Anybody here happening now if a 220v to 360v Step up Transformer exists or know way in which I can use these?
I did test these on 220v and lit up a panel but I would imagine it would hurt their lifespan being ran under voltage.
Or could operate one of these panels which is 120w max hooked up to 220v?

What is that driver out of? That is a pretty high voltage required just to drive those panels
They are out of Industrial parking garage lights. Output voltages is only 27-54 volts. They have 150 watt Max output so I figured they might be okay running on 220 volt driving a hundred Watt or so panel without overloading the input Max amp. My best guess is it withdraw 500-600ma with that panel, .7A the Max draw of that driver

Mmmmm I dont know and what I do know is I would proceed with caution for fear of damaging the panels IMHO

Well thank you everybody for your input. Everywhere I turn it seems to be the same answer, that it is not financially beneficial to make these work without a bunch of additional equipment. This seems to be a theme of mine, I'm also currently sitting on top of a brand new 575 volt Baldor Electric motor that I have no use for.
And off to eBay they go 😏

If you Ebay enough of them you should be able to get a nice new system already to fly
Hope so
 
Just as a side note in case anybody would like to know. If you can get your hands in an old PC power supply they will run a 12 volt system, I currently use one as a battery charger for automobiles. This is a small 80w one I use but some of these push out 30+amps @ 12v.
I have no intention of using them now but I was looking into them giant cob LEDs from eBay and using a PC Supply to run them but the efficiency tested by MiGrow on their YouTube channel made me think twice.
