If this similar product is any indication, then this type of LED driver may not be accurate enough for anything but 445's and the current isn't high enough for them typically. http://www.xppower.com/pdfs/SF_LDU05-14.pdf Accuracy is only 8% and ripple is an astonishingly bad 25%! Might try them out on a scope though...
