This is what it shows.what wattage are the lamps?
So, it should be working fine?The ZM-6223-CW seems to be a constant voltage (24v) lamp.
But that's a constant current supply!
HiSo, it should be working fine?
Oops, I just read the other reply. Sounds like it needs to be wired series.
Possibly, but it may be easier to replace the drivers???Hi
If I'm right about the specification of your lamps, they seem to be designed to run from a constant 24 volts. I was trying to say they do not seem to be the correct type for the power supply you have.
To work with your present power supply, what you need is a lamp, or lamps, designed for a constant current of 350mA, that when drawing that, work within the range of 22 to 36 volts.
The supply you have does not necessarily give out 24volts. It tries to push 350mA round the circiut, and effectively 'winds up' (or 'winds down') its output voltage until the current reaches 350mA. There seems to be an incompatibility between the voltage your lamps need, and the voltage your supply will give out when it reaches 350mA.
If they don't work in parallel on your supply, I would doubt if they will work in series.
If you have a multimeter you should check the voltage coming out of your power unit when connected to the lamps. Of course it's always possible the power supply is faulty!
Can you not acquire a lamp designed to work on a constant current of 350mA within the voltage range on your supply?
Each of your new lamps takes about 2 watts, so with 2 lamps you would need a 24 volt LED driver with at least 5 watts power. Anything above that will do, say 10 watts, but the higher the power rating the more expensive they tend to be. See what you can find!Possibly, but it may be easier to replace the drivers???
Well, I am totally confused now. I am not sure how I can wire these in series, as they are already pre-wired in each housing. I wanted to just check and make sure they would still not work properly in series before buying different drivers. I don’t seem to know how I can do this with these lamps the way they are already wired. Maybe I am missing something?? I even watched a few YouTube videos and they don’t help. Please see the pics for reference.Each of your new lamps takes about 2 watts, so with 2 lamps you would need a 24 volt LED driver with at least 5 watts power.

(5 watts at 24 volts is about 0.2 amps, ie 200mA, so any 24V power supply giving at least 0.2A should work!)

meanwhile, I will look for drivers mentioned.
These are 24v lamps. If you wire them in series they should need 48v to work. Your power supply doesn't go up to 48v. However if you still want to try it, you can wire them like this (sorry for scruffy sketch)Well, I am totally confused now.
