I modded a couple of 12V lights with Nichia 219’s and new drivers:

Nichia 219 Desk Lamp Retrofit

When I was upgrading all the lighting in my house to LED lights (My adventures in LED home lighting) my favorite Ebay LED bulb seller often had some other LED type items on sale. I occasionally put in some lowball bids and wound up with some items for stupid cheap prices (anybody need any LED street lights?). One of the items that I bid on and won was an LED desk light… 5 bucks or so and shipping costs were combined with some other stuff I bought that day. It was advertised as a 10 watt light, …

I also did a 20W one with a new driver (after the original one blew).

Will bought a couple of 12V ones that turned out to be direct drive… no driver at all.
