It would have been so much clearer if you'd posted that photo first.....

Well, from what he did post early on we could see what was going on here

I picked this panel up locally. It has a transformer, but it's the type that plugs into a ceiling fitting.

Is there not a power supply in the box? If not there should be.

Yes. It plugs into a special socket which I don't have

The 3rd post was 6 minutes after the first.

I know little about DALI.

Will that driver default to some sensible state in the absence of any control signals or connections?

It has a transformer

You're better off than I was. I got given a bunch of old panels, but no supply.

I thought "maybe I can clean off all the yellowing around the edges of the diffuser sheets".

No.

Then I thought "Oh well, they might still be OK for the shed. How much will a/some driver(s) cost?"

Oh. Dump it is, then.

Yeah, those.aren't cheap! I was very lucky with this. Ex-university panels. The seller hasn't had much luck so he's dropped the price down to £5 a panel and he showed me it working before he took payment.

If he still has some next payday I'm going to go grab a few more!
