Nuvo 16-interesting story

A couple years ago, I purchased a nuvo 16 and nuvo 38. I used the lights from the 38 on my 16 and put the 16 lights away. Didn't even plug them in. Fast forward to today. I bought a nuvo 8 and decided to use one of the skyye lights I got with the 16 on my 8 so that I would have 2 lights side by side on the 8. The drivers for the whit lights are different. Plugged them in and the driver I got with the 16 barely lit up the white LEDs. Called innovative marine, sent them pics of the drivers and the lights and they told me the drivers were not their's.
I am totally speculating but guessing I received a product that was returned and shipped to me and someone had switched the drivers. I can't think of any other explanation. So now, I had to buy a new driver so I can run the light.
So long story short, check all equipment when you get them. I learned this 2 years too late.
