Hi,
I have a technical question and made an executive decision to start a Q&A thread here - hope its cool.
Product - old mars hydro 300w full spectrum grow light. 3 fan version.
Looking from bottom, I can see that leds look like they are firmly attached to a BOARD of some sort.
From top I can see the aluminium PROFILE.
Q1: How are the board and profile attached to each other? What would be the best option to remove the profile / how/ instructions/pointers?
The product is bit too noisy for my taste. improoving cooling will also extend the mean time between failures (I have single burn out led in 2 units I have used) I will at very least exchange the fans. If possible - I might exchange the aluminium profile too.
Q2: If I remove the old profile - I guess heatconducting paste would be the recommended solution to attach new profile. Can you advice me on cheaper, nearly as good option? Would applying moderate& constant downward force to profile be doomed to fail for some reason?
Thank you in advance for time taken and answers/pointers given!
