I might be wrong but i think you'll struggle to get 15V output. It's a bit weird they're not 12V.

If you want to look at replacing the fittings please let me know what you need and as a forum sponsor I'm sure we can help to make is as painless on your pocket as possible.

Maybe something like the Ansell Prism would be suitable.

  • LED dimmable fire-rated downlight for domestic applications
  • Supplied with matt white bezel as standard
  • Integral driver with push-fit loop-in, loop-out terminals for ease and speed of installation
  • Fully tested for 30, 60 and 90 minute ceiling types to meet Part B of Building Regulations
  • Fully tested to meet Part C (moisture) and Part E (acoustic) of Building Regulations
  • Wide 60 degree beam angle for increased light distribution
  • LED lifespan L70 40,000 hours
  • supplied c/w Integral driver

If you do not need the lights to be fire rated there also some very well priced offerings from Ansell and JCC available.

Cheers,
Ivan

If you want to change the drivers then you will need to know the specifications of the LED itself. It may be that the drivers that you currently have are fine quality wise but are overloaded, or not correctly matched and that is why they are failing. If you replace like for like but with a more reliable model they may fail as well.

Personally I would take it as a lesson learnt and replace the lot. The old adage of buy cheap buy twice seems to spring to mind unfortunately.
