Kerbash Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 Sup guys, woke up today to the smell of burnt plastic, looked around went into my garage and saw that the GHL mitras light was off and smoking... Anyone got any experience with this? This is actually the second GHL light of mine that went bad! Last one one of the connection burnt too. Also anyone got an extra used pair of lights they can sell? I think i want to replace the all three of them, but I want some time to look around first. Looking for something that can illuminate 2ft x 2ft x 2ft. Any lights you guys can recommended? I know Reeffi anything else? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Reeffi anything else? Amazon smatfarm 95w lights are pretty solid..kinda like redsea lights with the Kessil shimmer. I think I have 3 lights but not the mounting arms..I could do $60ea for you and a gallon a phyto lol..they were $125? Ea when I got them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brittany Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 But to prevent fire you need to make sure your AMPs are 75% the sockets max… fires indicate a socket maxed out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerbash Posted October 31 Author Share Posted October 31 I think I'm just gonna go a head and order the Reeffi light XD. If i replace all three thats just around 15 hundred, cheaper than ecotech or other brandnames. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krux Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 Maybe look at an AFCI for the outlet you plug them into. That would have probably saved me from my February wipeout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZillSS Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 Hi I'd be interested in taking a look at those smoked lights. If the led's still good can possibly replace driver with something better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
