Hello,
Got a LED ceiling light where the driver has failed. Checked the output voltage and the driver has definitely failed.
3 output wires coming from driver. See pic.
Light used to dim and change between warm white and ice white via remote control.
Not bothered about any of this now. Just want the light to be on and at one colour.

Will I be able to use any driver at the correct output?
And which wires will I connect into the output.

Thanks

It is a 24 volt DC power supply, not technically a driver, a driver has fixed current and variable voltage, and a power supply has variable current and fixed voltage, but the two words get swapped around, so the name means nothing, you want a 24 volt DC power supply.

The switch mode power supply can today go zero to full output in your case 36 watt, (24 x 1.5) but many of the older ones, will not go down to zero, you need a load for them to work. So the best test is, do the bulbs work with another power supply? Volt meters can lead one astray. Although yours does seem to be zero to full output type.

This 1731863627605.png is the output, but can't work out what the wires are connected to.
 
The output wires are crimped to 3 wires of the led strip light of the light fitting.
