bamburgb Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Does anyone know how to repair lights? I have a programmable led I have had for a few years and it looks like the channel for the blue lights went out. Last time this happened with one of my other lights the maker repaired it, but since then he has liquidated the company and doesn’t work on them anymore. Wanting to see if anyone on here knows how to diagnose and work on lights that may be able to work on them depending on the cost, that way I can have my light as a backup (had to put my backup on the tank).

mrk13p Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I actually still contacted Ken after he closed and he still fixed my light. Such an awesome guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Z Reef Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 IIRC ReefCorner lights were just a branded black box light. From the sound of it, you likely have one of two things wrong: 1. One of the blue LEDs brunt out and the fixture doesn’t have a bypass. Earlier units and cheaper ones never did so if you lost one led on the channel, the whole channel goes dead. (Most likely the issue if it’s 1-2 years old) 2. The driver went bad. They are pretty easy to get these days on eBay. if you lived closer I’d take a look at it for you. I’ve fixed a few myself. From where I’m at (Camas) it says it’s over an hour drive... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya the lights are like 5 years old and I would have no prob driving an hour to get the lights fixed haha, 6 hours ago, Bubbles said: I wold not be able to give u a firm price until I see what’s wrong with it.
