This was what we had to work with 15 years ago , useless disco lights that could barely grow a lettuce yet claimed to relace a 600w HID.
Feels like stripping something made much earlier like the 70s , so many components and hand assembly.
After a decade rusting away in the garage it sparked up fine but sounding like a leaf blower.
The actual wireing looks safe with a properly earthed steel caseing and good connectors.
The suplied mains cable had a fake earth prong on a three wire cable makeing it a potential deathtrap which kind of spoiled it.
Weighing twenty five pounds its a hefty chunk compared to modern.
Six computer fans were loud from new.
Steel case is crazy thick guage for what it does but adds weight and percieved value.
Not sure if the three led drivers are of any use in future builds or even the 12 volt transformers.

Thought it might be simple to swap out individual leds but dont see how on this setup.
Are they crimped in or soldered or both.
184 screws held the pcb to the heatsink , 3mm thick and finned weighing 1500g should be of use for something.
430mm by 270mm by 10mm.
25 by 13 rows of threaded holes.
Took an hour to take apart , this type of waste is hard to recycle.
