DD its nothing to do with the led power supply been through all that, its a blown LED. Get a short length of wire and bridge across the LEDs that are out when you find the correct bulb they all come back on. You can then replace that bulb or temporarily make a bridge across it. I recieved a new power supply of them and found there was nothing wrong with the old one. Theres a seperate supply for small clusters of leds that are linked in series, so if one bulb blows they all go out in the cluster,its nothing to do with the power supply although a spare always comes in handy for later use. So to recap idenify the blown bulb in the cluster that has gone out then you can bridge across it to get them all back on. I'm going to get a couple of spare bulbs.

It might be an idea to sent them a message back and tell them you want a couple of spare bulbs. I found language tricky they were understanding less than i thought.

Anywhere in the UK you can get the 5w bulbs from?

Bit rough if the/a bulb has gone Considering being a New Unit?

Don't think the Problem Could be a bulb tbh.Thats probably Coincidence
 
Hi mate

Nice to see you pushing the boundaries, experimenting etc hope it works out nice for you! See you ditched the TDs, how you finding the Airforce fans? My 8" TD is quieter than my old battered 5" Ruck lol

Will keep my eye on this one

Hey bro, great to hear from you :)
Nah I don't ditch anything lol I just store it, so I now have a shed full of blockbusters, magnums, Mantis pro's, TDs, Ballasts of all different types and a shit load of other bits, just waiting for a massive grow room now to put it all in. Yeah I love the airforce 2 fan mate its even quieter than the TD but I did not use it much due to the size of it, but as I am not using duct then its ok where it is.

Glad your going to stick around mate this forum needs more friendly, knowledgeable people like you.

Stay well and stay tuned ;)

Dope Time the problem is definitley the bulb, I spend four hours fixing it and it now works fine. The Chinese company will buy millions of those leds and theres bound to be a few faulty. I've not bought a new bulb yet just removrd the bad one and bridged the connection they are all working fine now bar the faulty one of course. Tested the suspect power supply on another cluster of bulbs and it works fine. Its a common fault i've got a few Led Growlights a few years old and the thing that always goes wrong is a row or cluster of LED's going out, they can be fixed relatively simple once you have sussed it. To replace a bulb you will need to solder. Thers not much actually in them apart from the power supplies and LED bulbs plus fans. Everthing can be replaced cheaply. DD if they sent you a new power supply and a couple of bulbs you'll be able to fix it yourself for years to come. I know you quite a handy man so you'll soon fix it

They should send a good few bulbs extra being at that price

(They may have millions of leds but every unit will be checked at some Completed Stage)
 
Sorry DD didn't mean to derail your diary! Is this the first time you've flowered with the LEDs? Is the optimum from an LED still considered a gram per watt like HPS?

on yer tail, all d way, goodluck,,,,

Welcome aboard my friend, the more the merrier.

Ok slight update without any pics as to early but increase temps to 25c and PPM is at 1200ish trying to dial in as increases to 2500 if I don't go up there.

Also PM nutes are SHITE IMHO only they are weaker than dish water you need shed loads to make an impact and you need so many more additives to boost everything that you might as well go without. So sticking to GHE :)
