Most LED gear has a driver between the supply and the light, and the driver has an input side and an output side that are rated separately.
Plugging a lamp into a driver because the connector fits is the same error as the plug and the receptacle, with a part that costs more and fails less obviously.
The input side faces the supply and the output side faces the lamp, and they are two different sets of numbers on the same label. Checking one is checking half. The controls are part of it too -- a dimming control that is not the specified one is another mismatch in the same chain.
Check yourself: The connector from the driver fits the lamp. Are they compatible?
Answer: No. A compatible-looking connector does not prove a driver and lamp are compatible.
The connector is mechanical. Compatibility is the output ratings against what the lamp requires, and that is read off the label rather than felt by pushing two parts together.
