LED Build Part II

Link to Part I

So..... I had a few ways to interpret this input voltage:
Deal Extreme Specs

  1. 12 VDC, not often used without operating amperage
  2. 120 VAC.
    I chose the second due to the little AC in the bottom right corner.is:

Boy was that a BAD choice.  It let all the smoke out of the capacitors, scared the hell out of Meg, and blew the breaker on the other side of a power bar.   I cut out the burned out driver.  I was about to be finished up with this project for now but I had a 12VDC power supply in the drawer so I hooked it up an voilà, working LED Panel!

Mock up of LED panel with 12VDC power source

Now I just need to wire all three panels to a permanent 12v I bought for this project (just in case).
