I have an outdoor LED floodlight fixture that has started flashing (not flickering) steadily, about twice per second. A bit of Googling suggests that the driver is the problem, but I'm having trouble finding a replacement that matches the specs printed on the original (apparently, the driver and complete unit are no longer available).

I found a driver that comes pretty close, https://lightingsupply.com/products/sunlite-98280-su?variant=46654025171225, but at $33 shipped, it's a bit spendy.

But my question is really, how exact do the specs have to be, specifically the output current? My original driver shows 700mA output, the replacement I'm considering only outputs 650mA. Is that close enough?

Original

Eaton: ECLA-CCD-120-A-030-0700-00

Input Voltage: AC120V,60Hz
Input Current: 0.4A MAX
Output Voltage: 28-40V DC
Output Current: 700mA

Replacement Candidate

Sunlite 650Ma MV Constant Current Non-Dimmable 23W LED Driver (98280-SU)
Model: RS3-00650224F

PRI: 100-277VAC 50/60Hz 0.4A
SEC: DC25-37V 650mA

Cost: $19.92 + $13.99 shipping = $33.91

Looks close enough.
If you can open the bad driver it might be a bad startup cap.
Or all the caps.
They tend to be cheap no name junk
