Hey friends.
I'm a plug and play LED user with no DIY wiring knowledge. 25 percent of my diodes failed to light up on my board today after trying my fixture from storage. There are 4 constant current drivers in the unit that can each handle 100w max. When I plugged in the fixture, 1 of the 4 series of diodes turned off after 3 seconds. I'm guessing the first driver had an overloaded current or simply failed after a few years of use.
The light was on the 235w setting. There was no sign of anything burning. 3/4 diode series and the cooling fans are working. The diodes and connections all look fine from outside but can't see much.
Here are the light specs:
Here is what the board looks like:
I'm going to open it up once I get the tools. Does this sound like a failed driver? Simple connection issue? Can't afford to to pay repair to California Lightworks atm. My silly power line was: Wall Outlet - Heavy Duty Extension Cord - Timer, Surge Protector - Fixture.
