someone that knows anything about it

So I got this light from work, it wAs for a job but I think 1 of the diodes burned out, now how would I go about testing the light? Obviously I can plug it in but looks like it's a small 220plug maybe ? I did some research an it says u can use either a reg 120 or the 220, now it also has one big ass heatsink, the whit circle that goes around it.. what would be the best way to go about combining this light with my mars 700, the 700 has about 1/4 of it burned out.. it's one whole corner here's pics of it

Well damn the first half of the title got cut off

Its weired that a single led driver would run 220 or 120 but it might have both resistors built in and if thats the case then its as simple as cuting ur 220wire and wireing on a 120 if u only have 120v outlets, or u can install a 220 15amp breaker in ur pannel and run 220wire and instal a 220 outlet. The breaker is very easy to do. Personaly without knowing the wireing of the other light the resitance volts amps current ect... u wount know if ur puting to much power thro 1 unit. Plus ur vetter off with two units so just incase one dies it wount stut both off.

Well where the plug wire connects it's acctually a clamp connector to where u just lift it up pull out the wire an put the new one in

Then it most likely has both 120/220 resitors built in so u just need a 120 cord for the unit.

Yup! Put a heavy duty cord an plug end on an plugged her in an she works perfect! There was a wire loose inside the 2ñd box tightend her up switched the cord an got a brand new 600 dollar light for free! There all cree cobs to

wow.. good score.. cree are by far the best LED's..
