusing to me too, I was assuming it had different pins depending on if you wanted C.Current or Voltage (hopefully). When I get one thorough I will try and get the datasheet and test it. | |

| Jul 9, 2014 at 17:30 | comment | added | Funkyguy | "2. Constant current and voltage" EDIT: I'm saying how vague the description is | |
