A few months ago, I bought a couple of used Kessil A360WE. I could see the inside of the Kessils were really dirty and the fan ran quite loud. So that’s when I hit Google and searched for an answer on how to thoroughly clean them. I found this video:
The key to thoroughly cleaning them is the ability to unhinge the fan from the rest of the body of the light and this was the only video that showed me how to do so. All the other ones tell you how to simply remove the outer casing and blow air in to the vents to get the dust out. Simply blowing air in to the vents will not allow you to get the salt crud, dust, dead spiders, old gummy bears (ha) out of the fan housing. Once I gave them a thorough cleaning, they now run much quieter and I am sure will cool the LED’s more efficiently and therefore will prolong the life of my lights...or at least I hope.
DISCLAIMER: do not do this if your lights are still in warranty. It WILL void the warranty.
Hope this helps! Comment or PM me if you have any questions.
