Does anyone recognise these power supplies? They're cheap AliExpress led drivers and I want to change its output voltage to around 22V from 12V. I've read that the way to do this is to adjust the REF voltage on the IC that controls it. It's a KA3845 but I don't understand where that reference voltage is regulated. One voltage is feedback from the output where then other should be a reference.

What would be the best way to approach this? I can't find any schematics on these boards unfortunately.

Thanks.

Well there certainly is some regulation because attaching a load does not decrease the voltage by much. Increasing the voltage is indeed ambitious for the 12V model but lowering the voltage of the 12V model seems doable.
