Can I use an off-the-shelf transformer with LED ring light?

[david85282]

Hi,

I have an expensive LED ring light (12V / 6 W). The manufacturer also supplies an expensive 24VDC power supply that must be connected to connected to an equally expensive 12V output controller to power the LEDs and control intensity.

I don't need the intensity control, so why can't I just connect the ring light to an off-the-shelf regulated 12VDC 500mA transformer? That would save me a lot of cost and some space and wiring. What are the dangers of doing this?

Thanks in advance!

can u plzz tell the exact model of ur LED light system, may be the controller has some Current limiting mechanism along with light intensity control

Here is the manual for the controller:
