I bought some old Gen2 30 Pros, and I have the issue were it pops my GCFI outlet. Will swaping out this board fix that issue?

It would most likely fix it if your problem is with the power supply. It won't fix it if your problem is with a bad led fixture.

Anyone have any solution like this for the gen 4 pros?

Gen 4 pros have a power pack so just match up the wattage/voltage/amperage with an ebay power pack and you should be ok.

Due to an unfortunate event I burned up my Radion power supply by getting it wet a few months back and $309 to replace it seemed like a big rip off. Well I decided to open it up and take a look at the board and it was basically just a run of the mill Chinese power supply. I then decided to get the specs off the Radion power supply box then entered them into google search and wallah a replacement from china for $25. It fit perfect in the Radion power supply case and runs great. I really wanted to share this with everyone the fix was 10 minutes and its working flawlessly. Photos are on my cell I will post them separately in a moment.

You can also use the Mean Well LRS-150-36 from LED Supply for $29.88 shipped. See https://www.ledsupply.com/power-supplies/mean-well-lrs-enclosed

Is this the correct replacement board? The other links no longer work. Mine just died and got to fix them.

Nope. You need 36 volt 150w. the linke https://www.ledsupply.com/power-supplies/mean-well-lrs-enclosed looks like it works. on the right you select the volt and watt. Select 36 and 150, you should see the part# change to LRS-150-36.

I did this fix and it worked. 1 did burn up after about 3 months and I had to replace, other is at 6 months and still going.

iReefer12 · Mar 9, 2020

Well, bought a couple, wish me luck

iReefer12 · Mar 12, 2020

Does it matter that they look different? I bought the correct one as far as I know.

So I worked on this today. Can someone chime in on whether I did this correct?

1) Chopped the wires as short as possible running to the Voltage Selector. The new circuit board had a Voltage Selector built onto it already, (the one on the EcoTech case is redundant now.)
2) I chopped the LED status light off the old circuit board.
3) Soldered the LED status light onto the new circuit board.
4) Shrink wrapped the newly soldered wires.
5) Reattached all the wires to the correct terminals.
6) Reinserted back into EcoTech case (albeit the screw holes to secure the new board inside the EcoTech case, so it’s just loose inside - I won’t shake it around)

Does this look like I did it correctly - P.S. It all turned on and the lights working well now, so I’m pretty sure I did it right, but I just want to make sure I’ve not done something dangerously wrong that will bite me in the future. Thanks for any help.

Hey iReefer,

I've connected my three XR30w G3 to the 220v instead of 110v (it was set to 110v). There was a "bang" loud sound then I disconnected all. Since I have one spare part of the power supply I tested all lights and all three are ok. However when I inserted the fuse of the good power supply in the onde of the bad power supplies, there were another "bang". So the I returned the fuse to the good power supply but it didn't work. Do you know what is happening? Do I need to buy this chinese board? Is there a specific orientation to insert the fuse?

The 110 set power supply plugged into the 220 is shot.
The fuse is also shot now.
Fuses have no orientation. Just a wire inside that melts w / too much current

I’m getting ready to do this. Just ordered one from Amazon. Thanks so much for posting pics. 3.5.21 and this is still very useful information when you look at when this post was started. The meanwell website didn’t have any available. The one I got from Amazon $17 plus $15 shipping.
