Hope this is posted in the right section.

Trying to repair an E-Bike headlight.

Here are all the specs. that I can find:



It can be powered with existing DC-DC 12V converter or a li-ion pack of 2S or 3S. Supported voltage limits: 6V-13V.
The light has 2x CREE XP-L LEDs, 4700K color temperature.
Light has 3 modes: low, medium, high (no flashing, no strobe).
Power consumption: 17Watt



The light was damaged do to too high of an input voltage.

The vendor is no longer in business.

I am guessing that the control board is faulty. After searching for boards, I cannot figure out which which one to buy, or even where to buy it.

Is it possible to determine a replacement board based on the specs. posted above?

Here are a few pictures of it.

Thanks.

Gutting another light may be a good option. Need to keep the original housing though because it directs the beam on to the roadway without blinding oncomming traffic.

The housing has enough room in it that a larger board would fit in it if needed.

Thanks for the idea.

Ive also used similar and they do work but i found it a pain cycling through modes while riding so id recommend 1 to 3 modes max. Also it says xhp50. Thats a 6v or 12v led (probably a mistake).
Id guess your leds are 3v?

I didnt recommend these initially as you said you went over 13v to blow the last one. Mine run off my main ebike battery which is pretty handy.
